NFL Pro Bowl Updates
1/18/08
Tony Romo apparently has no interest in laying low as evidenced by his petitioning to play in the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am on Feb. 4-10. Unlike at Texas Stadium, at Pebble he can take a mulligan.
If Jessica Simpson were to accompany Romo to the AT&T, this would be a pretty easy gig for both of them. The golf fans and celeb watchers there are pretty welcoming. Plus, the gallery will be filled with
San Francisco 49ers fans, and they're laying low these days.
Romo, LaDainian Tomlinson and Tom Brady all are candidates to play in the AT&T and all three were named to the Pro Bowl. The Pro Bowl game will be held in Honolulu on Feb. 10, a conflict for those playing golf that weekend. Apparently they're as disinterested in playing in the Pro Bowl as many fans are in watching it. Bill Belichick also is a candidate to play at AT&T; he and Brady have played in the tournament before. There's no conflict for Belichick since Tony Dungy is the AFC's head coach for the Pro Bowl.
