Romo has completed three full seasons of football since then, and his current contract expires after the 2030 season.
Depending on who you ask, Romo is just as polarizing as he was when he was the quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys, and he responded to the criticism during an appearance on Pat McAfee’s show.
“You’re doing yourself and you have to be yourself and stuff. You’re trying to do your best, and that doesn’t mean you’re not trying your best to be perfect at something. But then you look at it and it’s like noise is noise. That’s part of being in the business.” he said. “To me, it’s good, it’s bad. But at the end of the day, there are some things you don’t really listen to.”
Romo likes to listen to positive feedback instead.
“All the fans come up to me and say they love us and everything, and I feel the same way. When I look at things online, it’s just part of the process. But I don’t think it really changes anything,” he continued.
