Tony Romo still has Jessica Simpson on his mind. Or maybe he has nothing on his mind. Whatever the case, the Cowboys QB apparently thought he had more downs than he actually did at the end of Sunday's loss. Video from the game shows Romo holding three fingers up after his last pass, an incompletion. He also tried waving his linemen back to the line of scrimmage. Ultimately, he was forced to realize he squandered the team's last down. Way to fail, Tony. Way to fail.

Some other things important and not so important:

- MLB playoffs are starting. My Cubbies didn't make it in, but it's OK. They probably would've been swept in the first round anyway.

- Braylon Edwards is apparently jealous of LeBron James. I don't know what the big deal is. Who wouldn't be?

- Brett Favre made it out of last night alive. I'm still not impressed. Hate me for it if you want, but I still refuse to acknowledge Brett Favre is the Vikings' QB. It doesn't help that The Worldwide Leader has a serious man-crush on the farm boy.

Video of the week: A four year old recites Kurt Russell's speech as Herb Brooks in the movie "Miracle." Awesome. His dad is raising him well.

Dave Miniaci is a senior majoring in journalism and is the Daily Collegian's sports chief. He has previously been sports night chief and a sports copy editor. He has also covered men's rugby, men's track and field and field hockey. He is from New Jersey and is a big Devils fan and proud of both, and he doesn't care if you hold that against him.

Adam Clark is a senior majoring in journalism and is the Daily Collegian's sports editor. He previously covered fraternity and sorority life, crime and courts and was the Collegian's summer 2009 news/sports editor. His favorite athlete died on the last lap of the 2001 Daytona 500 and his favorite football team is coming off the worst six-year stretch in NFL history. He does hold it against Dave Miniaci that he's from New Jersey.

Dan Rorabaugh is a senior majoring in sports journalism and minoring in English. He is the sports copy desk chief, and was previously a reporter for the men's rugby, men's cross country, men's volleyball, women's soccer, women's basketball and men's lacrosse teams. Last year, the impossible dream happened - one of his favorite teams, the Phillies, won a championship. Now if only the Eagles could catch some of that magic, he might be able to actually find peace with sports.

Michael Oplinger is a junior majoring in media studies and political science and the Collegian's assistant sports copy desk chief. He previously covered the men's tennis and men's volleyball teams. Even though he enjoyed the Phillies' World Series victory, he misses the days of Jose Mesa and David Bell.

Eddie Gentile is a senior majoring in journalism and minoring in history. He works on the sports copy desk and previously has covered the women's tennis team, the Lady Icers and the Penn State baseball team. Gentile is your stereotypical Philly fan - he considers every game a loss until they actually win... and even then he'll probably still be moaning. Go birds.

David Rung is a senior majoring in journalism and minoring in kinesiology. He works on the sports copy desk and previously has covered the women's swimming team and the men's rugby team. Rung isn't as die hard about pro sports as his sports staff brethren from Philly and Pittsburgh, but he does take pride in being a Red Sox fan before the bandwagon started.
