Michael Thomas cites new Tony Romo deal in opposition to CBA
 

The decision by CBS to get Tony Romo under contract in advance of CBS getting the NFL under contract could make it just a little harder for the NFL to get any network under contract.

Responding to the news of Romo making $17 million per year to serve as a game analyst on TV (only $1 million less per year than he was making as a starting quarterback), Saints receiver Michael Thomas — the 2019 NFL offensive player of the year — cited the Romo contract as proof positive that players should be negative about the proposed labor deal.

“[T]hat’s why we shouldn’t sign the new CBA agreement no way the announcer should be making more than 90% of the players,” Thomas tweeted Friday night, adding a #No for good measure.

And yet a successful CEO of a corporation can make as much half a complete NFL roster per year.

:rofl: :rofl: Again SO PREDICTABLE!! :rolleyes: :rofl: :rofl:

AS MUCH AS HALF? HALF? WHAT A PATHETIC!! EXAMPLE!!!

A TRUE SUCCESSFUL CEO / TEAM OWNER COULD PAY A COMPLETE NFL ROSTER. WHILST STILL HAVING BILLIONS IN THE BANK!!!


The only thing the average working fan has in common with the "SUCCESSFUL CEO" is that average working fan probably busts his hump so his "SUCCESSFUL CEO" can enjoy his "SKY BOX"

And you ask if "I CAN EVER BE SERIOUS???!!!" :rofl: :rofl:

NO!! DON'T TELL ME!!!

NOW YOU'RE PLAYING DEVIL'S ADVOCATE!!!! :rofl: :rofl:

I really don't get your point. Seldom do, in fact.

Re: Michael Thomas cites new Tony Romo deal in opposition to CBA
 

The Romo contract was pretty astonishing, but it was a perfect storm of Romo being so much better than any of the other NFL color guys, the only other great color guy Chucky is currently coaching the Raiders and a bidding war for his services developed. A lot more risk/money involved in the players turning down deals and potentially holding out.

Ok Bernie Sanders.

Now that's some funny **** right there! :roflmao:

Re: Michael Thomas cites new Tony Romo deal in opposition to CBA
 

It is fairly bad form to release someone else's compensation. Romo is employed by CBS not the NFL and has zero cap or CBA.

Its really no ones business what he makes.

Probably on his agent trying to get props.

Mike kinda complains a lot doesn't he? Like his Twitter profile is non stop moaning about stuff and firing back at people.

This is why I always said to not worry so much about personality when it comes to these players, because if you knew them, you probably wouldn’t like them. Most of the forum disagrees with my stances and ideology, while cheering for players that would align themselves with me 7 days out of 7. Just assemble the right talent. **** personality. With that said, he’s right. Shout out to my boy Mike!

I agree more often than not with what you contribute here. However, I disagree with MT on this one. Networks pay money. Teams pay money. But neither is directly connected.

There is plenty of room for everyone to make money in and around the NFL enterprise. With his ability to predict and explain plays Romo is arguably the best. Guys like Joe Buck and even Troy Aikman don't come close. IMO, Romo makes the game more watchable.

Besides that, he's in demand (just like MT) and so CBS paid for his services. This is big for a network that shells out a billion in programming rights. Could you imagine what Monday Night Football would pay not to have Booger and Tesitore limp across 4 hours of live football anymore?

When MT tweets this out he only sounds immature and jealous.

Re: Michael Thomas cites new Tony Romo deal in opposition to CBA
 

I can’t lie, I’d be mad too if I had to fight for $15 million from the league when Romo just got $17 million to commentate on it.

Re: Michael Thomas cites new Tony Romo deal in opposition to CBA
 

But he is so far superior than so many others. I think he deserves it. And I wasn't a Romo fan when he played.

Re: Michael Thomas cites new Tony Romo deal in opposition to CBA
 

I don't really like them and I don't know them.

Re: Michael Thomas cites new Tony Romo deal in opposition to CBA
 

You’re a mean guy Danno. Lmao!

Re: Michael Thomas cites new Tony Romo deal in opposition to CBA
 

I don’t think Mike meant he ain’t deserve. I think he’s saying NFL players should be making more in general, but I’m sure they’ll ask him to elaborate on it soon.

Re: Michael Thomas cites new Tony Romo deal in opposition to CBA
 

I just heard that Nick Solder, an NFL team rep, asked fifteen players on his team's roster if they would be willing to play a 17th game in exchange for the added benefits and pay provided for in the proposed CBA and they all said that they would. This is pretty much the vibe I'm getting from around the league. The vocal minority that are speaking in opposition are just that ... a minority. Solder said that while the deal isn't perfect it is much better than what they had and there is no guarantee that if the deal was rejected that another would be any better and it could very possibly be worse.

Re: Michael Thomas cites new Tony Romo deal in opposition to CBA
 

I also read that Michael Thomas admittedly had not kept up with any of the negotiations the PA and the league have been having over the past ten months and his comments, and those of other players who have not been involved, are making those players that have been involved even more determined to get the deal approved.

Re: Michael Thomas cites new Tony Romo deal in opposition to CBA
 

In the land of economics many need to learn about supply and demand. Tony Romo is by far the best at what he does, in a much more scarce profession.

Re: Michael Thomas cites new Tony Romo deal in opposition to CBA
 

And movie stars get paid more for acting like soldiers that real soldiers do. Tony will work for CBS to talk about football. Thomas works for the Saints to play football. CBS isn't taking Thomas' money to pay Romo. Thomas needs to learn when to keep his opinion to himself. A quote that has been applied to a number of people seems to apply here..."Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and to remove all doubt."

One injury away from turning in applications like the rest of us.
