Tony Romo accepts responsibility for July OWI arrest on spokesperson's behalf

Tony Romo, the former Dallas Cowboys quarterback, has accepted full responsibility for his July 23 OWI arrest in Wisconsin, according to a statement from an unnamed spokesperson. Romo was arrested after a traffic stop for unsafe driving following a golf tournament, where he initially declined a breathalyzer test and later performed poorly on additional testing. He faces multiple citations, including first-offense OWI and possession of an open container. CBS has placed Romo on indefinite leave from his analyst position, and he is scheduled for a court appearance on September 21, which could impact his return to the network, as insiders suggest he may be sidelined for the entire 2026 season.
