I love Jessica Simpson

Why, you ask? It's because anyone that is going to be able to take any of Tony Romo's attention away from football can't be bad in my eyes. Don't get me wrong, she also gorgeous, rich and kind of dumb in a cute way too. But for the purposes of this conversation, I have to stick with the fact that she's merely a distraction of Tony Romo at this point. One day i'll create some space in this blog to talk about women none of us will ever have, but for now, the conversation stays with Tony Romo.

You gotta love the beautiful starlets that attract the attention of the ulti-jocks. Paris Hilton had Brian Urlacher's eye for a while but I think he smartened up fast enough to see that no woman (regardless of hotness) is worth the distraction and Paris was heading down the wrong path. Hilary Duff has latched on to Mike Comrie of the Islanders. But lucky for the Islanders, Hilary Duff can't make him any worse than he already is.

And now Jessica Simpson has Tony Romo. He definitely upgraded when he dumped Carrie Underwood and hooked up with Jessica. But let's face it, she can only be a distraction. And besides the few moments of additional limelight she gets with this, it can't end good for her. Romo is the toast of Texas and the Cowboy Nation. Once they break up, she's going to now be the ex and people won't like her. It's kind of like when Paul McCartney breaks up with a girl. Unless you're going to be the next Linda McCartney, it won't end well for the girl. (Now don't get me wrong, i'm not comparing Romo to the Beattle, but those rabid Texas folk might)

So if Jessica can mezmerize him into botching a few plays or forgetting his check downs, then I am a Simpson fan. I just want her to cause enough havoc in his mind for him to make that one critical mistake that will cost his team a chance at the Super Bowl and a date with the Patriots. My reasons are simple. First, I hate Romo and the Cowboys and everything they stand for. Secondly, wouldn't it be great to see Brett Favre go to the Super Bowl and do the impossible by beating the almight Patriots in his last season? Talk about a story book ending! Hollywood can't make this stuff up.

So my suggestion to Jessica is this. Once they Cowboys lose and are out of the playoffs, walk away from Romo. But let it come out that he dumped you so people in Texas don't hate you. Then, pose in Playboy because i'm dying to see you naked.

Thanks for reading, and remember: FIRE ISIAH!

Dear Santa.......

It's time we send our wish lists to the man at the North Pole. At this point, my teams are going to need all the help they can get if they're going to amount to anything in 2008. If this doesn't work, I'll have to resort to lighting candles and praying. Maybe I should try to get Father Carmine to issue a blessing like the one he gave to Rocky Balboa in "Rocky".
Either way, here goes.......

1. The Rangers need defense. Go figure, once the offense starts coming together, the defense disappears. I think we've all seen that Lundqvist is a world class goalie, maybe the best on the planet, but hockey's a team sport and he can't do it all alone. I would prefer not to deal any of the defensive gems they have on the roster or in the system, but I would love to see them get a shut-down type defenseman. Someone with a mean streak who won't let an opposing player pitch a tent in front of Lundqvist all game.

2. The Giants need more consistency. Especially from Eli. We all the know the defense is the strength of the team, but even they have been erradic of late. Coughlin needs to summons up the spirit of Jimmy Hoffa and whatever other ghosts might lurk in the Meadowlands and make sure he can protect the Giants because they'll need all the help they can get. Please make the offense somewhat potent. I'm not asking for Eli to be Peyton, but at be a Manning. And the defense needs to revive themselves and play like they did during that 6 game winning streak that feels like it was 100 years ago.

3. The Mets need pitching.....BAD! This request is a blanket statement that covers the bullpen and the rotation. Please make Omar Minaya know something we don't and have something up his sleeve because right now my faith is not strong with the crew we've got right now. I can't be anymore specific than to simply say the Mets need pitching. Oh yeah, and a bench too.

4. Make the Yankees suck. Of course I'm a Mets fan and always want to see the Yankees struggle just to shut up all the smug Yankees fan out there, but this year is different. Joe Torre was treated poorly and it would be nice to show the Steinbrenner family that they made a mistake in letting him. So, for the sake of a classy guy (who by the way was a Met a long time before he was ever a Yankee), I would love to see the Yankees not make the playoffs and show the Steinbrenners that Torre did in fact do good for that organization.

5. FIRE ISIAH!
