CBS analyst Tony Romo
Polarizing NFL on CBS analyst Tony Romo doesn’t have much of a filter, as evidenced by the Nov. 11 telecast featuring the New England Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Midway through the broadcast between the two Super Bowl hopefuls, Romo marveled at a play by the New England defense. It gave Romo a chance to praise the Patriots’ performance under new head coach Mike Vrabel while also revealing an interesting little tidbit about an apparent Vrabel moniker.
“Fundamentally sound,” Romo remarked during the CBS telecast. “This team is DTF, Jim. The Patriots — details, toughness, and they finish. That’s my moniker.”
“That’s very close to what Vrabel tells us, too,” play-by-play man Jim Nantz interjected.
“Oh, he says that, too?” Romo quipped.
“Except I think the T might be technique for him, but it’s all good,” Nantz replied.
Internet Reacts to Tomy Romo’s Patriots ‘DTF’ Comment
A quick Google search of “DTF” does offer a handful of different variations of the abbreviation and what it stands for, but there is one that stands out above the rest, at least in the minds of most. You know, the one that has its own Urban Dictionary definition.
That led to no shortage of reaction from the internet.
