Jessica Ruins Another Sport for Romo

Remember that time Tiger Woods was in contention at the British Open, stumbled a little on the front nine and decided to walk off the golf course because Elin wanted to grab lunch?

Oh, you don't? That's probably because Tony Romo is the only famous athlete with a whip wrapped around his, well, you know.

Tony Romo, a native of Burlington, Wis., was home visiting family and decided to join his father, Ramiro, in the Ray Fischer 72-hole Amateur Championship at Riverside Golf Course in Janesville, an event run by the Wisconsin Public Links Association.
The Dallas Cowboys' quarterback, a two handicapper, started well, shooting 69 and 70, five under par, and was tied for third (in a 172-man field) after Saturday's second round. He shot a 74 in the third round on Sunday morning and was fading on the front side of the final 18 when he withdrew and left in a hurry. The reason? He had to get girlfriend Jessica Simpson to the airport.

So you're playing golf with your dad, who is probably so happy he's staring down at those poor souls on cloud nine, and you just jet on him to pick up your girlfriend, when the relationship has always been a bit stubbly, to take her to the airport? Not to get all SNL on you, but really? You're the Dallas Cowboy quarterback and she's made such blockbuster hits as "Blonde Ambition" and you can't afford a rental service?

I have a few rules with sports and relationships, and a big one is if you've committed to an event, whether it's a softball tournament, round of golf or even a keg stand competition, you never leave your buddies while they're holding your feet in the air.

Update: Believe what you want, but according to the DMN Cowboys blog, the reason Romo left is because of "informal workouts." Umm, OK.
