I was surprised that nobody posted about it yet. All I can say is what a way to pi$$ away an easy peasy career!

I think I heard that he shot a +35 that day on a difficult course.
You know what they say: shooting a +35 and getting a DUI later that day go hand-in-hand.

A first-offense Operating While Intoxicated (OWI)—the term for a DUI in Wisconsin—is generally treated as a civil traffic violation rather than a criminal crime. Standard penalties include fines of $150 to $300 (plus a mandatory $435 OWI surcharge), a 6-to-9-month driver's license revocation, and a mandatory alcohol assessment. Jail time is not required unless specific aggravating factors are present.

He's lucky. A first time in Pennsylvania with no injuries to another person and no property damage is well over $2K.

First thought, only thought, last thought after watching all of that. Romo seems like a really good guy. Always love when he is doing the 4:25 pm game and that next cocktail is more enjoyable than the first.

He would make for an excellent neighbor. Hope the network is kind.

I agree with all of the above, however having a 40 year old child with drinking problem and living in Retirement Village where 8 of 10 scheduled community activities have an alcohol theme there comes a time of accountability and reset .

Yeah, agree. Was just discussing his easy nature about the entire situation he created.

Good grief!! Why is this even news? Why did they release the bodycam footage? Do they release body cam footage of all DUIs? Also, a friend mentioned this was predictable in Wisconsin because everyone is drunk all the time in Wisconsin. :cool: 😂 🤷‍♂️

Agreed. The open bottle is really the only problem here. Guessing CBS will make him go to rehab

the very likely alcohol use disorder is the problem here, the open container is a symptom., When someone is pulled over for DUI they have usually been driving drunk many times before. Wonder if his drinking is an issue behind scenes at CBS

Good question--fair question
I disliked Romo as a QB but he has been very good in this role

Are you really someone who should be passing judgement on Tony Romo's DUI? :ROFLMAO:

Your demons, personal and professional, are well-documented on this board and others. :cool:

Sounds about right. (I’ve had my share of issues with drinking.)
