Tony Romo, CBS Sports’s No. 1 NFL game analyst, was arrested in Milwaukee on Thursday for OWI (operating while intoxicated).
According to the arrest report obtained by Fox6 Milwaukee, the former Cowboys quarterback was pulled over while driving on Interstate 43. The 46-year-old Romo was taken into custody after “performing poorly on standardized field sobriety tests.” He’s due in court on Monday, Sep. 21.
Romo’s arrest comes just weeks before the start of the 2026 NFL season. Given the star power of Bills quarterback Josh Allen, Romo is likely to call the Bills-Texans Week 1 game on Sunday, Sep. 13 with play-by-play announcer Jim Nantz and sideline reporter Tracy Wolfson.
After quarterbacking the Cowboys for 14 seasons, Romo joined CBS in 2017 and immediately became the network’s No. 1 game analyst, succeeding veteran Phil Simms. Romo quickly became a TV sensation, with viewers dubbing him “Romostradamus” for his uncanny ability to predict play calls just before they played out on the field.
But Romo has faced mounting criticism for his on-air performance in recent seasons. CBS also has a strong No. 2 team with JJ Watt and Ian Eagle.
