Rumors

By Ryan, November 25, 2006

Tony Romo and Jessica Simpson? Together? For real?

I’m now just another person to mention this hot new rumor on the Internet. As of the time of this post, I view Tony Romo as someone that is not a show-off and will not let all the extra attention go to his head. But, during the Cowboys’ win over Tampa Bay on Thanksgiving,* Joe Buck and Troy Aikman (FOX’s commentators for that game) agreed that Romo deserves someone like Jessica Simpson.

Yeah, another celebrity relationship. Anyone who watches half of the 20-minutes-per-week of entertainment news I watch each week knows what happens to celebrity couples. Fall down go BOOM. My question is whether or not Tony will see this and make the right choice.

Breakdown:
Pros Cons
YES! They date The commentators have more to “commentate” on, maybe a little more inspiration for our QB Obviously they won’t last ’til death... the imminent breakup will lead to a depressed version of my new favorite player
NO! They don’t Nothing new to get to his head Lots more pressure from media, who already isn’t cutting him any slack

This is his first real moral test since becoming the Cowboys’ new go-to guy. What I think is that his decision here will determine whether or not he is a good role model. He takes this potential girlfriend, he’s just another football superstar with a celeb girlfriend. He turns her down, the country knows that he’s not some shallow guy that takes the first fake-boobed* eye candy that comes his way, but rather a man of substance who makes good choices under pressure.

Personally? I think that if it comes down to him making the decision, he’ll do the honorable thing and say no. If he can make good under-pressure choices on the fly in a football game, I trust him to do so in life.

Oh, and by the way, wanna know what started this rumor?

Tony Romo buying tickets to the Cowboys-Cardinals game for Jessica’s dad.

Yeah. That's weak.
