In a hard-hitting interview with US Magazine, T.O. explains that he was joking about Jessica being bad luck for Tony Romo and the Cowboys. T.O. wishes good luck to the couple and per US Weekly, "I told her she is welcome to the stadium anytime. I told her she can come down and sit in my section, I’m sure she will be back!”

Shoot me. Is there any way that, "I'm sure she will be back," could ever actually end with an exclamation point in this setence? Try this yourself. It's impossible. Unless you're 15 and Jessica Biel just bought a snowcone from you and you made her smile. When you're 15, everything's possible.

Now that A.J. has left us, it's up to others to try and fill his pointy, elfin shoes and feed us some delicious Cultural Oddsmaker pie. And I can think of no better place to start than with Tony Romo's little black book. Now that Jessica Simpson is apparently out of the picture, who will be the next beauty to take his arm on a trip to Cabo? My bet is already down, but I'm not telling. OK fine, I say that he's waiting for Dakota Fanning ... although as Otter said in Animal House, "That could take years, and cost thousands of lives." Rumors and Rants runs down the more practical odds.

Let's see: Kelly Pickler is the favorite here at 5/2, although don't count out wily veteran Bridget Moynahan (20-1) or the workmanlike Alyssa Milano (50-1). But hey ... where's Rice Girl?
