Free PR Advice for Tony Romo

 

If Tony has a publicist and you know who it is, please forward this post to them.  Tony needs to learn how to deal with the Jessica Simpson saga.  Instead of remaining quiet and aloof about the subject embrace it.  Providing the two are very close and still going strong, which it sounds like they are, Tony needs to find a message that will get everyone off his back.

The biggest fear Cowboys fans have is that Jessica Simpson is a “distraction.”  To counter those fears Tony needs to come clean and say this:

“I am deeply in love with Jessica and she is a positive force in my life.  Not only do I feel happy around her, but she is a calming supportive voice.  When I am around her I feel at ease.  I no longer have a desire to go out and party all night long, I would rather spend an evening at home with her.  She has an amazing way of keeping me focused.”

That takes all the ammunition away from critics.  Plus, when you are trying to hide something, people always perceive a problem.  Try it Tony, you may find all the people that interview you will then be totally disarmed and even happy for you.

Tony Romo Not Happy With Me

First off let me say I have always been a Tony Romo fan.  He seems like a genuinely nice guy and a grounded individual.  But if he wants to be a multi-million dollar quarterback in the NFL, he has to take the good with the bad.  Apparently he doesn’t like being asked about his relationship with the lovely Jessica Simpson.

I did a one on one interview with Tony on Sports Extra last Sunday and he seemed to be grumpy about having to do a series of interviews with reporters around the country.  And when I asked, nicely, I may add, about Jessica he seemed to get annoyed.  Tony needs to realize the majority of viewers, not sports fans, want to know about Jessica.  And the sports fans simply want to know if she is a distraction.  He certinly has a right to date whoever he wants.  Cowboy fans also have a right to hope, his girlfriend is not a “distraction.”

Tony needs to learn how to just deal with it.  He is a “celebrity” quarterback, whether he likes it or not.  I’m sorry for asking, but when you do an interview with Tony, it is the one question that has to be asked.  If you don’t ask it, the reporter looks like an idiot.

Later, I offer up my public relations advice for Tony and how to deal with the Simpson Saga.

Jessica Simpson Will Be at the Cowboys Games!

Brace yourselves superstitious Cowboys fans!  Jessica Simpson is telling the San Francisco Chronicle she will be at the Cowboys games no matter what kind of hostile reception she receives.

Simpson and Cowboys star quarterback Tony Romo have been dating for 7 months now and Jessica Claims the two are still going strong.  Will she be a jinx this year?  (I personally don’t think she ever was a jinx, a distraction maybe.)  Who knows, I can tell you, the first game that Tony plays like a mope, the lovely singer will be the first one blamed for her honey’s poor performance.  Silly, but true!

Tony Romo Wants Carrie Underwood Back?

…. Maybe so, if you believe Jessica Simpson.  Reports are now surfacing that Jessica can get insanely jealous by Tony’s constant communication via, emails and text messages with his ex-girlfriend, Carrie Underwood.

MSNBC quotes a friend of Jessica’s who claims Jessica asked Tony to stop all communication with Carrie Underwood.  Truth is, I can’t blame her.  I wouldn’t be happy if my wife was emailing and texting one of her old boyfriends, especially if he was a millionaire entertainer!

Tony doesn’t need the money, but we are getting close to training camp where he doesn’t need all the distractions either.  Why can’t he just find a nice girl from Garland!

Terrell Owens Now on the “Watch List”

Terrell Owens has been quiet as a church mouse this summer.  No controversy, no outrageous claims, no trouble making, no nothing.  That is until he missed a very important phone call, from the NFL. 

How did he miss that call?

Maybe T.O. was at Yoga class with the phone turned off when the NFL called.  Maybe the ‘212′ number looked very similar to Bill Parcels new cell phone.  Maybe he thought the NFL was calling to see if he could volunteer for a United Way commercial.  It turns out the NFL was calling to schedule a random drug test. 

T.O. missed that test and is now on the NFL’s “reasonable cause” drug testing program.  The big question is: why did T.O. miss that test?  He says the NFL had agent Drerw Rosenhaus’s number and his agent never gave him the message.  But in a word with Texting, Instant Messaging, cell phones, I-Phones, Blackberries, the list goes on, how do you not get the message.  That leaves one last question: Did T.O. miss the test on purpose?

T.O. does have the body of a sculpted Greek statue, he runs faster then the road runner and he does have some emotional ups and downs.  (Remember, “That’s my quarterback man. sniffle sniffle.”)  But I have never seen him show any rage.  My gut tells me T.O. is NOT using any performance enhancing drugs, but he’s not using common sense either.  Next time the NFL calls, just answer the phone!

Cedric Benson, The Next Cowboy?

Seeing that Jerry Jones has become the newest “Father Flanagan” to NFL bad boys, why not sign RB Cedric Benson?  Apparently the now former Bears running back loves Texas.  On Saturday Austin Police arrested Jones for driving while intoxicated.  That arrest came 5 weeks after police arrested him for boating while intoxicated on Lake Travis.

Surely Jerry Jones can turn Benson’s woes around.  He can change the name from “Valley Ranch” to “Jerry’s Home for Troubled Young Adult Millionaires who Play Football.” 

Terrel Owens, Tank Johnson, Pac Man Jones, why not Cedric Benson.  Some fans might say the Cowboys  have all the running back talent they need.  But that’s not the point.  Jerry has a higher calling.  To help and save young men from the trouble they bring on themselves. 

T.O. Gets His Pop Corn - Jerry Gets his Check Book

I have often compared Jerry Jones to George Steinbrenner.  The two are terrific owners that fans love to hate.  But what ever you say about the two ego maniacs, you can’t say they don’t write the checks needed for success.

Today’s signing of Terrel Owens to a 4 year 34 million dollar deal is the Cowboy’s latest step in securing a Super Bowl Ring.  T.O. is great, he has lived up to the hype and has been a top performer every step of the way.  There is no reason to think he won’t perform again this up-coming season.  Without his success, the Cowboys will be nothing.  If T.O. is great, it means Romo is great, which means every other receiver will have a chance to be great.

Lets all thank Jerry for getting Owens locked in long term.  But Lets also thank all the fans that line Jerry’s pockets year after year.  After all it really is your money ending up in Jerry’s (and T.O.s) bank account.

Romo, Simpson - The Saga Continues

Back the freak up, DAD!  That’s what Tony Romo apparently told Jessica’s overbearing father, Joe Simpson.  The Chicago Sun Times reports that if the Jessica - Tony combination is to work as well as the Tony - T.O. combination, Joe Simpson needs to mind his own business.

The two love birds, are apparently still an item.  They were even seen dining at N9NE Steak House at Victory Park last weekend acting like two love struck school children.

Watch Tony Romo Sing - Not the Blues Either!

Tony Romo forgot to do one thing before breaking up with Jessica Simpson.  That’s take singing lessons.  I know Jessica may not be the greatest singer in the world but she could certainly help Tony.

He looks pretty happy in Chicago singing “Take me out to the Ball Game.”  With a smile the size of Tank Johnson, Tony butchers the song made so famous by the late great Harry Caray.  Check it out for yourself.  (At least he gets the “ahhh 1, 2, 3! right)

 

This is about the time he was allegedly breaking up with Jessica Simpson.  He really doesn’t seem so upset does he?

In case you are to young to know or even remember who Harry Caray is, I found this clip for you. 

Now that’s how you sing “Take Me Out to the Ball Game”!

Jessica Simpson and Tony Romo, The Real Scoop on the Alleged Break Up

First off it amazes me, just how many of you really care about this stuff.  But since you do, I will stay on top of the story for you.  Rumors have been flying that the Tony Romo and Jessica are on the splits-ville.  Even our own Newy Scruggs got sucked into the mix, quoting Star Magazine and TMZ.  Either way, reporting on the relationship that seems to have America captivated, is just a publicity stunt for bloggers and newspapers to get more readers.

In reality that’s what this post is about.  Sadly,  the above headline will generate more viewsthen most of my other Rants combined.  I’m not one to call my readers Suckers, but you fell for it!

But since I do try to serve you, Jessica’s PR Reps say the relationship is strong as ever.  The question is should we believe her?  I think they told the tabloids her and Nick Lachey were going even when the divorce was immanent.  For the real scoop we need to see what Tony has to say.
