Tony Romo Bounces Back In Cowboys Win, Hurt By Attacks On Jessica Simpson

In a post-game press conference following the Dallas Cowboys win over the Carolina Panthers on Saturday night, quarterback Tony Romo discussed the drama surrounding the previous week’s loss and the blame that was cast on his girlfriend Jessica Simpson for being in attendance. “I just put tunnel vision on,” he explained. “There’s so many distractions about junk sometimes. I felt like the important thing for my team was to get myself into football mode 24/7.” Asked if the media attention had bothered him, Romo responded, “I let it roll off my back. It doesn’t really bother me. But it hurts me when it hurts the people that are close to you. Some of the journalistic integrity this week was poor in some ways.”
