We suggested that the talented Mr. Romo might want to focus on football; two weeks later, he dropped the snap in the playoff game, causing us to wonder (in print) if he would ever recover. (Hindsight is 20-20 moment of the day). Well, he’d been doing just fine this year … right up until Sunday, actually, when he invited another temptation of the flesh, Jessica Simpson, into the private suite for the game. The Cowboys lost 10-6 to the Eagles, Romo injured his thumb and, for the most part, again played one of his worst games of the season. Tony, for the last time: no more ladies at the games. Though Packers fans everywhere (like Don S., who reminded us of the story) surely want you to botch another game and give the home field advantage to the enemy, we can’t encourage this behavior. Unless, of course, the Vikings manage to make it to the second round of the playoffs and are in Dallas. Then, by all means, bring Carrie, Jessica, a mansion full of Hugh’s best, Bea Arthur, anyone.
