Tony Romo is not running from his recent legal trouble.
The man is taking responsibility after his OWI arrest and three new citations. He is also reportedly talking with CBS about potentially returning to his broadcasting job.
A spokesperson tells TMZ … “Tony accepts full responsibility for his actions and has taken proactive steps to ensure that this isolated civil matter is properly resolved.”
They also tell us … “We are working with local authorities to bring this matter to a close and we are communicating with CBS about next steps.”
As you know, the NFL analyst and ex-Dallas Cowboys quarterback was busted last month in Wisconsin for driving under the influence.
And as we reported earlier, Romo’s facing 3 new citations in the case — first-offense operating while intoxicated, unsafe passing on the right side, and possessing open intoxicants in his vehicle.
Romo was arrested on suspicion of operating while intoxicated. The incident led to additional citations, putting him in an uncomfortable spotlight.

Instead of blaming someone else, Romo is owning his actions.
That is probably the smartest play he could make right now.
Tony Romo is not pretending the OWI arrest never happened. He is accepting responsibility and facing the consequences.
For a man famous for reading defenses, this may be one situation where there is no audible to call. Just own the play and move forward.
