Tony Romo is catching some heat over a comment he made over the weekend.
During Sunday’s Chiefs-Cardinals game, CBS’s cameras panned towards Andy Reid after Harrison Butker had just kicked a 54-yard field goal seconds before the half to extend their lead to 23-7.
Romo blurted out that Reid must be thinking: “Woah baby, let’s go get a snack.”

While the comment appeared to be lighthearted, some fans felt Romo was “fat shaming” Reid and thought his comment was rude.
@tonyromo @jimnance @CBSSports seriously? We are now body shamming on National television and this is acceptable? Do better! You are influencers to kids and here you are body shamming on National television! Shame on you! https://t.co/HKHLB0sM4y
