Raiders impress in Pre Season debut

Joshua Lobdell — Fri, 14 Aug 2009 17:14:09 +0000

Jamarcus Russell may just be the man who can resurrect the Raiders

This time of year we have to preface everything said with the fact that this is merely the pre-season. With that being said the pre-season game last night between the Dallas Cowboys andthe Oakland Raiders may have taught us a few things about the 2009 NFL regular season.

The Raiders looked pretty good, however most of their scoring came against the Cowboys 2nd defensive unit, and with backup QB Bruce Gradkowski. However, Bruce was able to lead the team to three TD’s while in the game. This seems to indicate that Raiders offense will be able to move the ball.

This means that Russell, entering his third NFL season, will have to live up to his status as a former overall number one pick in the NFL draft. He appears now that he has the weapons around him, and that this will be a make or break season for the young QB.

On the other hand, it looks like the Dallas Cowboys will be far better off post Terrell Ownes than they were with him. It seems that the Dallas offense will now be able to distribute balls to all of their receivers while relying on RB’s Marion Barber, and Felix Jones to keep drives alive.

Dallas QB, Tony Romo, has a couple of good receivers in WR Roy Williams, and TE Jason Whitten. At this point Dallas looks like one of the teams to beat in the NFC East.

Jessica Simpson’s father has been blamed for ruining her romance with Tony Romo

Bang — Wed, 15 Jul 2009 10:00:03 +0000

American football star Tony Romo – who split from Jessica Simpson last week – reportedly became increasingly frustrated with Joe Simpson’s involvement in his daughter’s life.

FOX News reports: “Joe’s meddling ways most likely took its toll on the relationship, which is the reason why they split the first time 14 months ago. Joe promised he’d take a step back when the couple reunited but he was still too involved. At one point Joe was even giving Tony football advice which doesn’t go down well.”

Tony, who dumped Jessica the day before her 29th birthday, is believed to have been unhappy in the relationship for some time. A source said: “It was a long time coming, he hasn’t really been into her and the relationship for awhile, but stayed together because he didn’t want to look like a jerk for not having a better reason to break it off. She is trying to save face by saying that it’s because of their busy schedules.”

In March, it was alleged Joe – who is also Jessica’s manager – was jealous of Tony and believed he was having a negative influence on her career. A source said: “Joe now feels that Tony has become too much of a distraction for Jessica. Any free time she has, Jessica wants to spend with Tony. But rather than blaming his daughter’s work ethic, Joe points the finger at Tony.”

The pair began dating in November 2007. Jessica and Tony first met in 2006, when American football fan Joe introduced them.

Jessica Simpson & Tony Romo Split Up

Paul Short — Mon, 13 Jul 2009 20:12:06 +0000

Jessica Simpson and Tony Romo have ended their somewhat rocky relationship.

Sources told People magazine that Tony Romo and Jessica Simpson ended their relationship the day before Jessica’s 29th birthday on Friday. Tony was then seen out having a good time at Hollywood hotspot MyHouse Friday night with friends.

“He had quite a few girls stop by his dance floor table. Romo was sipping Grey Goose and having a fun time with the boys.”

Jessica is reportedly not taking the split very well. The unnamed source says:

“She loves Tony. But it’s been difficult lately. He’s busy with his career and she’s getting ready to shoot her show. They decided to part ways.”

On the night before her birthday? Come on, that’s just cruel.

Oldie-but-Goody: I’m Rooting for Jessica, Not Carrie Underwood

Meieli Sawyer — Sat, 06 Sep 2008 22:15:03 +0000

In this supposed fight between Carrie Underwood and Jessica Simpson, I’m going to have to side with Jessica. While the whole “Tony-Romo-is-my-future-baby’s-daddy” is verging on super-gross, it doesn’t mean that a jealous ex should be called you FAT. OK! reports that Carrie Underwood might be paying extra attention to her rival Jessica:

“She finds Jessica’s love of putting her life on display pretty desperate. She laughed at the People cover, because it’s the same one Jess did about John Mayer — same smile, same look, except she’s a little fatter.”

Even though a source close to Carrie said this, so we have no way of knowing if it’s true, I’ve got my eyebrows raised. Jessica’s music sucks enough with the move to country; do we really need to be critiquing the bod as well? She’s nesting!

I didn’t expect to side with Jessica, trust me, but no girl deserves this b*tchiness (if it’s true).

Oldie-But-Goody: Jessica Simpson Goes TMI Again

Meieli Sawyer — Sat, 30 Aug 2008 21:21:25 +0000

Think that Jessica Simpson overshared as she professed her undying love for Tony Romo? That People interview’s nothing when we look at her most recent concert whoopsie: the Niagra Falls Review reports that her concert at the Avalon unraveled into her talking about being gassy:

“Unlike her tour opener in Wisconsin, where she was booed opening for Sara Evans, this crowd was here only for her. And they paid $70 a ticket for the privilege. Armed with that confidence, Simpson opened up about God, divorce and, um, flatulence. ‘I do pass gas a lot,’ she said. ‘I guarantee it smells like roses.’”

This is the sign of someone who thinks they’re too cute. Erm, not so much.

Jessica Simpson Still Wants Attention, Tony Romo’s Love

Meieli Sawyer — Thu, 28 Aug 2008 20:11:37 +0000

After all these years being prepped for life in the spotlight, Jessica Simpson just can’t get it into her head that she shouldn’t talk about relationships to the general public. Did she learn nothing from Newlyweds? Is she casting a shadow of bad luck over her relationship with Tony Romo by blabbing? Probably. The highlights, hit-by-hit:

1. “‘I just told him today, ‘You’re the love of my life.’ I don’t really ever say that to anybody.’” (Ouch.)

2. “‘I don’t want anybody that’s been in my life [before] in my life anymore. I don’t even want them to have any way of contacting me.’” (She wants Tony to do the same, of course. She’s just not admitting it.)

3. “‘I’m not a jealous girlfriend.’” (Lies, all lies.)

4. “”I just love, so I don’t understand when people can’t do exactly what I do.’” (What does that even mean, Jessica?)

I hope that all this love-professing won’t come back to haunt her, like this outfit will.

Jessica Simpson: Bad at Relationships, Good at Other Stuff

Meieli Sawyer — Thu, 05 Jun 2008 01:22:34 +0000

“Other stuff” being her new country music career– get your minds out of the gutters! Jessica Simpson must be consoled since her on-off relationship with Tony Romo is pretty shaky, most likely thanks to none other than Papa Joe.

Besides that, it looks like Jessica has finally found her niche: her single “Come on Over” debuted at number 41 on Billboard country singles charts. That makes Jessica the highest charting debut solo artist of all time, beating out Brad Cotter and Miranda Lambert who had debuted at 42. I’m impressed, and so is Jessica:

I got chills and butterflies in my stomach. It felt like the first time I heard myself on the radio when I was 19. Country is where my heart is. It’s refreshing to share something that feels so close to home. I am so honored to become a part of the country community.

Yay! That’s something to take her mind off of the horrific managing rumors about her dad.

Tony and Jessica Are Still Together. . . Says Papa Joe

Meieli Sawyer — Mon, 19 May 2008 17:28:40 +0000

Papa Joe Simpson is a meddler extraordinaire, I’d say. We were all wondering whether Jessica Simpson and her beau Tony Tony were on or off, and to be honest, it was looking pretty bad for the couple. According to rumors, Jessica’s devastated about her ex John Mayer being in loooove with Jennifer Aniston and she’s kind of a jealous b*tch to top it off. Plus, she supposedly went on a bit of a bender, and that’s usually breakup-fueled.

But (surprise!) a suspicious source has come to the rescue, telling People that Jessica and Tony were thisclose at her sister’s wedding this weekend. The “insider” spilled that “They were kissing and holding hands throughout the night. He was very sweet to her. They were very much a couple.”

How much do you want to bet that the “source” is good ol’ Papa Joe? I say it’s all for keeping up appearances. Jessica wouldn’t want to be alone at her possibly-cuter sister’s wedding, now would she? She’s already the divorcee, so being the singleton just adds insult to injury.
