How would Tony Romo call a Cowboys game? 'I think he would be brutally honest,' Orlando Scandrick says

Newly retired Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo wasted literally no time decided what his next venture would be, signing on to be a commentator for CBS Sports.

His new status as a broadcaster could cause a peculiar situation as it is possible Romo will be on the team that works the Cowboys' Thanksgiving game this season.

It may seem odd for Romo to be covering his old teammates so soon after retiring, but Cowboys corner Orlando Scandrick doesn't think Romo will show any bias towards the Cowboys.

"I think he would be brutally honest," Scandrick said in an interview with NFL Network. "I think he'll just call it how he sees it. He's a smart guy. He's phenomenal at the way he understands the game. Tony's been a cerebral player for a long, long time and that's how he rose to what he was.

While some have questioned why CBS didn't have Romo work his way up through the ranks before taking over the lead booth, Scandrick thinks Romo will be a natural for the job.

"I think he's going to be great," Scandrick said before praising his former teammate. "Tony's resilient. I love the guy. I'm going to miss having him as my teammate. It was a great nine years with him. Since the day I walked in the door, he was never anything but helpful, a stand-up guy and a great teammate."
