Even the commentators always have a favorite coming into each game, just like the fans. But they must maintain objectivity in the game even when they are endorsing someone. Well, this was not the case for Tony Romo during his commentary during today’s Packers vs. Titans game. The commentary was quite biased in favor of the Packers, and it was so clear that the fans got frustrated.
It is well known how the Packers’ fanbase has risen dramatically over the past year. Perhaps Tony Romo is also one of those die-hard fans of the team and wants them to improve from their current state this season. Even if it were the case, Romo shouldn’t have glazed his favorite team in any game.
Fans have reacted negatively to this, even yelling at the commentator to shut up and stop expressing his own views. One of the fans stated, “@tonyromo we get it you’re the personal voice of the Packers! Do better sir”

In addition, several Packers fans have expressed gratitude to the commentator.

Have an interesting take?
Yes, you read correctly—some fans have crossed the line in their mockery of Romo today. After noticing the biased comments, one fan chose to clarify the circumstances in a roasting way. They asserted that commentators celebrate the TDs of the Packers like they have won the Super Bowl, but when the Texans score a TD, they behave like their dog has died.
This was a hilarious roast as many fans laughed a lot on it. The X post read, “Packers big play = announcers yell like packers win Super Bowl Texans big play = announcers dog dies com’on”
In addition, some supporters began to severely criticize Tony Romo, even going so far as to say that he is doing favors for the Packers. This was a brutal comment that read,“@tonyromo Can you please get the Packers d— out yo mouth?”
