The Curse of Jessica Simpson
Did Jessica's Doppelganger Cause the Cowboys to Lose?
It's been days since the New York Giants knocked the Dallas Cowboys out of the playoffs, and Dallas fans are still struggling to understand how the upset happened. Is the Curse of Jessica Simpson to blame?
For those who don't follow the revolving door of celebrity romance, Ms. Simpson is currently dating Cowboy quarterback Tony Romo. Ever since the two became a couple, Dallas fans have been worried that the curvaceous Jessica might distract Tony from throwing touchdowns. Anyone who's seen Jessica in a tight sweater knows this is a legitimate concern.
Following the Cowboys heartbreaking loss, in which Romo threw a last-minute interception that sealed his team's fate, Cowboy fanatics dialed up searches on "jessica simpson curse" and "tony romo cursed." Apparently, the only thing more satisfying than bragging when your team wins is finding a scapegoat when your team loses.
It's worth noting that Dallas fans aren't the only ones who believe in the hex. The New York Post, who wanted a victory for their hometown Giants, placed a Jessica look-alike in the crowd just in case the curse is real. Searches on Lynsey Nordstrom, the dead-ringer who wore a pink Romo jersey to the game, surged once her secret slipped. Of course, we doubt either Jessica or Lynsey "caused" the loss, but since when are football fans rational?

Cowboy fans need to get a grip on reality! Football is a team event and Jessica Simpson is not on the team. These guys are being paid big bucks to play football, if they're performance rate was as high as there pay rate they would have won!

Jessica didn't factor into the loss. The Cowboys just beat themselves by too many miscues and the giants got outplayed but played mistake free football.

God is in control here. It was not his will for the cowboys to win the game. I am a Dallas Cowboys fan, so people get over it. God knows what he is doing. We just do not understand.........

being a cowboy fan, I can honestly agree that the only reason that the boys lost was dued to their dumb mistakes. In this case it was the penalities
