No sooner has Jessica Simpson been tossed over the side for ballast than Tony Romo has, apparently, snagged a new girlfriend. Here’s Natalie Smith (left), from Chicago, whom we assume will NEVER be seen wearing a pink Romo replica Cowboys jersey at Cowboys Stadium.
THE DIRTY reports, because that’s what they do, that Smith went to Eastern Illinois with Romo, where her father is the athletic director. OK. Read more…
• Dallas Cowboys fans finally have their prayers answered: Tony Romo has called it quits with Jessica Simpson.
• Chris Cooley doesn’t like to beat a dead horse - he prefers to blow it up instead.
• Erin Andrews seems to appear a bit thin lately. Still, she knows how to look good in a shredded dress.
• Gina Carano’s ex claims he has a sex tape of the MMA star in “action“.
• Former boxer Arturo Gatti found dead, supposedly killed by his wife.
• During a recent visit to Houston’s Minute Maid Park, a married MLB player supposedly tried to ask out a media intern for some post-game fun.
Say it ain’t so, Junction Jack!
• The NFL is trying to spread its pigskin platitudes throughout China with - what else? - a reality TV show.
• Dana White lectures big UFC bruiser Brock Lesnar on how to behave properly with the press. Huh, how about that.
• But the UFC prez shouldn’t have such worries if Shaq joins his ranks. Unless Kobe is also on the card.
• The Chicago Cubs are considering filing for bankruptcy. Wouldn’t it be great to see Mark Cuban snag the Cubs from bankruptcy court?
Gee whiz, has it been two years already since America’s (least) Favorite Couple, Tony Romo and Jessica Simpson, first charmed the nation/horrified Cowboys fans with their whimsical romantic entanglements? Yes, sadly, it just about has.
Since that time, Simpson has gone from semi-relevant pop starlet to plumped-up wannabe country singer, but Romo seemed committed through it all. He put up with her vapid blank stares in the stands, her embarrassing public comments about their relationship, and her withering career prospects. But as it turns out, even Tony Romo has a breaking point. That’s right, huge NFL news today, folks - Tony and Jessica are no more.
One of the most underrated stories this baseball season is the dominance of Kansas City Royals pitcher Zack Greinke. Sure, it was the subject of a great JoePo SPORTS ILLUSTRATED cover piece so it’s not exactly a story that’s been ignored. That said, you have to admit that if Greinke-Dink was pitching in a major media market, this kid would be one of ESPN’s daily top stories. Between his pitching dominance and his unique behavior and backstory, his is a story that has media darling written all over it. But even here at SbB, a site whose patriarch who used to work Royals broadcasts, Greinke hasn’t been a huge story.
That’s gotta change. Greinke deserves to be a superstar, and we’re not even talking about baseball. If his arm ever goes out, the kid’s got a great future in stand-up comedy. The blog SHAN.BIZ has compiled a list of the greatest Greinke quotes so far (he’s only 25!) and lemme tell ya, folks, Yogi Berra’s got nothing on Zack Greinke.
When it comes to being a rookie quarterback in the NFL, there are always a lot of questions about whether you’re going to make it in the league. For every Peyton Manning that comes a long, there are a hundred Ryan Leafs, so the odds of success are pretty stacked against you. There’s also the pressure of the fact that when you’re drafted in the first round you’re generally seen as a franchise savior.
Of course, being the quarterback also has its advantages. Particularly the fact that good-looking women always want to go out with you. Tom Brady has Gisele Bundchen, Tony Romo has Jessica Simpson, and now even though he hasn’t played a single snap in the NFL, Mark Sanchez has already landed his first supermodel. Earlier this week, we went over Sanchez’s recent photo shoot for GQ with model Hilary Rhoda, and it turns out he got to bring home more than the clothes he wore in the shoot.
Sanchez and Rhoda are now dating.
• Tryouts were held for the Lingerie Football League’s Miami Caliente, and some of the resulting scenes were, dare I say, en fuego:
• Mark Cuban uses his blog to apologize to Kenyon Martin’s mom. But if you think the Mavs-Nuggets rivalry has cooled off, just ask LaLa Vasquez.
• The Dodgers know what women want - their own online radio broadcast!
• The Blackhawks scalp the Canucks, while the Caps force a Game 7.
• A slimmer Jessica Simpson sings at Sea World, much to PETA’s chargin.
Last time we saw Jessica Simpson hit the stage, the gal pal of Tony Romo could have passed for one of the Cowboys QB’s offensive linemen. So when she was set to perform at Sea World in San Antonio last weekend, would the audience have trouble telling her apart from Shamu?
(Jessica before at the chili cookoff [left], and recently at her Sea World show [right]. Well, fish is healthier than chili.)
Not really, as Simpson showed up for the Bud & BBQ country concert series much svelter than before. And it’s nice to see her rocking the Daisy Dukes again - likely as a homage to her scene-stealing performance in “The Dukes of Hazzard” film.
While her fans may have been pleased to have less of Jess to love, not everyone was ecstatic with her Sea World shindig. Enter PETA.
(More pics of Simpson’s Sea World show after the jump.)
