Former Dallas Cowboys quarterback and current CBS Sports analyst Tony Romo entered a no contest plea to operating while intoxicated. A Wisconsin court revoked his driving rights for six months, required an ignition interlock on every vehicle registered to him, ordered completion of an alcohol assessment program, and imposed $834 in combined court costs and a fine, with a possible one-year license loss if he fails to comply.

Romo stated on Instagram that surgeries ending his playing days produced lasting pain, painkiller dependence, and then heavy drinking after he tried to quit the pills. He said he is working with physicians, accepting responsibility, and intends to resume broadcasting after addressing his health and family, while thanking relatives, friends, and NFL figures for support.

Milwaukee police stopped him on July 23 after observing an unsafe pass, noted disorientation and an alcohol odor, found an open drink in the passenger area plus small liquor bottles in a bag, and took him for a station sobriety exam he completed poorly.
