The Media is Out of Control

Quick reminder for the media: Carie Underwood broke it off with Tony Romo because football, yes football, was all he cared about. Underwood said he spent too much time worrying about football and simply didn't have time for her.

This may be a little late in posting, but after seeing the hundredth wise crack from a reporter about the pit bulled face Jessica Simpson distracting Tony Romo by being at the game Sunday, I just couldn't take it any more.

Let me set the record straight! From the time the ball was kicked off to start Sunday's game until the final whistle, there was not one time during the game that Tony Romo gave a thought to Jessica Simpson being in the stands. Sorry, luxury suite.

If this was the case, then how do any of the players make it through a game with their wives, girlfriends, family and friends in the stands? Again, take a look at the photo above. He was too addicted to football is what the girl in the upper right said. You know, the one with a career of her own. The biggest country music singer going right now. The one that every American Idol fan worships. The pit bull on the left and the one that was such a distraction from about a half mile away Sunday, is considered to be about the dumbest female alive in the court of public opinion. Sure, she might be a nice late night distraction for Tony, but that's where the distractions stop.

So how does it make sense that Jessica Simpson was a distraction to Tony Romo against the Eagles on Sunday? It doesn't! The guy is as focused on football as Payton Manning, Tom Brady and every other quarterback in the league. Amazing how Brady can fly across the country, during a week leading up to a game, to be there for the birth of his child to an ex-Hollywood actress girlfriend and it doesn't garnish much media attention at all.

And I hate the Cowboys. But, I hate the media more. It's boring. Report that Romo is actually the father of Jamie Lynn Spears' baby...then I'd call that news.

Ballhype: hype it up! Digg!
