Jon Gruden Gets Really Excited About Tony Romo, Texas During ‘Monday Night Football’ (Video)

If we all enjoyed our job as much as Jon Gruden, the world would be a much better place. Or much crazier. Or both.

The former NFL coach turned Monday Night Football analyst has developed a reputation for really, really loving football and really, really loving those who play that game.

He’s not afraid to show that, either, as he’s proved time and time again during ESPN telecasts. He took that level of zaniness to a new level on Monday night prior to the Cowboys-Bears game when talking about Dallas quarterback Tony Romo.

“He is the most dazzling, playmaking quarterback in football — I love watching Romo,” Gruden said, before quoting the country band Little Texas and then doing his best Harry Callahan impression.

Romo went on to throw five interceptions.

See the craziness below.
