Jessica Simpson is a Major Upgrade for Tony Romo

Let’s face it, we want Tony Romo to date someone famous. He’s the starting quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys. We want him to receive national attention. We want him to be a celebrity.

Carrie Underwood is nice, but she’s no superstar, even with a hit album. Carrie doesn’t make headline news. She’s the product of American Idol, which means that while she can sing, she’s still considered a normal person by a good portion of the public. We saw her transition from nobody to somebody (sorry to sound so shallow), and that takes away from the mystique. Jessica Simpson is one of those larger than life types who made the colossal mistake of putting her new marriage on national television for everyone to see.

Some people will say that Carrie seems to be more grounded than Jessica, which may be true. But let’s face it - Jessica’s dumb blonde act is still just an act. She is of above average intelligence, and all the dumb blonde stuff was just a ploy to get attention.

If Tony Romo is going to be the national celebrity we expect him to be, don’t be surprised when you see women like Jessica Simpson decked out in her pink Romo jersey. It’s a sign that the world is watching. What better team to watch?
