The mother of Jessica Simpson says her daughter secretly married Tony Romo.
Jessica, who caused a stir in Dallas when Romo’s play suffered late last season after she watched a game from a box at Texas Stadium, was previously married to Nick Lachey.

Simpson and her mother were leaving a Chili’s restaurant in Los Angeles when she made the claim to TMZ.com, a gossip Web site. Simpson giggled and said “Well, I guess if my mom said it, it must be true,”’ according to the Arizona Republic’s Web site.

Sure, this is nothing more than gossip and who knows if it’s true. And who cares, for the most part. But there’s not that much else going on. And Cowboys fans and fantasy football players might start to care if Romo’s play continues to slide during his relationship with Simpson.

In other non-football-related gossip, profootballtalk.com reports that Tiki Barber may no longer be a part of the NBC Today show and Commissioner Roger Goodell wants to ban long hair.
