Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo took the loss in the NFL playoffs to the Seattle Seahawks pretty hard. The rising NFL star took all the blame for the defeat as he botched the hold on what would have been the game-winning field goal. But his life is till pretty good as he has country music superstar and former American idol Carrie Underwood to fall back on - right?

| American Idol Carrie Underwood: What Tony Romo Romance? |
Maybe not. According to the Tennessean, Carrie Underwood says her success has resulted in false rumors being reported in the press, including the report that she's dating Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo.

"I have read some of the most ridiculous things about that," she says of reports that she's dating Tony. "The first time I ever met him was on Christmas, right there on the field. Everybody was like, 'Ooh, they are together.' And then I was blamed for Dallas not winning that game. . . . He is a very nice guy and I've talked to him a few times, but we are very much not together."
The report in the newspaper notes that An Illinois newspaper reported that Tony said it was true that the two were dating. (Her publicist, who says Carrie is not dating anyone, presumes Romo was joking.)

"That was one person from one local newspaper that said that, so whether or not . . .," Carrie says. "I've read 'sources said' we met on Thanksgiving. I had no clue who he was at that time. He is probably getting a little tired of that one (the false rumor he was dating Jessica Simpson) and now he's probably tired of this one, as I am."
Ouch!
