Romo Faces New Citations After OWI Arrest

Former Cowboys quarterback and CBS broadcaster Tony Romo faces three new citations following his arrest for operating while intoxicated in Milwaukee last month.

More than a month after his arrest, authorities have charged Romo with first-offense operating while intoxicated, unsafe passing on the right side, and possessing open intoxicants in his vehicle. Romo was placed on leave by CBS eight days after the arrest, which created multiple bodycam videos that created a negative image.

CBS has elevated J.J. Watt to replace Romo on the network's top broadcast team, and it appears this will cover the entire season. Romo has four years left on his CBS contract at a total payout of $72 million. CBS could attempt to terminate the deal for cause, but Romo would likely fight such a move, making a settlement for less than the full amount possible. palladian.co.za
