Cabo - one of the great luxury golf destinations on the planet - has been taking a lot of flak lately. All because Dallas Cowboys quarterback/starlet boytoy Tony Romo spent an excused break there with Jessica Simpson before choking away another playoff game.

Cabo was taking digs even before Romo followed up his Bill Buckner act in last year’s playoffs by going sail-pass happy and directing the NFC’s highest scoring team to a whopping 17 points Sunday at home as a heavy favorite. Greg Norman wants Tony Romo to give him a call. Wait, The Shark also won big ones. Leon Lett wants to give Romo a pep talk. Wait, Lett won that ring despite that gaffe. The Buffalo Bills feel for Romo. Wait, Buffalo actually made it to Super Bowls.

Tony Romo is in a realm of sports losers all his own. Along with America’s most pathetic fans - those bandwagon, star-loving Cowboys backers who started making excuses for this game a week early.

By blaming it on lovely Cabo (Ok, maybe the lovely Simpson took a little more heat, also undeserved). Instead of coming to grips with the fact their quarterback is an overrated dofus, the modern day Jeff Spicoli from Fast Times at Ridgemont High, they fixated on his vacation spot and made it impossible for Simpson to attend the game. When they should have just accepted Romo’s feeble nerves.

This has become such big news that TravelGolf.com’s own Tim McDonald will even probably hear about it in another week. Two tops.

Lay off Cabo. And Jessica.

Romo’s an idiot, sure. But not for taking his three-day break in Mexico’s luxury corridor. That’s brilliant. Going there with Simpson’s parents tagging along - including the creepy dad who infamously glowingly praised his daughter’s breasts in an interview ("You can’t cover those suckers up!” is just one of the lines he used, no joke) - is moronic. Who goes on vacation with the parents of a girl they’ve only recently started dating? And then according to tabloid reports spends much of the trip rubbing that girlfriend’s butt right in front of those parents?

And Romo not getting caught by the tabloids golfing in Cabo is completely asinine. Romo’s a golf nut. I once missed him by 10 minutes at the Cowboys Golf Club in Dallas. (Yes Jerry Jones, or his son, have a golf course that’s everything you expect - except for how good it is).

You’re in Cabo, Romo. Take your hands off Simpson’s behind for a moment and get out to Nicklaus’ Cabo del Sol Ocean Course.

No wonder this guy cannot make a good pressure decision in the pocket. He can’t even make the right vacation choices.

Though if this ends up keeping all those underemployed, unwashed, mom’s-basement-dwelling Cowboy fans who are as close to real fans as Joan Rivers’ face is to authentic out of Cabo forever, it’s a win-win.
