Don’t blame trip to Cabo for Cowboys’ 2007 playoff flop, but also, don’t go

The only reason, per a Dallas Cowboys source, we ever knew that Tony Romo and three of his teammates hit Cabo for that infamous trip was not Jessica Simpson, but rather her father.

The story goes that during the bye week of the 2007 NFL playoffs, it was Jessica Simpson’s father, Joe, who tipped off US Weekly magazine that his daughter and the quarterback of the Cowboys would be hitting the Mexican beach resort destination.

“I’ll be honest — I had never heard that,” said former Cowboys linebacker Bobby Carpenter, who along with offensive lineman Marc Colombo and tight end Jason Witten enjoyed the quick trip to Mexico with Romo.
