Jinxed by Gisele, a la Jessica?

Not that we in any way subscribe to superstitious falderal.

No, not us.

But the Super Bowl left us wondering: Is there a famous-girlfriend jinx?

Hey, football fans love to spot a trend.

Fact one: Pop star Jessica Simpson gets major facetime at Cowboys-Eagles game in December, and boyfriend quarterback Tony Romo plays lame-o and loses.

Fact two: Said Simpson and said Romo do the Cobo tryst before the Giants-Cowboys playoff game, and, well, the result leaves teammate Terrell Owens in tears.

Here, T.O., have another Kleenex.

What, T.O, you also just lost like $700,000 'cause you have to repay part of your Eagles signing bonus?

Maintenance, somebody mop up these puddles!

Fact three: Supermodel Giselle Bundchen was watching her QB boy toy Tom Brady yesterday at the Super Bowl, when he puts up 14 measly points.

So much for history.

So much for the Patriots going 19-0.

Blame the babe?

Brady himself may have given credence to the theory when, according to a friend last month, he advised Tony Romo that Simpson stay away from games.

"After that debacle of a game with Jessica being flashed on the screens during every play, Tom told Tony to put a stop to allowing Jess to come to games. Think about it: How often do you see Gisele cheering Tom on?" according to a friend of Brady's quoted on various gossip sites.

The friend is further quoted as saying that if the Pats get into the big time, "Gisele will likely know enough to keep away. Unlike Jessica, she realizes football is more than just a game, it's his career."

Talk about pressure.

Maybe the latest Spygate allegations - that the Patriots spied on a St. Louis Rams practice before the '02 Super Bowl - were a distraction as Brady practiced this week.

Oh, wait. He didn't practice much. Because of a bad ankle. Which came to light when he was cavorting around enemy territory - New York - with Gisele.

New York? Maybe she's an undercover Giants fan.

Or could it be that, like any normal guy, bigtime quarterbacks can get nervous with a beautiful woman watching?

Maybe the X's and O's that really matter stand for hugs and kisses.

Maybe it's not so dumb after all to ask: Is there a jinx?

That's not the biggest question, though, says gambling911.com.

"The big question now is Who dumps Whom first?" asks Tyrone Black. "Will Tony Romo dump Jessica first or with Tom Brady dump Gisele Bundchen first?"

Well, at least Tony will still have T.O.

Instead of building on their momentum from Tuesday night's rally, the Phillies find themselves in a first-place tie after suffering a 6-3 loss to the Mets last night.
OBITUARIES
City police officers will be riding two in a car after radio communications cut out Tuesday night for 45 minutes, and officials yesterday told Motorola it must ensure the system is working properly - and soon.
Philadelphia Inquirer
WASHINGTON - The House approved a sweeping plan yesterday to ease the most serious housing crisis since the Great Depression by providing aid to homeowners facing foreclosure and a federal backstop for the struggling mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
It was always a matter of when, not if. The city's $62 million Motorola radio system had the kind of spectacular crash on Tuesday night that critics have warned about for years.
