Tony Romo and the ladies, part II

000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001simpson.jpgAlmost exactly a year ago, we wrote a post about Tony Romo having one of his worst games of the year while his lady du jour, Carrie Underwood, sat and watched in Jerry Jones’ private suite. 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.

Nice excuse for posting a pic of Simpson. The best thing about an image of Jessica Simpson is that it can’t talk.

Packers never have that problem since, as far as I’ve seen, no one looking like Ms. Simpson (no relation to Homer) ever graced Lambeau field ….nor have the Vikings been distracted by anyone wearing a pink numbered jersey in their stands…not that I noticed

There are better things about it.

Poor Tony Romo, all that talent, gets the money and the girl and gets lucky enough to have a rib joint named after him.

I never have known my celebs. Is this one an actress singer or Hazelden rep ?

OFF TOPIC: I hate you, Peter King.

8. Minnesota (7-6). I just might like the Vikings more than they deserve to be liked.

I will now be pleasantly surprised if the lads defeat the Bears tonight. Gah.

I’d give up home field advantage every year if I could come home to her every night? Just don’t let the Ms. find out.

I don’t know if you guys heard or not but the Vikes and Bears are playing tonight.

DA BEARS!!!!

I’m just surprised that Romo can’t find a gorgeous woman that still has a career. I mean, I know that all of us wouldn’t have any problem with Ms. Simpson (as long as she was as mute as this photo), but I just figured that the QB of the Cowboys could do better, you know?

I can’t see herself becoming Mrs. Tony, however. I bet she talks…..plenty. And who knows ? Young boyz love her, so she might make a comeback like Joan Rivers…nice eye candy. Gotta admit that

jama says:

Joan Rivers as eye candy? Man P3 Wisconisn must be 99% men if you’re finding her attractive.

Paul Peter Paulos says:

Oops..wrong sentence structure…Simpson eye candy, Rivers no dandy..better ?

Ryan P. says:

Perhaps Romo thought that having a successful woman was ruining his Mojo. that’s why he traded in Carrie Underwood for Jessica.

Paul Peter Paulos says:

December 17th, 2007 at 2:05 pm

there is a joke about Rivers but I can’t say it here….something about facelifts

Paul Peter Paulos says:

Didn’t that Cowboy q.b., old what’s his name, the announcer last nite do the same thing…play hard, … hard. It’s a sport mantra I think

P3 apologizing for his sentence structure in that particular post is like Hitler sending a condolence card to Saul Goldenstein. A nice sentiment, but too much damage has already been done for it to be worth much.

whazzup ?

Besides, Adam, it’s the meaning that counts, and those that dig my deep and convoluted thoughts can grasp those gems, and those that wish to quibble over simple syllables they trip over are destined to find no room at the end (don’t ask now what that means)

Adam, that was an apt comparison.
