About
Cartoon Tony Romo refers to an illustration of CBS sports commentator and former Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo used as an on-screen graphic during the CBS broadcast of an NFL game between the Philadelphia Eagles and Carolina Panthers in mid-October 2017.
Origin
On October 12th, CBS included a graphic of an illustrated Tony Romo that appeared when Romo made points about the game between the Carolina Panthers and Philadelphia Eagles. That day, the Dallas Morning News Cowboys-covering Twitter account tweeted a comparison between the real-life Romo and his illustrated counterpart (shown below).
