The reporting

A neutral summary of the key facts most outlets agree on, drawn from reporting across the political spectrum.

Former Dallas Cowboys quarterback and CBS NFL analyst Tony Romo pleaded no contest to operating while intoxicated in Wisconsin after his July 23 arrest during a traffic stop on Interstate 43. A Wisconsin judge revoked Romo’s driving privileges for six months, ordered an ignition interlock device on any vehicle registered to him, and required him to complete an Alcohol Assessment Program and pay $784 in court costs. Romo apologized in a public statement, saying chronic pain from his football career contributed to an over-reliance on alcohol.
