I would definitely say the Cowboys are big favorites in tonight's match up with the Eagles. The bright lights of Monday Night are fitting for T.O., Romo and company. The only thing holding them back are the big mouths Adam Jones, Jessica Simpson and Terrell Owens.
In the past week to 10 days all three of them have made comments worthy of bulletin board material for Philly. Jones slammed the Eagles in a round-about way by insulting their previous opponent. "Dude, they played the Rams," said Jones. I don't see where Adam gets off thinking that he has the right to insult anyone in the NFL, including the hopeless Rams. He should feel lucky to be wearing a uniform with a big silver star instead of black and white stripes. Keep your mouth shut and play the game, son!
Then there's Jessica Simpson. She appeared on Good Morning America last week for a concert series performance. While her voice was a little shakey and the southern accent sounded quite forced most of the time, her post-performance interview was entertaining. Diane Sawyer spotted an Eagles fan in the crowd and Simpson commented, "That's next week, we're gonna kick your butts too!" As if last year's pink jersey shimmy wasn't a big enough lesson for Jessica, she had to go ahead and do it again. Let's just hope that curse doesn't continue this weekend! Romo should be thrilled to have a hotty girlfriend, but he really needs to invest in a muzzle. Don't worry Jes, I'm sure he can find a pink one for you!
And, last but not least T.O. "I think I got too big for Philly, too big for him(McNabb)." If T.O.'s goal was to give the Eagles players and fans more reasons to hate him, he succeeded. And if NFL player feed of of anger, than T.O. might have just made those inevitable tackles a little more painful for Monday night. T.O. went on to insult Donovan McNabb and the city of Philadelphia several more times during his interview. It's a good thing the game is in Dallas, because I'm not sure security at Lincoln Financial Field could have kept all of the eager snipers off of the roof.
Here's my final thought. Maybe the "3 stooges" (Simpson, Owens, and Jones) are smarter than we think. The fact that off the field distractions create pressure for the team to succeed may be just what they need. After all, I'd rather have Romo learning how to handle big pressure games now, rather than in 14 weeks
