Cowboys Lose. Don't Blame Jessica Simpson
 The Giants defeated the Dallas Cowboys 21-17. They will be advancing towards the Super Bowl and not the Cowboys. There is one person that is definitely not to blame and that is actress/singer Jessica Simpson. She wore a pink version of quarterback Tony Romo's jersey (shown on right) to a game that the cowboys lost and a lot of people oddly blamed the loss on her. She wasn't in attendance (as far as we know) at the Cowboys-Giants game which means the Jessica Jinx is over. However, there were lots of blonde women in the stands wearing pink Romo jerseys reports MSNBC.
"I'll take the blame and I'll take the criticism here," Romo said. "That's why we're put in these positions."
There were plenty of blonde women in the stands wearing pink Romo jerseys Sunday, but the woman who made them famous wasn't believed to be among them. Her publicist said earlier in the week she was working on a new album and would not be at the game.
On Dec. 16, Simpson proudly displayed her shirt to television cameras during the Cowboys' game against Philadelphia. Romo injured his throwing thumb and had one of his worst games of the season that day. What they didn't know - or didn't care about - was that she'd attended other Cowboys games and he played just fine.
Then came the fuss about Romo's trip to Mexico leading up to the Giants game.
Dallas had 13 wins in the regular season so they were the favorite going into the game but they couldn't find a way to win it despite a good opportunity near the end of the game.
It finally came down to this: the Cowboys had 1:50 left to go 48 yards.
A Brett Favre-esque scrambling shovel pass to Jason Witten got the Cowboys to the 22 with 31 seconds left, then came more mistakes - another false start, a short pass that forced Dallas to use its final timeout and a pair of poor throws, a ball in the end zone that Patrick Crayton seemed to give up on before futilely speeding up and the final play, caught by McQuarters.
The Giants will face Green Bay in the conference finals.
