IRVING, Texas - Jess win, baby!
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.

hey
How many seasons will we have to endure the fallacy that Tony Romo is anything but a 2nd- or 3rd-rate quarterback?
I just read this on another link. Pretty funny and she looks exactly like JS.
A leaner, more angular face, and the picture lacks an angle (or perspective) on her other attributes. She’s cute, but no Jessica.
Well! He won 13 games, not bad for second or third rate quarterback. Maybe all those dropped passes, missed interceptions and penalties had something to do with it. I would say it was a team effort.
Sent it to a couple of office Cowboys’ fanatics then had to duck and cover! LOL!
"I want to be a part of it/New York, New York!/These vagabound shoes.....
Looks like she distracted the Boys’ offensive line more than Romo.
So what was Peyton Manning’s excuse yesterday?
I cannot believe that otherwise intelligent people, including FReepers, are buying into this lame, LAME idea that a woman has such mystical powers overly lowly males that the woman (and all who look like her) has to be banned from the males’ sporting events because the poor males are simply not capable of dealing with her devastating powers. BS! Jessica, go and find a real man who does not mythologize you, demonize you, or subject you to this kind of ridicule!
And here I thought we’d left witch-burnings in the past along with a lot of other stupid ideas.
I’m still in serious sour grapes mode, so please excuse my harsh words about Romo...
...but with that said, the Cowboys should have been 9-6. The games against the Bills, Redskins (first one), Lions, and one other one I can’t remember, all seemed like gimme’s by the opposing team.
I’m the world’s biggest Cowboys fan, which is why I’m fuming over the possibility that Romo gets credit for a 13-3 season when he should be getting a swift boot in the backside so we can get past the first freaking playoff game.
Again, sorry about the harshness...I’m just really ticked. :( Give me until next season to get over it and I’ll be cheering on the little chokester again.
Go GIANTS!
Meanwhile, my Giants continue to benefit from tyranny of lowered expectations. Like Forrest Gump, they stumble upon greatness. On to Lambeau!
Look at the opposing QBs the Boys faced the first part of the year:
Trent Green
Rex Grossman
Mark Bulger (who was probably at 50% with all of his injuries)
Trent Edwards
That probably had more to do with their fast start than anything.
More impressive is that they did it without big-mouth Shockey.
And the Giants and the Patriots can now claim to be the only two teams that have won in every opposing stadium they’ve played in this year.
Go [whoever can beat NE]! :) The Giants came close, so maybe I’ll root for them even though they beat my Cowboys.
He can afford two hundred thousand dollar earrings, you'd think he could buy a two hundred dollar pair of Oakley's and dump the cheap glaucoma goggles.
