Tony Romo Pleads No Contest | Amarillo News

Tony Romo, CBS NFL analyst and former Cowboys QB, pleaded no contest to operating while intoxicated after a July arrest in Wisconsin — resulting in a six-month license suspension, an ignition interlock device requirement, and an alcohol assessment program. CBS has placed him on leave, replacing him with JJ Watt for the upcoming season. Romo took full responsibility, attributing his struggles to chronic pain and medication dependence that led to alcohol misuse — calling it personal failure, not an excuse. He’s working with doctors to recover and hopes to return to broadcasting. The case also involved dismissed charges of possessing open intoxicants and unsafe driving, with deputies noting poor field sobriety performance and an open bottle found in his Jeep. Romo, a key figure in CBS’s NFL coverage since 2017, is asking for privacy as he focuses on his health and family.
