Jessica Simpson Addresses the Bad Luck Charm Title
May 12, 2008 by Cherie
I have to say, as a Packers fan, I’m very supportive of Jessica Simpson’s relationship with Tony Romo. (**she said with tongue in cheek**) Because if you ask most football fans if Jess is a bad luck charm to Tony, they’d probably agree.
In my opinion, however, it’s not that she’s bad luck but there’s no doubt about the fact that she’s a distraction. I don’t blame her for Tony losing. I do, however, think that he isn’t as focused as he should be. No quarterback that is headed for the playoffs should be taking time off (with someone as lovely as Jess or not) to go to Cabo. Cabo could have waited until football season is over.
Fans have lashed out with their anger by saying Jessica is bad luck. Even President Bush has got in on the act saying “We’re gonna send Jessica Simpson to the Democratic National Convention.”
But Jess tells the folks at Glamour that “That was ludicrous. I don’t understand why they think that I would be a distraction to Tony. Do they really think he can see way far up in that box? No. He’s the most focused person I’ve ever dated.”
No, Jess, we don’t think he can see you that far up in the box, and I don’t think that’s why people think you’re a jinx, either.
I don’t think Jessica gets it. If she’s dating a football player it can’t be about her and the attention she needs all the time. I’ll be curious to see how much longer this relationship lasts once football season starts again.

She also doesn’t get that, um, just *knowing* she’s there might distract him.
And doesn’t she know that sports fans look for any excuse to blame a player’s poor performance on anything but . . . the player? (I’m a New England sports fan, home of the 86-year “curse” on the Red Sox. We know of what we speak!)
Jodie – *giggle* yes I know exactly of what you speak! Now that Favre is gone from the Packers I’m sure there will be a new set of excuses for us fans.
And with Jess – I totally agree with you. Just her being there IS a distraction, just like when a player’s family or best friends are there. Anything to get their heads out of the game. (And going to Cabo before the playoffs would definitely do that!)
I loved how she said, “Do people actually think he can see me up there?” DOH!
