Jessica Simpson killed my fantasy team…
As you might imagine, I’m in a lot of leagues. In TEN of them, I had the good fortune to draft Tony Romo and, in most, made the playoffs as a result. While Romo hasn’t been Tom Brady, he’s been awfully good and considering he came in the 7th or 8th round of most 10- team drafts; he’s arguably one of the most valuable players of the season.
But as any veteran fantasy owner knows, once the fantasy playoffs roll around, your only as good as your last game.
Thanks to Tony Romo; I’m now pretty crappy.
- 13 completions
- 36 attempts
- 36.1% completion percentage
- 214 yards
- 0 TDs
- 3 INTs
- 9.3 fantasy points [using FBG scoring]
NOTHING is more painful than having one or more of your fantasy studs lay a goose egg in the playoffs. For those playing at home (and I know a lot of you are!)…Romo was outscored by TWENTY THREE (23) other QBs this week, including such “studs” as:
- Chad Pennington, NYJ
- Matt Moore, CAR
- Josh McCown, OAK
- Brodie Croyle, KC
- Cleo Lemon, MIA
- Shaun Hill, SF
FUN TIMES!
So what does this have to do with Jessica Simpson, you ask? Well, it seems our Mr. Romo has a trouble playing at his normal Pro Bowl level when a lady love is in the stands. This weekend, a pink-jersey clad Jessica Simpson was watching Romo stink up the joint. Coincidence, you say? Well let me ask you this…when was the last time Romo had a game this poor?
- Week 16, 2006
- 14 of 29 (48.3%)
- 142 yards
- 1 TD
- 2 INTs
What was special about that game? Carrie Underwood, his girlfriend at the time, was in the stands.
Bottom line: If you draft Tony Romo for your fantasy team, do everything humanly possible to make sure he isn’t dating a blonde pop idol at the time of your playoffs…OR ELSE!
