Tony Romo Distracted By Watching Marion Barber Run Through Linebackers

Jessica Simpson Won't Be In Romo's Head, More Like Against It
It might seem a skosh ridiculous that Carolina Panthers fans are going balls out on this Jessica Simpson cutout distraction thingy tonight against Tony Romo and the Dallas Cowboys, considering that Terrell Owens has said repeatedly that Simpson really isn't a distraction to the team after all. So th...

No, we're not doing a Deadspin Quote of the Year (although I'd rather enjoy the acronym "DQUOTY"). The Word of the Year and Sportshuman of the Year have given us enough radio buttons already. Fortunately, others are picking up the slack. The QUOTY turned out to be: "Don't Tase Me, Bro." Also in the ...

A total of 36 players will not travel with Florida State to the Music City Bowl for one reason or another. (Another reason being: mass suspension.) What might really help out the Seminoles would be to ask the refs if they could play most of the game 7-on-7. Failing that, change your confidence ratin...

Kirk Radomski Is In Your Extended Network
This analysis of the names in the Mitchell Report? Yeah, we're not done with it yet. Slate compiled a nifty little web graph — an "interweb," if you will — of how the players heard about the butt-needling services of one Kirk Radomski. It's color coded and everything....

Dan Shanoff's Yearly Christmas Tome
Continuing a Christmas tradition on Deadspin (and, before that, other fine holiday establishments), Dan Shanoff presents a special holiday poem, dedicated to the many reindeer who pull the Deadspin sleigh — usually drunk, stoned or otherwise on crack. Happy holidays!...

Show Romo Your Love On Saturday
So, do you REALLY want to get into Tony Romo's head on Saturday? Show up at the game wearing a Jessica Simpson mask; hilarity is sure to ensue! It's all thanks to the new site RuinRomo.com; which I discovered thanks to a commenter. The site provides a Jessica Simpson mask which can be printed out, c...

Unfortunately, the video above doesn't have the actual moment, though if anyone happened to catch it, we're all ears. Our favorite part, as pointed out by AA, is that the woman lists herself as a "sea captain." In Tennessee. Which is awesome....

The Yearly Night In The Champaign Snow

T.O. To Romo: Girls Are Icky
I've thought about it and decided that it all had to be a nightmare. All I remember are fleeting images: Jessica Simpson. Pink jersey. Multiple sacks of Tony Romo. Terrell Owens asking for Simpson's phone number. Press conference. Yoko Ono. Jerry Jones' face melting like the Nazi in Raiders of the L...
