Now that the Cowboys are eliminated from the postseason, we probably don't need to concern ourselves with the Tony Romo/Jessica Simpson romance anymore, but that damn trip to Cabo just won't seem to go away. The talk leading into the Cowboys game versus the Giants revolved around a series of photographs showing Romo, Jessica and Poppa Joe Simpson relaxing in the sun, but according to NYDailyNews.com, it didn't have to be that way.

Joe is well-known for his deals with the paparazzi, where the family gets a cut from the sales of the photographs," says an insider.

"Nobody would have known that Tony was down in Mexico with Jessica if there hadn't been those pictures everywhere. So a lot of people suspect he tipped off the photographers, causing Tony this huge headache.

While it's difficult to say that a bye-week vacation took a toll on Romo's preparation, it is certainly possible that the media firestorm surrounding the QB back in Dallas could have been a distraction. So, if the report is true, Cowboys fans owe Jessica and apology and her old man a beatdown. After all, what happens behind closed doors stays behind closed doors unless your girlfriend's money-hungry father gives the paparazzi a key.

When you date Jessica, you date Joe, too," says the source.

Simpson's rep said Monday: "Joe would never sell out his daughter to the media and would never do anything to hurt his own family or for that matter, Tony. This is categorically false.
