COWBOYS TELL TONY ROMO TO “COOL IT” WITH SIMPSON: Bill Zwecker of the CHICAGO SUN-TIMES reports today that “(Tony) Romo has been told to put his romantic life on the back burner at this critical juncture near the end of the regular NFL season. I also understand that at least one team official has suggested to (Jessica) Simpson that it would ‘be in Tony’s best interest,’ if the couple cooled it for a few weeks.”

“Simpson, however, is laughing it all off, claiming she is just as anxious as other Cowboys fans to see her guy lead the team to the 50th Super Bowl championship. Not surprisingly, Jessica’s all-controlling dad, Joe Simpson, expressed to the Cowboys crew sentiments similar to his daughter’s but only, uh, in a bit more colorful language.”

Knowing Jerry Jones’ obssession with publicity, we find this news a little hard to believe. If it is true, we’re guessing Jones just wants a little opening to get his own piece of that “DD” action.
