Let me just say all these stories do not mean anything unless the public buys into them. We love to blame the media but a story only has legs if people believe it. If you read or hear a comment that you disagree how much stock do you put into it?

To me that is part of what Parcells was telling Romo, when he told him not to be a celebrity quarterback. Romo just didn't listen; there would be no problems if this vacation was after the season.

I have a problem with Romo partying down in Mexico. When there is something this big on the line and you face a "win or go home" playoff scenario, his total focus needs to be on the game.

It reminds me of when I was preparing to take the LSAT for law school. I had a two week trip booked to visit my boyfriend in Italy about a month from test date. However the closer it got to the trip, the less comfortable I was with going in light of the upcoming LSAT.

I ended cancelling the trip because I decided the LSAT was too important to blow off studying for two weeks (and I knew no studying would get done in Italy;)). The risks of blowing my LSATs and not getting into law school wasn't worth the fun I would have in Italy.

That's the mindset I wish Romo would have. Is it too much to ask for him to focus when the Super Bowl is on the line?

Personally, I think this a bad example.

Tony Romo is very familiar with the New York Giants, he has lit them up twice. He actually played in his first meaningful NFL game against them. Also, he went to Mexico on his days off. I don't know that studying any more film on the New York Giants would be that beneficial.

Now, if it were me, I would stay away from Mexico and chill with Jessica Simpson in Dallas or a location less visible.

tr1 is sorta a troll on ES, that posts threads to bait visiting Cowboys fans into an argument, hoping that they'll get banned.

:) Austin and Glenn though could have had some free time spent on them. Glenn to get the chemistry back. Austin, well :) practice not dropping balls. :D

I love BP and was glad he was here however this is Wade Phillips team and he has this team futher along than BP ever did so Wade must have a good feeling about his player and has no problem with Romo and Witten going to Mexico during their off days. We did things BP way what did that get us? Having a team who may be less uptight than we have had before may be that is just what the doctor ordered I guess we will see this weekend. Should Dallas win then the media can go to hell with there complaints.

I have to somewhat disagree with this.

I tuned into the Post Game Show on The Ticket after the Eagles game and alot of the fans were already blaming Jessica Simpson.

The media blitz hadn't even began and the fans were stating their displeasure with Jessica Simpson being at the game.

Like Iceberg said, they are always looking for a boogeyman. The fans are going to blame Jessica Simpson no matter what the media says.

Heck, I bet the situation is vice versa, where the media is being driven by the public at large.


Well there were many fans that were already uncomfortable with Jessica being there because of Underwood last year. So she set herself kind of up for it. :D

I think that is a good point. Maybe it is a little of both. the Media at times playing off the fans and sometimes the fans buying into everything the media says.

Okay :) This is the last post before I have to run. I like Wade and think that he is a good coach and deserves credit for the 13-3. However, I don't think he is perfect. I prefer a tough Jimmy Johnson type of coach, and some of that is Wade makes me uncomfortable, reminds me of Berry Switzer. So you pointing out that Wade said it was okay, really is proving anything to me, because that's an aspect of his personality I would like changed. I prefer the BP advice of not being a celebrity quarterback. :) BP knows a bit more about being a good Head coach than Wade does, due to experience, IMO. His play calling sucks these days though. :D

Hopefully some of those fans have attended game that we have lost and will consider themselves the bad luck and will not go to the game. :laugh2: Bob Lilly was in the box as well maybe he was the back luck for the eagle’s game. :laugh2: Sorry but it just sounds like voodoo BS. Maybe if Jessica goes to the game but sacrifices a chicken in the parking lot to ward off evil then can she go inside? :laugh2:

For the last month, Romo hasn't played like he's familiar with much of anything. His playing as of late might be acceptable to you, but it sure hasn't been acceptable to me.

If he had ended the season on an upswing then I might cut him some slack but. But quite honestly, I haven't been impressed for quite a while. The Romo who started this season is not the Romo of late.

Well, there could be alot of reasons for that.

1) Injury
2) Losing his best receiver
3) Trying to become familiar with new receivers
4) Father's illness

Also, I kind wish people would stop saying the Cowboys have not played well since Green Bay. The Cowboys looked pretty good against the Carolina Panthers. We lost T.O. right before the halfway mark and were up 14 Points right after he got injured and I believe we did rush for 99 or so yards in the 1st Half of that game.

Now, I don't know if sticking around Valley Ranch a couple of days instead of going to Mexico is going to help all that much, but I do agree that it certainly wasn't gonna hurt either.

That's the mindset I wish Romo would have. Is it too much to ask for him to focus when the Super Bowl is on the line?

in the end i suppose we wish *all* people think, reacted, and did the things we do for the reasons we already understand. ours. what could he have done - stayed home and spent hours upon hours focused on (2) teams? read the forums to see how people feel about him personally? watch "north dallas 40" over and over and over again and necessary roughness only once?

did you have your picture taken the entire time you were studying? was most of the free world talking about you and your girlfriend? were people judging your every move w/o walking a step in your shoes? did your picture show up all over the place and your name on hate and love sites all over?

i wish a lot of people had a mindset like mine - the world would be an easier place. but sometimes you do need to get away in order to find yourself again.

if not acceptable, what are your options to fix this, then? as fans we're pretty limited in how we can effect the game so something being "not acceptable" - other than complain, what can you do?

Jessica Simpson to give Dallas Cowboys game a miss


Dallas Cowboys’ fans can breathe easy - Jessica Simpson is giving their vital Play Off game this weekend a miss.​


The Texas songbird came under a barrage of criticism after she watched the team lose badly to the Philadelphia Eagles earlier this season.​


Her current boyfriend, Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo, had his worst game for the team as Simpson sat in the stands.​


But her representatives have calmed fears that the singer would again jinx the high-flying Cowboys against the New York Giants.​


“She is not attending. She’s working on a new album,” her publicist Cindy Berger said. “She will not be there, but she’ll be watching on TV and cheering Romo on.”​

Did it really matter if she was there or not? does she play for the dallas cowboys, umm don't think so!! i think people that balmmed her for the loss are Idiots plain N simple...

In Jessica's case, sacrafice a chicken of the sea in the parking lot. :laugh1:

If that is what it take to get people to back off then go for it. :laugh2: Actually those making a big issue of it seem to be the ones acting blond.

Realistically, I don't think it stops until Tony Romo wins big in the Playoffs and therefore prove that she wasn't a distraction :rolleyes:.

It won't stop then. This is what their jobs are all about. They appear to pattern their writing after the National Inquirer.

Romo has been criticised for wearing his cap backwards, for smiling, for scrambling and not staying in the pocket, for staying in the pocket and not scrambling, for dating, for losing, for winning but not with a large enough margin, etc., etc., The sports media, by and large, turn over every rock to find something they can magnify and stir the pot. If they can't find it, then they create it. Everybody needs to chill out and ignore them. Romo should also.

I agree. I also think Romo does not take this stuff to heart.
