Tony Romo had quite the message for Joe Buck.
Buck and his broadcast partner, Troy Aikman, who left Fox Sports for ESPN this NFL offseason, both appeared on this week’s “The Marchand and Ourand Sports Media Podcast,” to talk about a number of topics.
Tony Romo is credited for resetting the market for top-tier NFL broadcasters when he ignited a bidding war that culminated in a deal in which Romo got paid $17 million a year to remain at CBS.
In response to his deal, Aikman received a five-year deal worth a total of $90 million from ESPN while Buck is earning $75 million over five years from the network.
Romo saw Buck after the deal was announced and had a savage response to him.
“I saw Romo at the Tahoe golf tournament,” Buck said on the podcast. “I was eating dinner with the guy I brought there to caddie. [Romo] walks by and he said, ‘You’re welcome.’ Then he kept walking.”

Later in the broadcast, Buck revealed that he may very well have called his final baseball game.
“I’m not saying I’ll never do it again, but there’s a good chance I’ll never do it again,” Buck said.
Tom Brady, when he finally decides to retire, will join the top Fox Sports announce team on a deal that Marchand reported as being worth a whopping $375 million over 10 years.
