Following the social media uproar after Tony Romo’s commentary during the AFC Championship, there has been no official comment from the former Dallas Cowboys quarterback-turned-broadcaster or from CBS Sports.

NFL Hall of Famer and Fox Sports analyst Shannon Sharpe weighed in as well as social media world continues to speculate what Romo intended to say during the Cincinnati-Kansas City playoff game.

Pretty wild that personalities from both Fox Sports and The Ringer are at the very least strongly insinuating Tony Romo almost used a racial slur on yesterday’s broadcast before catching himself.

Are people seriously thinking @tonyromo was going to use the N word? Do you even know football? Its obvious he was going to say 3 “nickelbacks”, but stopped when he realized that wasn’t the case.
