  "account": "Tony Romo, the former Dallas Cowboys quarterback, has parted ways with CBS after pleading no contest to a driving while intoxicated charge. The incident occurred on July 23rd when Romo was pulled over while driving on Interstate 43 in Wisconsin. According to court records, Romo lost his driving privileges for six months and was required to complete an alcohol assessment program and fined $834. CBS Sports placed him on indefinite leave from his role as the network's primary game analyst. Romo, who served as the primary game analyst for CBS' NFL coverage since 2017, stated that he will take a break to focus on his health and family. JJ Watt will continue as the play-by-play announcer, with Jim Nantz and Tracy Wolfson taking over as the sideline reporter as Romo's replacement.",
