CBS NFL analyst and former Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo has pleaded no contest to a charge of operating while intoxicated and has issued a statement apologizing for the actions that led to his July arrest.
Tony Romo is facing three more citations in connection with his arrest last month that got him placed on leave from his role as CBS’ lead analyst on NFL games.
The Atlanta Falcons have named former longtime quarterback Matt Ryan to the newly created role of president of football.
Matt Ryan, who retired last week after 15 years in the NFL, will join CBS Sports as a studio analyst on “The NFL Today” and Phil Simms and Boomer Esiason will leave after long runs on the show.
CBS Sports Chairman Sean McManus has known for over a year when he planned to retire and who would be his successor.
But the rapid job growth of the past two years seems to be cooling off. Economists polled by Refinitiv estimate that Friday's employment report from the Labor Department will show that the nation added 160,000 jobs in June, while remaining at a historically low 3.6% unemployment rate. Zandi was discussing the June report from payroll processor ADP, an imperfect proxy for the Bureau of Labor Statistics' survey, which showed particular weakness in construction and retail jobs. "Normally, as employment growth slows late in a cycle, we still get accelerating wage gains," Berson said. "If job growth slows, then acceleration in wages may not be all that rapid, but they're still likely to move higher."
