Pop star Jessica Simpson is set to join her boyfriend Tony Romo on the football field. She has signed on to star alongside him in a new sports show.
Simpson was criticized for supporting the Dallas Cowboys quarterback from the stands last year when her attendance coincided with a losing streak.
But the negative press hasn't put her off agreeing to appear in an episode of Hard Knocks, a series that shows fans the inner-workings of football camps.
And HBO network boss Ross Greenburg insists the focus of the program will remain the same, despite its celebrity line-up.

He says, "I'm telling you, we are going to attack this Hard Knocks the same way we have attacked all of the other Hard Knocks. We're not going to make this an E! half-hour entertainment show on Tony Romo and Jessica Simpson."
Simpson's episode is set to air on Wednesday.

what is this?

she is going to be on hard knocks?

Romo himself requested to be mostly left alone by the cameras, he said he was too busy this camp for interviews.

this seems like hear-say.

I wonder if Joe Simpson has anything to do with this???

I'm beginning to think the OP is Jessica Simpson herself.

She can't sign on if Jerry & Tony don't want her there & didn't Mosley just say he overheard Jerry saying he had every intention on using the couple as part of the draw?

I have to wonder if it is not Joe.:laugh2:

Seems like about 90% of the posts from this person are about romo/jessica.

So maybe it is Joe.

Hard Knocks tease

Just had a quick chat with HBO Sports boss Ross Greenburg. This guy is very excited about the debut show on Wednesday night of Hard Knocks, which expects to be the best season yet of the series. He gave me a few show teasers including a behind-the-scenes look at the Terry Glenn release.

He said they caught up with Glenn when things unfolded. Also, don't expect any Jessica Simpson.

"Not yet," Greenburg said. "She hasn't shown up."

He said she has not been at the Residence Inn complex in Oxnard and they are not seeking her out for footage. He says they won't shoot Jessica unless she comes to practice or the facility.

The NFL Films crew is pouring through 600 hours of video for the one-hour show. No watching party is planned here for the players but HBO is in every room.

The Glass Cactus in Grapevine is hosting a Hard Knocks watching party Wednesday night.

Woodsy Girl, have I told you "your my favorite">?
Thanks

It would be nice if they put out a DVD set of Hard Knocks with hours and hours of extra footage.

What stinks about Hard Knocks is that there are only a handful of episodes. It is WAY to short.

So it would be nice to see a DVD set with the regular episodes and then some extra DVDs or parts where they break it down with players or other sections.

I have that DVD already, and let me tell you, there's very little actual football in....... oh, wait!... Sorry, it's "ers", my bad!

Thats all it is folks, just a tease for ratings. Tony Romo has made it a point not to talk about Simpson at all this training camp. I believe they have discussed her not showing and I think its a very smart move.
