The Dallas Cowboys can breathe a sigh of relief: rumored bad luck charm Jessica Simpson will not be at the game on Sunday. The Dukes of Hazzard star won’t be in attendance when her boyfriend Tony Romo and his Cowboys play the New York Giants this weekend at Texas Stadium. Jessica is busy, “recording an album,†her rep explained, but added, “I’m sure she will†be watching the game. Reps for the Giants and Cowboys both had no comment.
Cowboys fans had a lashed out at the Blonde Ambition star in December after her last appearance at a game, where the Cowboys lost 10-6 to the Philadelphia Eagles and Tony played what was statistically the worst game of his career.
Tony’s previous worst game was in December 2006 at home to the Eagles when then-girlfriend Carrie Underwood attended. Jessica’s attendance, in which she donned a pink number 9 jersey, prompted Tony’s teammate Terrell Owens to state, ‘‘Right now, Jessica Simpson is not a fan favorite — in this locker room or in Texas Stadium,†but her later insisted he was joking when he made the comment.
Jessica’s negative affect on the quarterback’s performance prompted the website RuinRomo.com to offer Jessica Simpson masks and urged fans of other NFL teams to download the image and wear them at Tony’s December 22 game at Carolina and the following week at Washington.
Jessica and Tony were recently spotted vacationing in Los Cabos, Mexico: Romance On, Game Off.
