Tony Romo has oft been criticized as of late for a decline in his broadcasting abilities, but as the former Quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys, Romo said he's heard much worse.
Romo said before playing in the second annual Invited Celebrity Classic held at the Las Colinas Country Club, "I think that's normal. I think that happens to anybody.
"Anytime you're doing something well I think there's always going to be that. It's just the arc type of someone's career. It's happened to me a few times before, and that's a good thing."
Romo's NFL broadcast partner Jim Nantz defended Romo on a recent Sports Illustrated podcast, telling host Jimmy Traina, "I think there was a little bit of a misinformation attempt there to portray him in a not-so-favorable light.
"It was very disappointing. It really got, to me, more steam after the AFC championship game, which was our last game. And for the life of me, I didn't understand it."

He said per Sports Illustrated, "That stuff doesn't affect me, really once you play quarterback for the Cowboys you can deal with anything.
"You got to remember there's always someone's opinion there. But 100 other people that come up to you and tell you they love you. You're not going to please everyone. I do think at the end of the day there's a lot more people that really appreciate what we do, and I think CBS does a great job with their broadcast team."
