As The Big Lead points out, with some strong evidence, the curse of the celebrity girlfriend has taken a toll on many athletes (Tom Brady, Matt Leinart and Carl Pavano to name a few) in recent years. The most current player to get struck by the affliction is Dodgers pitcher Brad Penny, who is a shell of what he was last season. And the reason for Penny's struggles? Clearly it has to be his breakup with Eliza Dushku.

On205th.com is on top of all this news and provides a very thorough timeline of all recent Romo-Simpson events.
