Not to go Bill Simmons on everybody, but Tony Romo reminds us of the guy who goes on an unbelievable black jack run in Vegas, suddenly has $20K in his pocket and thinks he’s invincible even though 8 hours ago nobody knew who he was. He came into the Cowboys’ lineup and reminded everyone that he’s not Drew Bledsoe. He freelances. He has a nice arm. He throws interceptions. But it’s far too early for the comparisons to a young Brett Favre. Then we get Romo linked to Jessica Simpson — clear evidence that the young man is flinging $100s at valets and inching toward the Vegas police blotter. Then we come to find out he has Carrie Underwood watching Monday’s game from Jerry Jones’ suite. And it’s one of his worst games of the year. Tony: Baby steps. You’re overmatched here. Get back to fundamentals, like the 8-yard slant. Stop splitting fours and face cards. Stop thinking you’re the next big thing because two more games like Monday’s and nobody will want to date you. Not even T.O.Â
