He's sharp. Nance seems like an old man at times, trying to keep up with him.
It seems to me that Jim Nance is really enjoying this. The two of them appear to be having lots of laughs and friendly banter back and forth.I like him in there. I'm sure the polished Nance hates having him there, but Tony is like watching the game with your brother in law. He gets excited, he is really knowledgeable, and he sounds like he is having fun.
I figured he would be anti-Eagle last night but sounded more like he was anti-Panther

As for the excitement thing, I don't get the beef from a lot of the posters on here. It's like nobody remembers Madden. Honestly, it's far better than some of the robotic crap we've been getting the last few years.
Gruden being the exception, of course. The problem with Gruden isn't the excitement. It's the constant nut hugging of every QB on the planet. I thought would be the case for Tony but he has been really good at identifying all the players in all 3 phases. He is also very knowledgeable on the defensive side of the ball which has impressed me. His insight on blitz packages and where and how to beat them was top-notch last night. Also calling when they are faking the blitz and dropping out. It's like he is reading the DC's mind.

It painful to admit for me,
but among the TV announcers, both Romo and Daryl Johnston are among the best - even though Romo has not the best voice IMHO. I initially liked Aikman, but IMO he has gone downhill, fast. Gruden can be very annoying as well.
He sure loved him some Wentz and Fletcher Cox
Romo has always loved CoxHe sure loved him some Wentz and Fletcher Cox
Romo has always loved Cox
Who?
Romo? Sure did... the way they have played recently, and especially how Cox played last night they deserve it. But yeah... still, him loving Wentz and Cox does not take away from him being a former 'Poke.
What little extra credit Gruden might get as a former Eagles coordinator does not even come close to offsetting how annoying he can be in the booth. Have to give credit where credit is due (both positive and negative).
I heard Nantz actually asked to be partners with Romo.I like him in there. I'm sure the polished Nance hates having him there, but Tony is like watching the game with your brother in law. He gets excited, he is really knowledgeable, and he sounds like he is having fun.

Moose is such an offensive blocking lackey though.It painful to admit for me,
