The Dude

John Madden was a lot more down to earth. He always made me laugh. 

Romo is a great analyst for sure.  He was also a good QB too.  Somehow he always gets plenty of hate.  Maybe it was the Star on the helmet that turns people off.  Maybe because he liked to golf and was unknown on the bench for years and then got thrown into the fire as a starter.  Before that, when Romo was on the practice squad, the Tuna (Bill Parcells) used to holler at him from audibling...."Tony, just run the play" and Romo would tell Parcells  "Well if I saw this defense I would do this instead..."  He knows what he is talking about from what he see's.  His gamesmanship, talent and toughness wasn't too shabby either.  It translated into a solid NFL career and great analyst too.  FYI, Big Romo fan here. 

IMO I preferred Madden, just because of his boisterous character and personality. Romo is a bit more leveled, but he still has wonderful strengths as an analyst.
