Tony Romo and the Dallas Cowboys were one of the many teams upset this weekend in the second round of the NFL Playoffs. Since Romo couldn’t lead his team to the NFC Championship Game, he can now spend some more PDA filled evenings with his new sweetheart, Jessica Simpson. I wonder if her parents will tag along again.

Here are the players who helped out their team this weekend and some who didn’t:

New York Giants 24, Dallas Cowboys 17

• Eli Manning didn’t turn the ball over once and connected to Amani Toomer for two touchdown passes.

San Diego Chargers 28, Indianapolis Colts 24

• Philip Rivers tossed for three touchdowns despite a non-existent LaDainian Tomlinson, who left with a leg injury.
• Peyton Manning was his usual self with over 400-yards passing and four touchdowns, but it was his two interceptions in Charger territory that proved to be crucial.

New England Patriots 31, Jacksonville Jaguars 20

• Tom Brady only threw two incomplete passes, connecting on 26 passes and throwing three touchdowns.

Green Bay Packers 42, Seattle Seahawks 20

• Brett Favre and Ryan Grant each had three touchdowns, including 201 yards rushing for Grant.
• Seattle’s running game was pretty much non-existent, as Shaun Alexander led the Seahawks with 20-yards.

Apparently there are other more important things on Tony Romo’s mind than the New York Giants next weekend.

That other “thing” happens to be Jessica Simpson, who Romo took to Los Cabos, Mexico last week for a little vacation before his first playoff game this Sunday. But the dimpled-duo weren’t alone as they were joined by her parents who always seem to be around when she’s a significant other, and some of Romo’s teammates.

Being a Philadelphia Eagles fan, I could careless about what extra curricular activities Tony Romo wants to involve himself in during the playoffs, but after last year’s botched field goal hold, you’d think that he’d want to lock himself in his house and think about nothing but football.

After Sunday’s embarrassing loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in front of his new girlfriend Jessica Simpson,  I figured, why let the embarrassment stop there for Tony Romo.

After checking out SI’s Extra Mustard this morning, I had to post this video of Romo doing his own rendition of Journey’s, “Don’t Stop Believin.’”

Maybe the singing should be left to Simpson and Romo should stop soaking up his fame during the late nights and focus on football.

Actually, scratch that.

Being an Eagles fan, I want Romo out all night so he throws three interceptions every weekend.

After recently watching a Philadelphia Phillies game, I couldn’t help but notice that the Phillies’ Pat Burrell looked very familiar to me. Then it dawned on me. Who else in this year’s playoff rosters look like familiar Hollywood stars?

This is what I came up with.

• The Phillies’ Pat Burrel has a striking resemblance to a young Ray Liotta.

• Phillies’ Ryan Howard and action star Michael Clarke Duncan have the looks and the size to match up to each other.

• Casey Blake of the Cleveland Indians and Gerard Butler from 300 with their matching beards.

• Garret Anderson of the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim and Morgan Freeman. The potential is there. Give Garret another 15-20 years and he’ll be a carbon copy.

• Jorge Posada of the New York Yankees and Harland Williams. Harland is the one who’s not in the dress by the way, just in case you didn’t make your way to the bottom of the picture. Scary resemblances in the smile and ears.
