Benched: Jessica Simpson to Miss Tony Romo's Game

She may not be as reviled as Kelly Tilghman, but Jessica Simpson isn't what you'd call popular among sports enthusiasts these days.

At least not among Cowboys fans.

She's been touted as the rival New York Giants' secret weapon this coming Sunday, when her boyfriend Tony Romo leads his Dallas team into battle.

The "singer" faced criticism from Dallas fans after she rooted on Romo at Texas Stadium December 16 when the Cowboys lost to Philadelphia.

Simpson wore a pink jersey. Romo had his worst game ever.

Then, this past week, the pair enjoyed romantic vacation in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, sparking renewed concern that Dallas' season may be doomed.

Jessica Simpson may be hot, and from Texas, but Dallas Cowboys fans don't care - they just want Tony Romo focusing on the damn football game Sunday.

Well, perhaps because of the scrutiny Tony Romo has received from all this, it now looks like she's gonna sit Sunday's Cowboys-Giants game out.

Jessica's PR rep said: "She is not attending. She is working on a new album. She'll be watching [on TV] and cheering him on."
