Tony Romo teases CBS return after ‘taking full responsibility’ of OWI arrest

Tony Romo is “taking full responsibility” for allegedly driving while intoxicated — and teasing a possible return to CBS Sports.

After the network’s lead NFL game analyst was placed “on leave” following last month’s OWI arrest in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, his rep told TMZ on Thursday that they are “communicating with CBS about next steps.”

The rep insisted his client “accepts full responsibility for his actions and has taken proactive steps to ensure that this isolated civil matter is properly resolved,” adding, “We are working with local authorities to bring this matter to a close.”

Romo’s attorney and reps for CBS Sports did not immediately respond to Page Six’s requests for comment.

On July 23, the retired NFL star was pulled over by a Milwaukee County Sheriff’s Office deputy for “unsafe passing” while he was driving southbound I-43 on the high-rise bridge.

The 46-year-old seemed confused by the traffic stop and said he was on his way to his grandparents’ house after spending the day at a golf course.

The arresting deputy told Romo he was under investigation for OWI “based on [his] driving and where [he was] coming from” as well as his “red, glassy eyes and the odor of an intoxicating alcoholic beverage on [his] breath.”

Though the former Dallas Cowboys quarterback insisted he had “zero” alcoholic beverages, the deputy said they found “a few shooters” in his backpack and an “open bottle of an alcoholic beverage” on the passenger side of his car.

Romo was then taken to the station, where he struggled through a field sobriety test.

In bodycam footage, he was seen stretching on one of the patrol vehicles before admitting he did not understand the instructions to complete the tasks, explaining, “There’s too many.”

Deputies later asked the ex-athlete whether he’d submit to a breathalyzer, to which he responded, “Oh, no, we’re not doing that. I already heard from all the lawyers don’t ever do that.”

He added, “Like I said, I want my lawyer — for the eighth time.”

The deputies then explained they would be asking a judge to sign off on a warrant to obtain a blood draw to determine what — if anything — was in his system and how much.

The married father of three has been cited for allegedly operating a vehicle while intoxicated, possessing open intoxicants in his car, unsafe passing and refusing to take a chemical test for intoxication following an arrest for OWI, which triggered the state’s notice to revoke his driver’s license. However, he has requested a refusal hearing.

Following the arrest — which marks his first — the sports commentator was booked and released shortly after and is due in court for an intake hearing on Sept. 21.

A first-offense OWI charge in Wisconsin is generally considered a civil offense, typically carrying a fine ranging from $150 to $300.
