What Does Papa Joe Have On Tony Romo?
Amid some pretty solid news that Tony Romo and Jessica Simpson are definitely splitzville, comes this report that Tony honored his promise to squire Jess to her sister’s wedding…after being “reminded” by her father Joe:
After multiple sources told Us this week that Tony Romo, and Jessica Simpson, had split. The Dallas Cowboys quarterback arrived at Simpson’s parents’ Encino house shortly before noon today as the family prepared for Ashlee’s backyard wedding.
As Usmagazine reported on Friday, Joe Simpson personally called Romo and asked him to attend the wedding, as Jessica’s date, in order to support the family. Jessica will be Ashlee’s maid of honor.
What kind of dad calls up his daughter’s ex to “support the family”? I mean, I’d think he would want people there who WANT to be around, not who have to be “asked”. And what is this “support the family” biz? It sounds like they’re preparing for a funeral, not a wedding. Come on, Joe, it isn’t a fiscal crisis, just your knocked-up daughter’s shotgun wedding. I’m telling you, these Simpsons just ooze class!
Makes me wonder just what sort of dirt Papa Joe has on Tony.  I don’t think Tony did this just to be nice. You just gotta wonder if Jessica told daddy something that was supposed to be kept secret, or if she saw something she wasn’t supposed to, or if that whole incident in Vegas was more than it seemed on the surface. Or maybe he had Tony sign one of those billion year contacts like Scientology makes you sign when you join Sea Org. I ain’t sayin’, I’m just sayin’.
Don’t drink the punch, Tony!

Joe maybe threatened to leak that Romo lost 2 million large in Vegas three weeks ago betting on something NFL related. Wasn’t that the weekend of the draft?
He and Simpson hadn’t been seen together since then, and I watched the x17 footage of the sushi lunch on Friday — she was not happy to be there or to see him.
I wonder how much more scratch Joe got from PEOPLE for having Romo at the wedding. His daughters need to cut Joe loose to even stand a chance at happiness.

Well, it wouldn’t be much to hold over Tony’s head, since I already wrote about it.
I don’t know. Maybe Tony was bribed. Maybe Joe shot him with a tranquilizer dart. Or maybe he was blinded by Jessica’s…eyes.

So did Robin Leach. My point being that to the NFL, who instructs players not to associate with gamblers, there’s a world of difference between gambling on horses and gambling on pro football. Has anyone confirmed exactly how much he lost and how he lost it?
Maybe Joe knows.

Yeah, that’s where I got the story.
All I know about what he lost is what has been reported on Robin’s site. Beyond that, I don’t know. It wouldn’t surprise me if Joe knows…he strikes me as the type who would find something like that out. From what I’ve been able to figure out, he was watching the draft, but I don’t know if he was betting on it.
You’re right in the NFL doesn’t like gambling or its players associating with gamblers. If Joe has dirt on Tony, that could be bad…but then again, it has to make you wonder just what sort of man would buy a boyfriend for his daughter. Allegedly, that is.
And agreed that Ashlee and Jess need to seriously kick Joe to the curb. Maybe he could hook up with Dina Lohan.

My only other guess is that Jessica witnessed steroid usage on Romo’s part.
She was not happy to see Romo. The only one who wanted him there was Joe, and only to make more $$ for the People exclusive.

At first I thought that this is about scientology, it turned up in google search for the keyword. Disregard

Disregard? Why? It isn’t important enough?
