Tony Romo and Jessica Simpson Out Shopping For Rings

After the loss to the Redskins, the Terrell Owens situation and now a near-bye week with the 0-4 Bengals heading to town, apparently, it is the perfect time for Tony Romo to be ring shopping for the little lady, Jessica Simpson.

The Chicago Sun-Times is reporting that Simpson and Romo were seen out at Neiman Marcus in Dallas looking at some large hardware for the left hand, with Joe Simpson supposedly standing in the shoe department with a sniper rifle pointed directly at the salesperson's head*.

One of my best Dallas snoops just happened to be in the original Neiman Marcus in Big D, shortly after Jessica Simpson and main man and Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo were in the store checking out big sparklers - the kind women wear on their left-hand ring finger.

I'm hearing the couple are talking about a winter wedding. Dallas fans can relax. The happy twosome are said to be planning to tie the knot well after the end of the NFL season, including the Super Bowl - should the Cowboys make it to the big game in Tampa, Fla.

I have no idea what a "snoop" is but I'm assuming it's a person that follows important people around in hopes of landing some interesting news. In this case, nice job ~~Snoop~~ snoop.

It is crazy that this relationship has withstood the amounts of media attention (like this article, for example) and gossip that it has, so the two must really like each other. Simpson is doing her best to appear as country as possible and Romo is doing his best to appear as normal as possible.

When the two finally do tie the knot and have that video at the rehearsal dinner where they show all of the goofy pictures of them growing up and being funny and making silly faces, I hope Romo's friends put together a fun little exhibition while the Simpson camp just shows "Blonde Ambition." As one of the 47 people that saw the movie, it is comedy freakin' gold. (Also, when "The Love Guru" is how IMDB.com highlights your acting career, things ain't been so good.)

But in all seriousness, if the female lead of the "Dukes of Hazzard" and the Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback can't make it, what hope do any of us have for love?

* = the sniper rifle might have been an exaggeration
