Is Tony Romo Bothered by Having Girlfriend Jessica Simpson at His Football Games?

This story was too stupid to pass up. Besides, I’m curious to see how much money I can make from having a post with Jessica Simpson’s name in the tags.

Anyway, it’s been mentioned on more than one occasion that Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo’s crappy performance against the Philadelphia Eagles last Sunday (in a 10-6 loss) was because his girlfriend pop star Jessica Simpson was in Texas Stadium watching. If that’s the case, the Cowboys should start looking for a new QB. Which stinks because they just paid this one $67.5 million. Even WR Terrell Owens said Jessica should stay away:

“Right now, Jessica Simpson is not a fan favorite — in this locker room or in Texas Stadium ….. With everything that has happened, obviously the way Tony played and the comparison between her and Carrie Underwood, I think a lot of people feel like she’s kind of taken his focus away.”

Please tell me TO is saying this tongue-in-cheek. Tony Romo is no more bothered by having Jessica Simpson in the building than he is having head coach Wade Phillips on the sidelines. He’s a professional athlete and (supposedly) one of the best QBs in the NFL. If he has a bad game, it isn’t because his girlfriend is watching. Is this junior high school? Besides, wasn’t she at the Green Bay game the week before? I rest my case.

One more thing. Who cares who Tony Romo is dating? Really. Who cares?

(Note: Actually, I’ll tell you who cares. Get over to jessandashlee.com and tell Leora that the EMQB sent you.)
