Apparently, pop princess Jessica Simpson, girlfriend of Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo, has thrown down the gauntlet to the Eagles, saying in her appearance on Good Morning America Tuesday, "We're gonna kick your butts, too," according to the Dallas Morning News.
Our View:We weren't aware Jessica was a member of the Cowboys, but if she is, her fantasy value is very low. No doubt the members of the Eagles will have a little to say to Romo on the field when the two teams collide.

The focus at this time of year is clearly on the arrival of training camp, but recent weeks have put more than a few headlines on other topics, namely golf, when it comes to Dallas quarterback Tony Romo, rumored to be considering a moonlighting effort that would push the talented passer towards a career on the links after football.
Our View:Romo will appear at an annual charity event in Tahoe this weekend, paired with noneother than the great Michael Jordan. This comes off an amazing performance as part of the celebrity golf outing held in support of a Golf Channel reality show, carding a score of 84 at the same course, Torrey Pines, played by the PGA professionals at the US Open. Romo lapped the field, beating 2nd-place Justin Timberlake by 14 strokes and easily topping the expected winning score put forth by PGA members surveyed on the challenge. That has some wondering if Romo could consider a move to the links as his football days wind down.

Jean-Jacques Taylor, who writes the Inside the Dallas Cowboys report for the Dallas News, suggests that this will be Wade Phillips' last season in Dallas.

Our View:If it's possible, Taylor says that Jones is ready to commit long-term to the Cowboys' offensive coordinator before he's hired away.

Because of his success – two Pro Bowl trips, team records for yards and touchdown passes in a season – it's easy to forget that quarterback Tony Romo has made only 26 career starts. With such a short body of work, there is room for Romo to grow, and he has approached the off-season looking for ways to improve, according to the Dallas Morning News.
Our View:Offensive coordinator Jason Garrett has worked with Romo on his posture, which not only allows him to have better vision but also keeps him in position to throw more quickly. And even improvisation is practiced, with Romo performing drills that have him throwing on the move to the left and right, changing his arm angle to simulate throwing around, over or under a defender.

Our View:Romo was one of 107 golfers vying to advance to a sectional qualifier, the cutoff for qualification coming in at 71. Romo reports he had hoped to move forward, but the onset of the Cowboys' minicamp cut into his practice time. "I found a good rhythm on the backside, but it just took too long to get started," said Romo. Romo will compete in the Celebrity Long Drive competition at Trophy Club Country Club later this week and is also scheduled to play at the Colonial Pro Am on May 21st.
