alone in my principles….

Excuse me???

I can’t seem to get anyone to agree definitively so far,
but I’m still arguing my case and haven’t lost yet:
 
    I think girlfriends jinx Tony Romo.

If you will recall, last year’s second game against the rival Eagles,
what should have been a blow-out for all our Cinderella-team advancements,
turned out to be a crushing disappointment as we flung our way to the end of the regular season
and lost to them  23-7.

And guess who was in the stands watching Tony play–
none other than his new friend Carrie Underwood!
(Who became later something of a girlfriend.)
He had a horrible game.  In fact, no one had ever seen him play so poorly. 
I was sure it had something to do with the blond distraction in the box.
I wanted so badly to march up to Dallas and box his ears.
But everybody deserves a second chance, right?

Apparently he hadn’t had enough of being humiliated in front of his women.

This year, it was Jessica Simpson.
And whether or not the rumors are true about Thanksgiving dinners with each others
families and picking out engagement rings with sisters…she was there.
Wearing his jersey number, dancing like…a word I won’t say (at least her clothing covered her),
and waving coyly to “someone” on the sidelines.
And he had the worst game of his career.

DUDE!
How do you not see the pattern??
Forget the injuries, the dropped passes, the thumb issue.
This guy could not get in his groove!
He was HORRIBLE! 
(Forget not that I speak of my own favorite.)
What, did she hurt him in a game of thumb-wars or something?

Last year on Christmas day he was 14 of 29 for 142 yards.
Today he was a wretched 13 of 36, for a few more yards but no TDs.
I don’t even want to guess what his passer rating is after this game.

All I can say is, he needs to drop the women until after the season.
I know for some guys, their woman is what they fight for, whether it be on the field,
in the office, or whatever. That relationship gives them motivation.
This suggestion was made to me last week after the crazy win over the Lions.
Well…either it doesn’t work that way for him, or she ain’t the right one.

Somebody please knock some sense into this guy!!!

  1. it really wasn’t even a fun game to watch…  just painful…  and that was watching most of the 1st quarter and the last half…  I couldn’t bear to watch the second half, but then curiosity got the better of me….

  2. Some men don’t handle certain types of pressure very well.  My personal opinion is that Romo tends to play poorly in the first half and get better as the game goes on.  You can’t do that if you can’t stop thinking about the mistakes you’ve already made, and sometimes it can be hard to forget your mistakes when you are thinking about someone you like watching you play poorly.  He looked beaten down at the end of the first half and they were barely behind in the game at that point.  They have played many games from behind and you rarely see him like that, I don’t think it is a coincidence that she was there and his attitude was terrible.

  3. Option 1: I happen to be blessed with skills that allow me to do things no other mortal man can do! Option 2: If you don’t have a xanga there is an option to post as “anonymous”… One or both of these options may be true, I’ll let you decide which! *GRIN*

  4. It’s a tough break for Romo.  I like the Cowboys most of the season.  It looks like the Eagles did knock some sense into him though, to the tune of 3 sacks and 3 interceptions.  Might want to tell Roy Williams to stop trying to break all the star Eagles players’ ankles by using the horse collar tackle attack of doom.
    Losses like those are kind of a reality check for a lot of teams (unless you’re the Patriots and then you just win them anyway).  It lets them realize that they still have areas to improve on and allows them to make adjustments.  I think Romo and the Cowboys will rebound after this loss and play strong in the post season…  provided Jessica Simpson watches from her couch at home. =D

  5. Hey, I can`t beleive They lost either, I was so mad, but my Titans won and my boy vince had 191 yards and 2 TD,  And might I add Vince Young had a better day than Tom Brady (Since Josh likes looking at statictics)  Tom Brady had 140 and 1 int. So I am pretty happy! idk if we will make it to the playoffs but we will see!!! Hopefully clevland will lose D:- (Sorry Chris) I ahve tp agrre Jessica needs to stay home!!!! Hopefully she will. ttyl Lauren
    P.S Cowboys Titans ALL THE WAY
