Candice Crawford

Tony Romo Engaged to Candice Crawford

The Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo has been in and out of gossip headlines for the past few years now for his relationships with noteworthy women. Now the headlines can focus on just one woman.

The currently injured star quarterback decided to pop the big question to girlfriend Candice Crawford on Thursday night. The quarterback proposed to Crawford at five 60 in Dallas, according to KDAF television in Dallas (you can check the rock out there), for whom Crawford works as a reporter. 

Crawford is also a former beauty queen, having won the Miss Missouri United States of America crown in 2008 and competed in the Miss USA pageant. The couple's engagement was reported by TMZ, as well.

The 2 were celebrating Crawford's 24th birthday when she said yes.

Jason Garrett

Garrett takes Cowboys reins from fired Phillips

Jerry Jones fired Dallas head coach Wade Phillips on the Monday and promoted offensive coordinator Jason Garrett to take over the Cowboys (1-7) on an interim basis. Defensive line coach Paul Pasqualoni replaced Phillips as defensive coordinator.

Jones, the Cowboys' owner-general manager, decided enough was enough following a 45-7 loss to the Green Bay Packers on Sunday nighttime. It was the Cowboys' 5th straight loss and they've allowed at least 35 points in 3 straight games, which had not happened since Dallas went 0-11-1 in its inaugural season, 1960.
