is that we, as viewers, don't have any choice as to which announcers we hear. Outside of specific knowledge and competency as an announcer, of which there are plenty of quality guys, what warrants these salaries?
Why is Romo being paid roughly $18M a year when his specific presence has no impact on who views a game? Personally, I like Harlan and Olsen but neither of them make anywhere near what Romo makes.
He's not the only one, i.e, Joe Buck (the one announcer I wish would just go away) and Troy Aikman make large sums but have no impact on viewership.
