In a dogged piece of reporting, the Dallas Morning News has examined all the evidence, interviewed anonymous sources, and confirmed a shocking development: Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo has broken up with girlfriend Jessica Simpson.The newspaper reports:
But after taking several oaths not to divulge my sources, two people close to Tony and Jess have told me that the glam couple is over, splitsville, kaput, put a fork in it.So it appears that the couple whose on-again, off-again relationship has been blamed for the Cowboys' playoff loss to the New York Giants is off again.
For his part, Romo always refuses to discuss his personal life. And Simpson's representatives have denied the rumors of a breakup. But the Dallas Morning News is devoting some serious resources to this story, and they say it's over. So, ladies, Romo is available.

5. She did say that Romo gave her confidence. She needs to provide her own confidence to keep a man.

7. He was looking for lady that knew Dick Cheney was VP of the US and also what "Chicken of Sea" really is.. What a bimbo..Lets play some football now and forget all the drama which comes when you date a "airhead".. he played you like a guitar !!!!

9. Beautiful blondes need to stay away from Tony Romo. Both Carrie Underwood and Jessica Simpson are too talented and classy to have jumped under the wheels of "that" bus. Being alone and successful is better than being in a relationship with a womanizer. That goes for Jennifer Aniston and that cretin, John Mayer, too.

10. I sure hope this ain't true. I loved when he blew the games cuz of her.

11. Its easy to be happy in a relationship when all you do is spend your time together in fabulous vacation places frolicking about,eating great meals, nothing to do but hang out,have sex and relax..when these "celeb" types have to face reality (not at some fabulous vacation spot) and are forced to actually spend time together on a day to day basis they fizzle out 99.9 percent of the time.this is why Mayerston have no chance as do most of these celeb/celeb hookups

12. Tony Romo likes to run with the beautiful people but he is a Dork in designer jeans. Maybe he could date Jennifer Anniston. She is so far over the hill that she could use a dork like him. They'd make the perfect couple but then T.O. would be odd ball out!

17. How is this sports news?

18. Why is Tony any different from any other QB? He dates beauitiful women. I don't think it would matter who he is with. Someone will always find him in the wrong. If people would leave him alone, and leave him out of their hate group they would be surprised. What about Fave? He is married and cried like a baby!! What about the other single or married QB? He is following in Troy Aikman's footsteps. Troy was in his his same shoes before he retired. If you have help from your team mates and FANS you can do your job!!

19. Why is it that so many complain about Tony Romo as a
QB? How many have played as well as he in their first
year as a starter? Farve? Brady? Mannings? No!
So lets wait until he has as many years under his belt before we judge him. I think he is going to do
just fine for the Cowboys. Remember, he only has one
full year as a starter. 13-3, pretty good I think.

20. I really thought Romo had more class for a 3rd sting-rated QB but I guess he and the Bimbo have more in common that we know. She has been a loser for some time and acknowledged she didn't want Tony to drop her as it would hurt her image. What the hell image is she taking about - "Chicken of the Sea." Romo is no better - He's doing his thinking with the wrong head.... They are a cancer together.
