A Bit on Football

I'm not making any predictions, but I will note that the top four teams were a combined 55-9 this season. If you throw out games against each other and the meaningless last week of the season, the Patriots, Colts, Cowboys, and Packers lost a total of four games - the Packers twice to the Bears, the Cowboys once to the Eagles I believe, and the Colts to the Chargers because their quarterback and kicker happened to have the worst days of their career at the same time.

If the Cowboys lose to the Giants tomorrow, the only possible reason is because Tony Romo is dating a Jessica Simpson. You see, he's the first-ever high-profile athlete to ever be in love with a gorgeous woman, so of course it MUST be distracting him and tarnishing his performance. During the Eagles game, for instance, Fox cameras often cut to Simpson in the press box, and this caused Tony Romo to stink on the field. Maybe when he on the sidelines he was watching the Fox telecast, saw his girlfriend on screen, and let his mind wander. And of course, when his coach tells the team to take a few days off and not worry about football, Romo was completely unprofessional to take that literally.

You see, Romo isn't very committed to football or to winning. He went from undrafted free agent to elite NFL quarterback - the hardest job in sports - because, uh, he's a slacker?
