The NY Giants won against the Greenbay Packers. The score after heading into overtime was 23 to 20. The Giants showed some great skills and deserve credit for winning the game. But everyone in New York must give credit where it is due and remember to thank pop star Jessica Simpson. The New Year has just begun, but things aren't going too well for Jessica. She has already made history for her boxoffice dud Blonde Ambition which averaged only $50 dollars a day. The film opened theatrically on eight Texas screens which means only 6 people went to see it. She was named on Mr. Blackwell's 10 Worst Dressed List. And now the whole state of Texas thinks she's a jinx and blames her for causing boyfriend Tony Romo's Dallas Cowboys to lose their big playoff game.
News spread about Tony Romo's vacation getaway he took with girlfriend Jessica Simpson before his big game against the NY Giants. And once pictures surfaced from their rendezvous Cowboy fans who believed in the curse were worried that they would lose their important playoff games. Gambling and betting pools were formed on the importance of the "Jessica Simpson Factor." The New York Post even planned a scheme to help the New York Giants win.
Even a fake Jessica Simpson was good enough to throw off the Dallas Cowboys yesterday, as Big Blue took a Giant step toward the Super Bowl. The Giants, who notched a stunning 21-17 victory over Dallas in the NFC Divisional Playoffs, had a good-luck charm in the stands - in the form of Simpson lookalike Lynsey Nordstrom. The real Simpson was the subject of great hand-wringing in Big D all week because of her budding romance with Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo and his habit of falling short on the field when gal pals are in attendance. Simpson - nicknamed "Yoko Romo" by some superstitious Cowboys fans - didn't show up yesterday, but The Post brought Nordstrom, a beautiful, 21-year-old nanny from Bothell, Wash., to Texas Stadium. We sat her in the third row at the 50-yard line behind Dallas' bench. The stunner's Simpson-esque vibes must have made the difference - Romo's final drive was stopped short of the end zone. You're welcome, New York!
I knew we were going to win when I saw her [Nordstrom]. I'm dead serious!" said Giant die-hard Anthony Triglia, 21, of Staten Island who cheered Big Blue in the heart of enemy territory. [SOURCE]

Jessica Simpson's ex John Mayer came to her defense writing an open letter on his John Mayer blog.
I have never known anyone to have more pride in their home state and their upbringing in it than Jessica Simpson has in Texas...That girl loves Texas more than you know. It's one of her most defining traits as a person. So please don't try and take that away from her. (You probably wouldn't be able to, but it's less work for all involved.)
We will reflect on the "Jessica Simpson Jinx" and share the New York Post's ceremony honoring "good luck charm" Simpson lookalike Lynsey Nordstrom. After defeating the Greenbay Packers in Wisconsin the underdog Giants are heading to Super Bowl XLII in Glendale Arizona. They will play the undefeated New England Patriots on February 3. We wonder if the Giants are going to hook up the fake Jessica Simpson and the real Jessica Simpson with tickets to their big Super Bowl Game. Maybe it will conjure up a double whammy to help them pull off another big win.
