The Week That Was
Obligatory Sports Babe 
Repeat Offender Week, a look at women who can't stop dating athletes, ends with Jessica Simpson. In addition to her current fiancée, former 49ers and Saints tight end Eric Johnson, she also dated Tony Romo for a while back in 2007-09, and was somehow blamed for Romo's inconsistent play.
Today's Sports Birthday
Washington Wizards forward Ronny Turiaf turns 29 today. Turiah may not have had the most storied NBA career, but the man had open heart surgery prior to his rookie season, and has still played six years in the league after the fact. That's pretty impressive.
Quotable
Former NFL quarterback and an ex-New York Jet, Boomer Esiason, sounded off on Rex Ryan, Mark Sanchez and the Jets on Boston radio Wednesday morning. Via ESPN New York:
"If you watched Mark Sanchez the last month of the season, he was like a chihuahua standing on Madison Avenue and 36th Street entering the Midtown Tunnel, eyes bigger than you-know-what, and just so shaky.
I think that Rex Ryan's ways have come back to haunt him. And Mike Tannenbaum ... has a lot of responsibility in this regard, because they have put a lot of bad guys together in this locker room. There's a good core of players for the New York Jets. But unfortunately, all it takes is one guy. And Rex Ryan giving Santonio Holmes the captain's 'C' on the chest was an absolute embarrassment. It's a slap in the face of all the good guys in that locker room."
