We thank Tony for his contributions over the past nine years and wish him the best moving forward,” the network said in a statement.The former Dallas Cowboys quarterback was arrested during a July traffic stop in Milwaukee after police said he “performed poorly” on standardized field sobriety tests.

Romo pleaded no contest to a charge of operating a vehicle while intoxicated.In an Instagram post last month, Romo said that pain caused by his career led to “an over-reliance on alcohol.” “Multiple back surgeries ended my career earlier than I expected and left me with constant, debilitating pain,” he wrote.

“That pain led to a dependence on pain medication, and my efforts to get off those medications led to an over-reliance on alcohol.” For SubscribersFOR SUBSCRIBERSA sluggish Congress punts a long list of tasks until after the electionFOR SUBSCRIBERSIt’s rarely been harder for people to find new jobsFOR SUBSCRIBERS‘Some of the medication has worn off’: Witness recalls failed Tennessee execution of Christa PikeFOR SUBSCRIBERS‘Couldn’t let all of them die’: Hero Indian pilot attacked midair speaks for first time FOR SUBSCRIBERSHow Trump’s homelessness crackdown became a sweeping retreat from disability rightsFOR SUBSCRIBERSCornell rape allegation pushes embattled New York prosecutor into national spotlightFOR SUBSCRIBERSJudge guts noncitizen voting law used in Trump administration’s election pushFOR SUBSCRIBERSTrump to campaign in at least 17 states ahead of the midtermsFOR SUBSCRIBERSThe prosecutor at the center of the Cornell maelstromFOR SUBSCRIBERSCBP leaders cut out of Trump ad buy decisionFOR SUBSCRIBERSAmerican passenger drafted goodbye texts to her family as Flydubai plane plummetedFOR SUBSCRIBERSAbdul El-Sayed...
