The Sports Bizzo

By Toph…

What a crazy weekend it turned out to be, and we’ll get into it soon, but first let’s talk Jessica Simpson. Yes, I’m still blaming all of this on Jessica Simpson. By this point I’m sure you’ve heard that Romo is out 4 weeks with a broken pinkie. Diabla woke me up early this morning, on my day off mind you, to share the news. About an hour later the texts came in from everyone I know across the country. Romo out 4 weeks. From New York, to Austin, to Dallas, to Fort Worth, to California texts messages came pouring in. Actually, I’m not sure if my friends thought I would never see the news, or if they just wanted to be first to tell me, but my cell phone will bill will take a hit for it. I must tell them I don’t have unlimited text messages, and to stop texting me with national news. Maybe this article will do. Diabla was pretty pumped that she was the one who broke the news to me.

So there you have it, my Romoboner has gone limp as shit. I couldn’t get it up at this point if I tried. No, not even with strippers.

Not that it deserves to be erect, because the Cowboys were god awful against the Cardinals. Sure, they battled back to force a disastrous overtime, in which Romo broke his pinkie on the first play, but, they had no business winning this game. They didn’t even belong on the same field, and I never thought I’d say that about Cowboys - Cardinals in my life. Yet, here we are, and the future doesn’t look good.

Final Final was a scene yesterday. Ryan and I almost got into a fight with an Eagles fan, which is always fun. And, since the Cowboys went into overtime, all eyes were on the game. Unfortunately, it didn’t end well for us, and the long terms effects might be worse.

The outlook:

The Cowboys should still be able to get passed the Rams next week. The Rams are awful, but did manage to beat Washington on Sunday. Next, they get Tampa at home in a game that they should have won. With Brad Johnson or Brooks Bollinger running the show, that might not happen. Lastly, the New York Giants in New York before the bye week. Not that I don’t have faith, but I don’t see them winning this game.

What does this mean? Well, the Cowboys are in deep shit. If Romo comes back and everything is normal, then the Cowboys should have a wildcard birth. If Romo comes back and everything is like they were on Sunday, well, so long Wade Phillips - that is if he doesn’t get fired before hand.

Oh, right, it’s all Jessica Simpson’s fault. The Simpson Curse continues. Seriously, go back to Carrie Underwood, Romo. You’ve got 4 weeks to sort it all out. Do the right thing.

Not that I talk about College sports often, but wow, Texas - OU was fantastic. If you didn’t see it, find a way to watch it. It was incredible.

Of course, I’ll start talking a lot more about my trip to LA at the end of the month, but I thought I’d go ahead and preview it now. On the 24th, Diabla and I are heading down South for the 25th running of the Breeder’s Cup. It’s already coming with sad news, though. Big Brown will not be racing now, and his amazing career is over. He injured himself training, and will never race again. But, could that open a spot for Macho Again? Let’s hope so. Sitting in owner’s box sounds a lot better than general admission, doesn’t it?
