So how did the four quarterbacks of the four NFL playoff teams that got the first-round byes spend their weeks off? I'm guessing Tom Brady of the Patriots spent some quality time with Gisele Bundchen, Peyton Manning of the Colts spent 168 hours studying tape and Brett Favre of the Packers rode his tractor. And as for Tony Romo? He took a trip to Mexico with Jessica Simpson. And the paparazzi were there with him. From FLYNET ONLINE via The Big Lead:
Romo may need a big game this weekend more than any other NFL player. If he comes up small and the Cowboys lose, he may still be a star with the People Magazine crowd, but he'll be known to football fans as a playoff choker who cares more about being a celebrity than being a quarterback.Check out Jessica Simpson and Tony Romo vacationing in Mexico yesterday along with some of Romo's fellow football players and Jessica's parents, Joe and Tina. When the two lovers arrived, Jessica couldn't keep her hands off of the quarterback's a--. Better keep the PDA on the low near the parents Jessica! Don't forget about your wholesome upbringing!

1. What a joke. I really thought this Dallas Quarterback had a lot more class than this.

3. The Cowboys did not even know who they were playing yet, and besides they have played and beated the Giants already. I would be willing to bet that he has some films with him of both teams. Hopefully, finally having a girlfriend will make him play better. There is only so much you can do to prepare for the Giants.

4. I am disappointed in Romo and the Cowboys. As a new fan, I was excited because they would make the Super Bowl but their chances have gone down the drain because they are a bunch of party boys. What a shame.

5. Why is it classless to take a vacation. It's a shame how people make quick judgments without really knowing the true situation. Tony is a professional athlete he will be ready. This was a vacation well earned and I am sure he brought his work with him. To Cathys comment"As a new fan." this just shows me that the band wagoners are in full effect. What a joke.

6. Why should Romo be criticized for not preparing for his job? Michael David Smith gets away with it every single day. People who live in glass houses shouldn't be throwing stones.

7. ecuse me...Who said THEY were going to the Super Bowl? maybe as guests...and the only reason she had her parents along was for show. The sad thing is all the publicity for a girl with a pretty face and fake body...and her parents know that!....and a pretty good QB who's loving the press now but could probably use some privacy....don't worry, after your next loss, you'll be able to get back to sub-normal conditions.

8. I guess the outcome this week will tell the tale of whether it was a wise choice or not? Frankly out of all the girls in America, he could do better than Simpson...

9. All I have to say is Band Wagon fans, who needs 'em? Oh yeah, the Seahawks do!

10. Give the guy a break. I'm not a Cowboy fan, but you people who are questioning his work ethic and commitment to his team do not know anything about him. That man earned that vacation, and, as someone employed as a sport's professional, I'm sure that time off will be good for him. He'll be ready.

11. Leave Tony Romo alone! If he wants to take a vacation with his girlfriend, why do you all care? get a life.

12. Tony is one lucky SOB. Now I know why he has the grin. He is playing for the best team in the NFC, has a beautiful gf.
Everything is great except having her parents along.

13. I just read this article, and frankly, being a die-hard Cowboys fan, I think I'm gonna be sick. The biggest game the Cowboys will play to this point, and Tony is too worried about porking Jessica freaking Simpson. Might as well get my gear ready to pack up for the year. I knew something like this was gonna happen....first everybody interviewing our coaches and now idiot blondes taking our qb's mind off the game....what next?!?!?

14. What a MOron !!!

15. Do I see a repeat of last years playoff game? I hope so!!!!! Romo should get his head into the game, but thats okay, I'm a Green Bay fan, and just recently a Jessica Simpson fan!!!

16. Get off Tony Romo's back. For God's sakes, he can't be hanging out with Jessica for any 'intellectual'
reason. It's his life!! Tom Brady has Giselle, and it appears she just makes him a better football player.
Dallass is Dallas - Tony is jsut a horny guy. That's it. Don't criticize him for being a Guy.

17. The Dallas Convicts ain't going to the Super Bowl whether he porks that pig face or not

18. It stated in the article, "along with some of Romo's fellow football players", but it will be made a bigger deal because the article mentions Jessica Simpson, who did the other players bring? I am a Eagles fan and believe me do not want the Cowboys to win, but give it a break will ya?

19. I AM A HUGE COWBOYS FAN & A HUGE ROME FAN, COME ON NOW. I WOULD HAVE SPENT THE WEEKEND STUDYING MY OPPONENTS, AND THEN THIS WEEK I WOULD HAVE STUDIED THE TEAM I WAS GOING TO BE PLAYING. I SURE HOPE HIS WEEKEND WENT WELL AND HE IS RELAXED SO HE AND THE COWBOYS CAN KICK SOME NY BUTT.
