The CBS bosses met him for the first time at the NFL's Friday night Super Bowl party two years ago in Phoenix before the Patriots-Seahawks game. McManus asked Romo what he thought of the game, he gave a 10-minute answer and McManus decided a star was born and he was destined to be a No. 1 analyst. He will work with Jim Nantz, who can make anybody look good, but CBS never had Romo do a practice game with Nantz off the television to find out if he was any good at this.
