Tony Romo Engaged to New Girlfriend Candice Crawford

It seems like the exact opposite of what Cowboys fans wanted: December to roll around and Tony Romo to have more girlfriend issues.

The highly-debated quarterback has had relationships with Jessica Simpson, Carrie Underwood, and even Sophia Bush, but now we’re hearing rumors that he’s selected the winner of the litter.

Back in September, Hot Clicks alerted us to Tony Romo’s newest squeeze — television reporter Candice Crawford. The appropriately-named “Gossip Center” is saying Romo moved quickly. They based their report on the finger of Candice Crawford.

Yes, they think that Crawford wearing what appears to be an engagement ring means Tony must have popped the question. I have my doubts but I’m throwing it out there considering stranger things have happened and many players keep their relationships private.

This is probably the last thing Dallas fans wanted to hear. Romo actually has had good numbers — 7 TDs and no interceptions the past three games to help propel my team into first place in the Coors Light fantasy football league — but the Cowboys have dropped their past two contests. Some of Tony’s stats were achieved after the Cowboys had already blown the game, so there’s no doubt he’s partially at fault for the team not scoring earlier in the game. You can also safely blame the special teams (punt return TD by Dominic Hixon) and the defense for letting them down against the Giants. Plus, you have to figure the Cowboys lost the game with their inability to punch it in with Marion Barber three straight times from the one is where they lost it. Regardless, Dallas sure can change the minds of the doubters with a win over the Saints on Saturday night. It could happen.
