I’m sure we all know by now that Tony Romo broke up with Jessica Simpson recently, but do any of you know who he is dating now?
According to reports from CelebTV.com the Dallas Cowboys quarterback is kicking it with Candice Crawford the former Miss Missouri. Miss Crawford is a Dallas TV sports reporter, how convenient, and hosts the weekend television show for the Cowboys. She might not have the same flotation devices as Jessica, but being the quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys comes with some definite perks.

You’re fired. Offensive coordinator Chan Gailey has been fired today by the Kansas City Chiefs. How in the blue HEdoublehockeysticks do you get fired after week three of the preseason? Head coach and former offensive coordinator for the Cardinals Todd Haley will be letting us know later today who will be taking over the reigns for Gailey. It would make sense for Haley to take over the role based on his experience, but being the head coach and offensive coordinator for what is assured to be a dumpster fire of a team could be a bad decision for Haley.
In other promising news from the Chefs camp it has been reported QB Matt Cassel has a sprained MCL and could miss anywhere from 2-4 weeks. Could they go 2-14 again this year?
This falls under the category of “WTF?”
Most males are really jonesing for ‘real’ football games to begin because the preseason can be a tad bit boring after the first half of a given game. Fox had a real opportunity to broadcast and most likely get the biggest rating ever for a preseason game if they would have aired Philly versus Jacksonville tonight.
Why? Because we could have watched Mike Vick straight from Leavenworth Penal League play some professional football once again. 
But NO! Rupert Murdoch and the execs at FOX have decided to air the horrible Miami versus Tampa Bay bore fest. They have had plenty of time to make a change and it wouldn’t impact anybody in south Florida if they prefer to watch the Fins versus Bucs so this is a real head scratcher.
Way to go FOX.
The people who offered the orginal Vick Dog Chew Toy have now released their latest version of this hot commodity. No longer do you have to suffer through your chew toy wearing the outdated federal prison garb, oh no! You can now purchase the Vick Dog Chew Toy in his updated Philadelphia Eagles jersey. Hurry now before they all sell out!
The National Football League is implementing plans in order to keep the amount of alcohol consumed down this year in stadiums versus previous years. The NFL is recommending that every stadium implement a 3½ hour limit on tailgating the day of games and the need to add additional security to improve the monitoring of the parking lots on game day. They would also like to see steps taken once fans enter the stadium around the amount of alcohol someone can purchase at any given time. Restricting fans to no more than two 1½-ounce servings of liquor, two 6-ounce servings of wine or two 20-ounce beers each point of sale would go a long ways in the opinion of Milt Ahlerich the league’s senior vice president of security. It was noted that last year you could buy 24 or 28 ounce beers at certain stadiums or you could buy as many as you could hold at a given time. This generally leads to bad experiences for some of the fans when you have cursing, puking, fighting and other drunk related issues occurring. The League is also going to post the message “Fans don’t let fans drive drunk” on almost every beer cup sold this season at the games. While I’m all for having fun at a game I think the steps the NFL is taking are very smart. How many times have you seen a three hundred pound shirtless redneck with a back hairier than a Sasquatch cussing at the opposting team while he is pouring half his Budweiser on the kid in front of him? I know these new rules won’t end the issues totally, but it should slow down rip roaring drunk guy just a bit.
The Bengals were on the road last night and their All Pro kicker Shayne Graham tweaks his groin so as a precaution they sit him the rest of the game without another kicker on the roster. What would you do if you were head coach Marvin Lewis in that position? Well, you would ask Chad Ochocinco to kick the extra point, DUH. Check out this video of Chad booting the extra point through the uprights in an impressive manner and ultimately winning the game for the Bungles against the Patriots. He also kicked off to begin the second half and came very close to the 10-yard line. I got a strong feeling we will hear some chatter from Ocho on this latest feat.
The top ten list of the largest most rotund coaches past or present from the NFL and college.

Number 6 Plump – Romeo Crennel
Number 5 Lard – Andy Reid

ABC’s television show sensation “Dancing with the Stars” has released their list of contestants for this year’s show and there seems to be even more athletes than normal this time around. Michael Irvin is the most famous of the athletes and looks to fall in the foot steps of former Cowboy teammate Emmitt Smith who won the show a couple of years back. Other athletes that will compete on the show include Louie Vito a professional snowboarder, former UFC champ Chuck Liddell and another Olympic star in swimmer Natalie Coughlin. Other contestants include singer Aaron Carter, actor Mark Dacascos, former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, singer Macy Gray, actor Ashley Hamilton, actress Melissa Joan Hart, model Kathy Ireland, actress Debi Mazar, singer Mya, reality star Kelly Osbourne and singer Donnie Osmond. This is all good and well, but in the end I didn’t plan on watching the show until I also heard our friend Joanna Krupa will also be on the show. I wonder if she will end up blessing out her partner on “Dancing with the Stars” like she previously did to Terrell Owens on “The Superstars”?
I guess it was only a matter of time before a company or organization jumped on the Snuggie craze and who better than the Home Shopping Network to capitalize. HSN has created their version of the Snuggie for professional football and it’s named the NFL Huddler. I would like to warn family and friends right now that there is a strong possibility you will be receiving a NFL Huddler this year from yours truly.
