If CBS decides to go that way they have to know it will sow dissension among new colleagues, especially when it's time for them to negotiate new contracts. If he leaves CBS they can trigger a non-compete clause, but they might waive it in return for him agreeing to tear up the remaining two years. As to Romo retiring, I remember Brett Favre coming on the Letterman Late Show after he announced his retirement. Dave asked him if retired from the NFL and he said yes, and then Dave asked him if he filed his papers. He laughed and didn't answer. Later he came back to play. I'm assuming the same for Romo - he hasn't filed his papers yet. But he would only come back as a starter (if he was willing to be a backup he could probably find a team now) and probably only for a contender. Those teams are in no hurry to sign him. -- -- TV or Not TV .... The Smartest (TV) People! You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TV or Not TV" group.
