Good news for Cowboy fans!

Two bits of good news for fans of America’s Team. First, Hitler gets to wear that TO jersey with pride because the NFL’s most egotistical WR is staying in Dallas.
Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones plans to pay Terrell Owens’ $3 million roster bonus, which means the All-Pro wide receiver will be back for the final season of his three-year, $25 million contract.
“Yes, we are going to have Terrell back,” Jones said Tuesday at the Senior Bowl in Mobile, Ala.
Jones added that a contract extension for Owens is something he would consider “down the line.”
Owens finished with 81 catches for 1,355 yards and a team-record 15 touchdown receptions.
Sorry Cowboy haters. TO seems to have grown up.
Want some more good news (or bad, depending on what you think of the Boys)? Tony Romo has dumped the blonde.
Dallas Cowboys star Tony Romo has reportedly dumped Jessica Simpson, who was widely blamed for costing him a shot at the Super Bowl.
“Tony is now starting to blame her himself,” a pal told OK! magazine. “Before dating Jessica, he was Texas’ golden boy. Now he’s become a joke.”
A few days after the Giants bounced the Cowboys from the playoffs, Romo called the “Dukes of Hazzard” star to tell her their romance was over.
“He said he thought it was better if they went back to being friends,” a pal of hers said.
Why couldn’t they have had this discussion before the Giants debacle?

Romo can’t win the big game!
lorien1973 on January 24, 2008 at 12:00 PM
If Romo is blaming his poor performance on his girlfriend he is a bigger no talent ass clown that I had thought.
syndicate on January 24, 2008 at 12:02 PM
Too bad the cowboys don’t have a clutch qb like Eli Manning.
Shtetl G on January 24, 2008 at 12:02 PM
I have no idea what 1080i is, but I wan it!
tommylotto on January 24, 2008 at 12:02 PM
Over the phone? Classy!
MikeZero on January 24, 2008 at 12:02 PM
Tony Romo must be gay.
Gregor on January 24, 2008 at 12:04 PM
Attaboy, Tony, blame the GIRL for your stinkburger performance.
As a Giants fan I want to thank Jessica for hexing the QB and I want to thank Tony for being stupid enough to dump her AFTER he choked against the G-Men and not before.
HAPPY DAYS !!!
Always Right on January 24, 2008 at 12:05 PM
Yes, yes, blame Jessica for his lack of skill.
Ian on January 24, 2008 at 12:06 PM
I don’t understand….didn’t the Giants WIN?
Leonidas Hoplite on January 24, 2008 at 12:06 PM
Jessica,
I am not a QB, I don’t not have an iphone, and I will not blame you when the Vikings lose.
Call me.
infidel on January 24, 2008 at 12:06 PM
I don’t understand it, wasn’t he the first to be with Simpson? That’s what she told him…
right2bright on January 24, 2008 at 12:06 PM
And John Mayer. The girl is a professional beard. Next up - Eli.
Stephen M on January 24, 2008 at 12:07 PM
I guess Romo just couldn’t perform in any arena
georgealbert on January 24, 2008 at 12:07 PM
Yeah, he should have just sent her a text.
‘Bout time, Romo. Have a good season next year and maybe you can stave off all the jokes that were about to hitch up permanently to your name.
Spirit of 1776 on January 24, 2008 at 12:07 PM
Tony Romo.
Is a homo.
MadisonConservative on January 24, 2008 at 12:08 PM
What does this mean?
Gregor on January 24, 2008 at 12:09 PM
Did Romo have to dump her through Jessica’s dad when he was on the phone? I mean, her dad did chaperone them down in Mexico like they were still in high school. Too funny.
Planet Boulder on January 24, 2008 at 12:09 PM
Maybe she’s just high maintenance. After all, she is a woman. Har har.
Enrique on January 24, 2008 at 12:10 PM
Single-season team record for TDs belongs to Romo, and it’s a team that has Staubach and Aikman in its history. Lack of skill? Not.
Bryan on January 24, 2008 at 12:10 PM
Beard = slang for woman that accompanies a closeted gay man in public so his sexuality won’t be questioned.
Enrique on January 24, 2008 at 12:11 PM
I’m sorry. Does it matter? I’ll be happy to provide her with a lifetime of free maintenance.
Gregor on January 24, 2008 at 12:12 PM
That’s why he’s not at Brady’s level yet (and it pains me to say that, because I don’t like Brady at all). Romo can’t handle a hot celebrity girlfriend and still play at a high level. Very lame.
thirteen28 on January 24, 2008 at 12:12 PM
Ahhh! Clever, lol.
Gregor on January 24, 2008 at 12:12 PM
I think T.O. and Romo are dating now… “He’s my teammate…sniff sniff”
saltydogg14 on January 24, 2008 at 12:13 PM
Hey, Jessica, Eli is furiously trying to text you! Answer him!
kiakjones on January 24, 2008 at 12:13 PM
Honey, we have to break up. Everyone is making fun of me!
kcluva on January 24, 2008 at 12:14 PM
What? You give us a thread on Jessica Simpson and only give us a picture on the front page?
Tsk tsk.
Weebork on January 24, 2008 at 12:14 PM
By the way, that last comment should have read as if he was blaming Jessica (which he is) not you.
But he can’t compete in the big game! Bwhahaha. ‘Skins ‘08!
Ian on January 24, 2008 at 12:15 PM
2nd year in the the driver’s seat.
I don’t think we’ve seen the best or last of Tony Romo.
Techie on January 24, 2008 at 12:16 PM
A real man would have quit football for Simpson. Not the other way around.
Gregor on January 24, 2008 at 12:16 PM
There, you have a point. Then again, no one but Brady is at Brady’s level, and it’s possible that no one’s ever been at that level before.
Bryan on January 24, 2008 at 12:17 PM
Sure, it’s easy to say since none of us have a shot at Madamoiselle Simpson, so we can fantasize about what a great girlfriend she would be. Every hot girl seems like a dream come true until you start spending time with her. But once the flaws start to reveal themselves, the illusion is shattered.
Of course, I’m sure plenty of women that have dated me could say the same thing. I’m a great guy until you get to know me. :)
Enrique on January 24, 2008 at 12:17 PM
Remember guys……no matter how good looking they are….there’s a guy out there tired of putting up with her crap.
I think he got tired of the reeeeeediculous publicity.
RobG on January 24, 2008 at 12:20 PM
I’m sorry, but Jessica Simpson wasn’t dating the entire offensive line that promptly collapsed in the 4th quarter of that game and let the Giants ferocious D-line chase Romo all over the field. It’s hard to complete passes when you’re running for your life and there’s blue jerseys all over you.
Romo has to take responsibility for any loss, but that certainly wasn’t his fault by any means.
TheGoblinKing on January 24, 2008 at 12:20 PM
This whole blaming Jessica thing is ridiculous. Can it be possible that Romo just isn’t that consistent or good (yet)?
You can’t blame the Giants loss on Simpson. Blame on that hack of a coach, Wade Phillips. He didn’t have their team prepared. And the Boys didn’t execute.
If you Cowboy fans want to ignore the reality of having a bad coach and a young QB who shrinks in the big game, and blame it on a pop star you can feel free to. My question is what happens next season when she isn’t there to kick around?
krabbas on January 24, 2008 at 12:20 PM
Hey, somebody had to hold the video camera.
ErikTheRed on January 24, 2008 at 12:20 PM
Dang, that girl is easy on the eyes.
TheSitRep on January 24, 2008 at 12:21 PM
Ridiculous publicity is not the same thing as “her crap.”
If he broke up with her because he was being made fun of, and that’s what this appears to be … he’s an amazingly weak man.
Gregor on January 24, 2008 at 12:21 PM
maybe i can get her on the rebound
Defector01 on January 24, 2008 at 12:22 PM
I second the motion of more Simpson pics…. not only is she a Cowboy killer, she’s mighty easy on the eyes.
I probably couldn’t handle her for too long, though. When it comes down to it, I need someone with intelligence….
But she’s still easy on the eyes!
Vanceone on January 24, 2008 at 12:22 PM
That being said, and I usually don’t go for blondes, she’s really cute. It was this pic that swayed me one day:
http://averagejoepoliticsblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/03/jessica_simpson_american_flag.jpg
TheGoblinKing on January 24, 2008 at 12:24 PM
If he broke up with her because he was being made fun of, and that’s what this appears to be … he’s an amazingly weak man.
Besides, he’s not married to her. If she effects his happiness in any way, why keep her? Oh, just for more misery. Yay!
Spirit of 1776 on January 24, 2008 at 12:24 PM
No way to know what their relationship was really like. But I do know from her old reality show she was pretty dim… And I can imagine that there are thousands of Dallas area dimes lined up to be with Romo. The guy has options.
krabbas on January 24, 2008 at 12:24 PM
err, could care less about dallas, im a pittsburg fan. also never realy took the time to listen to jessicas music.
but if you guys could keep using that pic that would be awsome
would make a great new “red meat” tag
gberez on January 24, 2008 at 12:25 PM
…that and her performance in the Dukes of Hazzard movie.
TheGoblinKing on January 24, 2008 at 12:25 PM
He broke up with her b/c it will take zero effort to get another hot chick. Simpson was a serious step down from Carrie Underwood anyway.
brak on January 24, 2008 at 12:25 PM
Nothing…
Repeat, NOTHING…
Is worth giving up Jessica Simpson.
MadisonConservative on January 24, 2008 at 12:26 PM
That is a serious fact.
Bryan on January 24, 2008 at 12:26 PM
Ted Williams hit better with no one in scoring position. Just sayin’,…..
a capella on January 24, 2008 at 12:27 PM
Oh, I’m so glad about TO! We *need* more dropped passes in the playoffs!
sarahk on January 24, 2008 at 12:27 PM
No kidding. Tony has plenty of off the field game.
Spirit of 1776 on January 24, 2008 at 12:27 PM
Jessica, your work is done. Good job.
Thanks for the link, Bryan.
JammieWearingFool on January 24, 2008 at 12:28 PM
True. To Romo, it’s not like he’s unable to find another supermodel by tomorrow morning.
Gregor on January 24, 2008 at 12:29 PM
Um…ok….so Jessica is to blame for the fact that her DAD talked Romo into going to Cabo (and worse, taking him along) during the week off TR should have stayed in Texas to a) watch film, b) chant the Om, and c) eat hot wings at the Dallas Hooters with his linemen and receivers.
Ooookay….
Look we’ve all ceded decision-making authority to our John Thomas at some point, but it doesnt take a mad genius to know that a week before a divisional playoff game you MUST win is NOT one of those times, especially after you screwed the pooch last year.
No one is to blame for Romo’s stupid decision ‘cept Romo.
Mike D. on January 24, 2008 at 12:31 PM
Yeah, we have Crayton to thank for a couple too. If he’d caught that one when he was open across the middle against the Giants, the Boys probably win that game.
Bryan on January 24, 2008 at 12:31 PM
Wow. Amazing the difference in taste between men. I would not even look twice at Underwood over Simpson. She’s cute, but more the great looking girl next door type. Simpson is a Goddess.
But then again, I had a friend long ago who wouldn’t look at any woman under 200lbs. To each his own.
Gregor on January 24, 2008 at 12:32 PM
And he’s supposed to have the best hands on the team. When that happened, it was a bad bad sign.
Spirit of 1776 on January 24, 2008 at 12:33 PM
If Tony had spent more time with wounded war veterans than pop tarts the outcome of the game might have been different.
Mike Honcho on January 24, 2008 at 12:37 PM
Two years in a row now. Between bobbled holds on game winning field goals, to dropped passes … it sucks to be a Cowboys fan. But then again, I’m a Raider fan, so who am I to talk. : (
Gregor on January 24, 2008 at 12:38 PM
One post season does not make a career, besides, let’s look at where Tony was drafted vs. Eli. Oh, wait, TONY WASN’T and ELI CRIED to get in NY where he has been most known for being UNDERACHIEVING!
yea, Brady gets someone pregnant and dumps her, real class! you know, everyone said he wouldn’t come back from the botched snap last year and he took them to a 13-3 record. As Bryan has pointed out, the officiating was HORRIBLE and the o-line couldn’t block in the second half. The loss wasn’t Tony’s fault and if you think otherwise, you simply cannot be trusted as an analyst (as Hugh likes to say.)
Dhornertx on January 24, 2008 at 12:38 PM
How many passes did Jessica drop?
How many interceptions did she throw?
How many penaties was she called for?
Heck, what number jersey was she wearing?!
Well, whatever it is she did to make them lose, Giant fans thank you.
Regards,
The Mara Family
wildweasel on January 24, 2008 at 12:38 PM
Bryan - You may not be as atheitastic as AP but you sure cover topics close to my heart…thanks for the update!
oggy on January 24, 2008 at 12:38 PM
How dare you!
krabbas on January 24, 2008 at 12:38 PM
Harpoon on January 24, 2008 at 12:39 PM
I believe it was a pink #9 jersey.
krabbas on January 24, 2008 at 12:40 PM
Yup. Against that patchwork secondary, Crayton, TO and Glenn should have all had career days. Heck, add in Hurd and Witten and they should have been able to run up the score. But the O line stunk in the second half and the WRs all had skillet hands. Romo put the ball within reach when he could get the pass off. The loss wasn’t his fault.
Bryan on January 24, 2008 at 12:40 PM
I just wish I could be in the same position, so Jessica could interfere with my job.
Gregor on January 24, 2008 at 12:40 PM
sorry …… try this
My thoughts exacly. After the Cowboys 20 and 15+ play drives I thought the Giants defense would be gassed. It looks like it was the other way around.
Harpoon on January 24, 2008 at 12:40 PM
Yeah, ya’ll do have it worse. Trading Moss off for a 4th round pick and then him having a record-breaking year?! That’s tough.
One good thing about the Cowboys choking in the last few weeks of the season is that maybe Garrett won’t run off to be a head coach somewhere.
Spirit of 1776 on January 24, 2008 at 12:40 PM
You gotta give credit to the Giants D-Line. Those guys are fierce!
krabbas on January 24, 2008 at 12:41 PM
Yeeeaaaahhhh, rrriiiiggghhhhttttt. It was about the playoff loss. And not about watching Brady and Leinart bag gorgeous women right anf left. It’s about winning. Okay.
peacenprosperity on January 24, 2008 at 12:42 PM
They stepped up, no doubt, and credit is due. But the Cowboy O line’s job is to push the opponents around and they failed to do that when the season was on the line.
Bryan on January 24, 2008 at 12:43 PM
At this stage I think such blatant comparisons to Aikman are a bit premature. But hey, here’s hoping…
Blacklake on January 24, 2008 at 12:43 PM
Hahahaha. That made me laugh out loud.
krabbas on January 24, 2008 at 12:46 PM
I agree with everything you said there except for two minor notes. Romo rolls out of the pocket more quickly then most quarterbacks and when his O-line looked the worst was when he getting happy feet there near the end of the game. It’s harder for the line if they aren’t confident that the QB is going to be in the pocket ’cause the can’t just keep the guy on the outside.
I thought Romo taking the sack on the last drive instead of throwing it away was a drive killer, and that was all him. I don’t think I’ve ever seen him show frustration before like he did on those last few drives.
Spirit of 1776 on January 24, 2008 at 12:46 PM
My condolences. These are definitely lean years for you, my friend.
Mike Honcho on January 24, 2008 at 12:47 PM
Agreed, but I can’t say I blame him for the frustration. By that time it was already evident that the O line was getting dominated and the WRs weren’t catching well-thrown balls. What was he supposed to do, turn into Vince Young and just keep running for it?
Bryan on January 24, 2008 at 12:49 PM
What an ass**le!! You don’t dump a chick that hot because fans are giving you a hard time. She’s unbelievable looking, and you just don’t let that go. Unless you’re a big jock quarterback and you know the next hotter one if right around the corner.
I’d HOPE that he dumped her because he felt they just weren’t a fit. What an ass**le!!
RWLA on January 24, 2008 at 12:51 PM
I am a bonafied Cowboy hater but it’s always good to see someone as talented as TO pull it together.
12thman on January 24, 2008 at 12:52 PM
A man’s game played, coached, and refereed by all men, and somehow you all find a woman to blame. Pathetic.
MayBee on January 24, 2008 at 12:52 PM
If true… then he’s a total dumbass. Grow up Tony.
Gartrip on January 24, 2008 at 12:55 PM
I don’t blame him for the frustration either, but I am saying that a team feeds of the QB. The calm and confident usually win. I know that the situation was higher stakes, but it was a different Romo out there then we’ve seen in similar situations, Buffalo for ex.
It’s especially a problem for QB’s because when they try to force something, bad things usually happen. That’s what Romo did at the end. Instead of throwing the ball away and trusting his teammates to get open on the next play, he made a bad decision which they then couldn’t overcome. There were plenty of chances to beat NY at the end if they had played even keel, I think.
Spirit of 1776 on January 24, 2008 at 12:55 PM
Don’t get bent out of shape. When all these men look in the camera they say “Hi, Mom!” So they give women the credit too.
Spirit of 1776 on January 24, 2008 at 12:57 PM
No offense, Bryan, but Jessica had nothing to do with his slippery fingers the year before.
Esthier on January 24, 2008 at 12:57 PM
I really think you’re starring out the wrong part of the word.
Esthier on January 24, 2008 at 12:59 PM
LOL! That’s funny.
Gregor on January 24, 2008 at 1:03 PM
I fail to see how any of this has anything to do with the New England Patriots.
BKennedy on January 24, 2008 at 1:03 PM
I think some people are taking this whole post a little too seriously.
Bryan on January 24, 2008 at 1:04 PM
He gets paid to be a leader. He didn’t lead. He threw tantrums and interceptions. Best part is, he’ll be looking over his shoulder again next year, hoping he doesn’t blow it for a third time when the chips are down. And, we all know what happens when that gets into a QB’s head. Deeelicious.
a capella on January 24, 2008 at 1:04 PM
Wow….all you cowboy fans sure don’t think much of your Tony Romo!
Tom Brady is running around with Giselle.
Maybe Tony thinks he can do BETTER!!! Maybe he better-dealed her!
Jessica’s hot but there’s hotter. And the only thing hot broads like as much as rock stars are ATHLETES!
wildweasel on January 24, 2008 at 1:06 PM
Forget Jessica, I’ll be Tony’s beotch if he’ll just win a flippin’ game in the playoffs.
Hendo on January 24, 2008 at 1:06 PM
All things also said about Peyton, who is generally accepted as one of the top 2 or 3 QB’s in the game. Romo will be fine.
Spirit of 1776 on January 24, 2008 at 1:06 PM
Any post about football and hot chicks is automatically THE MOST IMPORTANT POST EVER.
Jessica Simpson can take my post seriously any time. *rim shot*
Enrique on January 24, 2008 at 1:08 PM
Who cares?
The majority of football fans want nothing more than to see the Patriots get beat. If the Giants should beat them, the Giants could be the new “America’s Team.”
Gregor on January 24, 2008 at 1:09 PM
a few points on this:
-romo has so many team records because staubach and aikman had 2 of the best running backs (and defenses) in nfl history and didn’t have to throw over 500 times a year. granted, MB3 is a beast and i wouldn’t want to try to tackle him, but dallas doesn’t have a running game that make teams bring 8 into the box.
-we’re hearing about romo blaming jessica for the loss from an unnamed “friend” in OK! magazine. let’s be real here.
-maybe romo dumped jessica because he had an “i’m keith hernandez” moment. “you know what? i’m tony romo. i can have any hot chick i want.”
-maybe jessica was terrible in the sack (no pun intended). no doubt she’s a 10, but maybe she sucked (again, no pun) at BJ’s, or only wanted missionary.
-and it took brett farve until his 4th full year as a starter (and 5th overall), and 3 straight playoff losses to dallas before he won a super bowl. romo just finished his *first* full year as a starter (2nd overall).
kramer840 on January 24, 2008 at 1:09 PM
Can’t stand her singing, have never been introduced to her “acting” and her family is rather creepy (qouth the father: “Hey boys! She’s got double D’s!”). That being said, if she needs a shoulder to cry on I’ve got two.
Just sayin’.
srhoades on January 24, 2008 at 1:10 PM
TheGoblinKing on January 24, 2008 at 12:24 PM
Thank you GoblinKing for making my day with that pic!
On another note, do you think if he texted her, she would have been able to read it? While being VERY easy on the eyes, she’s not the sharpest tool in the shed, guys.
Torch on January 24, 2008 at 1:13 PM
So, what did the NFC championship and the Romo-Simpson relationship have in common?
They both ended sadly when the QB couldn’t penetrate the end zone.
thank you.
wildweasel on January 24, 2008 at 1:14 PM
Think about the media coverage next year if the Cowboys get another shot. Wall to wall commentary wondering if Tony will do it again. These guys thrive on their news clippings. How’s Tony gonna handle the pressure of everyone who can read or write having an opinion on his ability to handle pressure since he flunked twice before? It’ll be more of a story than the game itself. And, so more pressure builds. What fun!
