Early in his broadcasting career, Tony Romo was one of the league’s most insightful color commentators. Then, sometime around 2022 his contributions dropped somewhere into “Bob Saget introducing America’s Funniest Home Videos” when it came to reacting to plays.
2023 saw him take a turn away from random sound effects and into, uh, some weird existentialism and sentences he’s not quite sure how to end. He started Super Bowl 58 — his first big game in the booth — with some low-key energy and at least one instance of mixing up Nick and Joey Bosa, only one of whom is playing Sunday.
But he brought that unique energy back as CBS threw to commercial with Adele’s “Rolling in the Deep” playing as bumper music. Turns out, they can hear those bumpers in the booth.

Well. An attempt was made. Needless to say, an internet finely tuned to Romo’s weirdness jumped on his whale sounds.

We all deserve reparations for hearing Tony Romo try to sing.

Can’t call Nick Bosa, by his brother’s (Joey) name during the Super Bowl.
Come on Romo, it’s your Super Bowl too.

Tony Romo trying to hit that same high note we all do singing in the car to Rolling in the Deep.

I know you're not allowed to say anything positive about Tony Romo on Twitter, but I loved him humming to Adele going to commercial just now.

Romo singing Adele was either the best or worst moment in broadcasting history and I'm not sure which yet lol
