Giants Star Defends Tony Romo, Pines For Jessica

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo knows he has to watch out for New York Giants defensive star Michael Strahan on the field when their teams square off this Sunday, but the lineman has Romo's back in other respects.

When asked yesterday what he thought about Romo's South of the Border jaunt with sexy singer Jessica Simpson, Strahan said he'd do the same thing.

"Heck, if Jessica Simpson wanted to date me, I may give her a shot," said the Giants Hall of Fame-bound defensive end, who is recently divorced.

DECEMBER: Jessica Simpson cheered on Tony Romo at Texas Stadium. Normally loyal Dallas fans were livid when he had a terrible game and the Cowboys lost.

Tony's teammate, Terrell Owens, even jokingly chided the quarterback for being distracted by Simpson, who won't be there for the big game Sunday.

As for Michael Strahan, well, he's in Tony Romo's corner.

"I can't blame the guy," Strahan said.
