Thursday Round-Up: Vick eligible? Top-selling NFL jerseys; Romo’s new woman

America has spoken. Favre and Vick top jersey sales
Lots going on this week as we prepare for the final pre-season games, roster cuts, fantasy football drafts, and very soon, the start of the NFL season. Time to get fired up, folks!

Candice Crawford will now distract Romo from his football playing duties
The Detroit Lions won the Kevin O’Connell sweepstakes, signing him to back up Matt Stafford and Daunte Culpepper. [Yahoo!]

- Tony Romo’s got a hot new squeeze, and it’s former miss Missouri Candace Crawford, who also happens to be the sister of teen hearthrob Chase Crawford. [US Weekly]. And I really couldn’t care less … just an excuse to post a picture of a hot chick.
UPDATE: The Winnepeg Sun says it was a rambling internet video post by Pacman that caused them to re-consider:





Thanks a lot for getting back to be man. I’m going to add you to our page now.
