When Tony Romo hit the turf Thursday with what appeared to be another broken collarbone, the AT&T Stadium crowd fell silent.
Then, for some unbelievable reason, CBS decided to pan a camera toward Candice Romo, the Dallas Cowboys quarterback’s wife. Her reaction was pained, to say the least.
These are just fantasy football players to most fans, but to their families, they’re husbands, fathers, brothers, cousins, loved ones. Tony Romo’s second major injury of the season had to be heartbreaking for his family, especially his wife, who explained before the game that the clan planned to order pizza for Thanksgiving dinner.
Candice Romo told The Dallas Morning News: “Tony likes to go rewatch the game and just gives us all a little film study on what happened.”
What happened was her husband suffered a likely season-ending injury — and CBS showed the world her personal anguish about it.
