Just when Dallas Cowboys fans were moving on from that whole Yoko Romo curse thing, Jessica Simpson has her eyes set on Tony's teammate -- wide-receiver Miles Austin.

Austin has been scoring like crazy this season -- but if you believe in curses, this is one end zone he might wanna stay away from!

One of the most valuable players on the Florida Gator football team was arrested last night for DUI -- don't worry, it wasn't Tim Tebow.
Gainesville PD busted defensive superstar Carlos Dunlap early this morning when they saw his car stopped at an intersection -- while the light was green. When the officer approached the car, he found Dunlap asleep, slumped over the wheel of his car.
Dunlap -- who was the defensive MVP of last year's national championship game -- failed a field sobriety test, refused to take a breath test and was hauled into the station where he was booked.
The arrest comes just days before the Gators take on number two Alabama in the SEC championship. No decision has been announced about whether Dunlap will play in the game.
UPDATE: Florida coach Urban Meyer says Dunlap, and his team-leading seven sacks, will not play in the SEC championship. 'Bama nation rejoice.

Just hours after he tore up the Oakland Raiders Thursday night, Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Miles Austin touched down in Vegas -- where he spent Friday night partying in Las Vegas.
Austin partied at Body English at the Hard Rock Hotel with his quarterback Tony Romo -- here's a pic of the QB on his way out of the club with our boy from HyphyMarket.com. 
Austin had all sorts of cause to celebrate -- dude caught 7 passes for 145 yards and a TD when the 'Boys crushed the Raiders 24-7 ... but if you played against him in your fantasy league, you probably knew that already.

TMZ has obtained a photo of the bloody wound suffered by the man allegedly hit in the head with a champagne bottle last night by San Diego Chargers star Antonio Cromartie.
The victim, who has asked not to be identified, tells TMZ he blacked out after being hit and has no recollection of what happened. His friends, however, claim they saw the whole thing -- and witnessed Cromartie smash a bottle of Moet into the victim's head.
Before the incident, the friends claim Antonio had been hanging out with fellow Chargers defensive stars Shaun Phillips and Stephen Cooper when "a bunch of people" began spraying champagne all over the dance floor.
During the "celebration," the friends claim Cromartie took things too far and "out of the blue" approached them and smashed the bottle into the back of the dude's head.
After the attack, the victim was taken to a local hospital, where he received three staples and underwent a CAT scan.
Law enforcement sources tell us Cromartie is still under investigation for assault with a deadly weapon -- so far, no arrests have been made.

And before that, T.O. blamed a Cowboy loss on the fact that Jessica went to the game.
Then again, they are playing the Redskins this weekend...

There's a reason David Beckham is rocking a "precautionary" walking boot on his right foot -- and it's not very precautionary at all.
TMZ has learned David is suffering from a "tender foot" -- a result of a "series of knocks" he took to the appendage after an MLS playoff match against Chivas USA earlier this month.
A rep from the L.A. Galaxy tells us the foot is already better, and he's "practicing with the team today ahead of Sunday's MLS Cup."
... whatever that is.

David Beckham fired around the pigskin with his kids at a park in L.A. last night -- all while in the protective care of the most watched medical brace on the planet. 
Becks was a virtual Tom Brady -- but not just because he threw the ball well. TB also busted out a mysterious brace days before his big game a few years ago -- Super Bowl 42. David and the L.A. Galaxy are set to compete for the MLS Cup on Sunday. 
But according to David's rep, everything about the billion dollar foot is A-OK.
The rep tells us, "The boot is purely precautionary. David will be on the pitch training with the team Thursday morning and will travel with them later in the day to Seattle. He is expected to play with the team in the MLS cup on Sunday. "
For the record, Tom Brady lost Super Bowl 42.

The Kansas City Chiefs have officially kicked Larry Johnson to the curb -- cutting the running back from the NFL team in the wake of his gay slur scandal.
Johnson was just 75 yards away from becoming the team's all-time leading rusher when he was suspended last month, and now it seems he'll remain number two.
The move to chop Johnson gives Chiefs fans one thing to cheer about this season -- in the last few days, tons of KC fans signed a petition to get rid of the running back.
Johnson had used the homophobic f-word in verbal attacks twice in two days -- he also publicly ripped the team's coach.
He also sucks now ... so the team should be better off without him anyway.

Lawrence Taylor has a storied history of substance abuse, but Miami cops tell TMZ the NFL legend looked completely sober when he was arrested late last night.
Cops say despite his bloodshot eyes in the mugshot, Taylor -- who's been arrested twice on drug-related charges in the past -- was so coherent when he was arrested for hit-and-run last night , that officers didn't feel the need to perform a sobriety test.
As TMZ first reported, Taylor was busted after cops say he left the scene of a car accident. Cops believe Taylor hit another car and then a guard rail ... and then drove away from the scene.
We're told no one was injured.
Cops tell us when they found Taylor, he was standing outside of his car -- which was missing a front tire. The tire was found at the scene of the crash .. which means Taylor may have driven several miles on just the axle.
We're told Taylor was very cooperative when he was arrested -- he was eventually released on $500 bond.
UPDATE: We've learned Taylor was driving a white Cadillac Escalade and the vehicle he hit was a 1984 Ford van. Cops also tell us Taylor was arrested two miles from the crash scene ... where his front right tire was knocked off his car.

GLAAD has responded to Larry Johnson's apology for hurling a gay slur at reporters yesterday -- and they're hoping the ordeal can be used as an example to other players in the NFL.
President of the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation Jarrett Barrios tells TMZ: "Larry Johnson's apology sends an important message that there is no excuse for using anti-gay epithets.
GLAAD is continuing to call on the NFL and the Kansas City Chiefs to use this unfortunate incident as a way to educate and start a dialogue with players and fans regarding the dangers of homophobia in sports."
As we previously reported, the Kansas City Chiefs have already sidelined Johnson from team activities.
