If Dallas Cowboys fans are looking for a scapegoat ... we might know where to find one...

Just hours before Tony Romo's squad lost in a last second heartbreaker to the NY Giants in Dallas last night ... the 'Boys' most famous bad luck charm decided to publicly weigh in on the match-up.

Here's the message Jessica Simpson left on her Twitter page: "First home game of the season in the new stadium...GO COWBOYS!!!!!!!!"

Merriman was at the club again this past Friday -- less than two weeks after a night of partying there led to an alleged altercation with reality queen Tila Tequila.

The San Diego D.A. decided there wasn't enough evidence to charge Merriman.

We stopped Mark Wahlberg on his way to the Emmys -- in the middle of traffic, no less -- to talk a little smack about the NY Jets beating his beloved New England Patriots.

Floyd Mayweather Jr. is already bobbing and weaving -- and he doesn't even fight Juan Manuel Marquez until tonight.

Mayweather has been sued by a law firm in Las Vegas for allegedly not paying them for some legal real estate work.

They are suing for $10,000 -- plus interest and costs. Mayweather reportedly will make a minimum of $10,000,000 for tonight's fight, so 10k should be no sweat off his back.

Ben Roethlisberger's lawyer claims any idiot could figure out the woman who's accusing him of sexual assault is a fraud and he wants the judge to nail her lawyer for filing a "frivolous and abusive" lawsuit.

Andrea McNulty accused the Pittsburgh Steelers' QB of sexually assaulting her at a Lake Tahoe hotel in July, 2008. She filed a civil lawsuit a year later.

In the new legal papers, Roethlisberger's lawyer claims McNulty's attorney knew or should have known his client's suit was bogus. Roethlisberger wants McNulty's lawyer formally sanctioned by the judge -- which, among other things, could mean he would have to pay Roethlisberger's attorney's fees.

Roethlisberger's lawyer says the suit is "designed to harass and embarrass him [Big Ben] and countless other individuals," adding the explicit content in her lawsuit is designed "to stir the prurient interests of the media and public."

Roethlisberger's lawyer says even a casual investigation of the facts would have proven McNulty to be a liar. Among other things, Roethlisberger's lawyer claims McNulty told a co-worker she wanted to have sex with Ben and she wanted him to get her pregnant. She also allegedly sent an email less than 24 hours after her sexual encounter with Ben, stating she was looking forward to having dinner with him.

And there's this -- Ben's lawyer cites a letter written by McNulty's attorney, which reads in part: "Our client is currently struggling with whether or not she wants to come forward and seek criminal prosecution of the celebrity."

Ben's lawyer wants the judge to throw the book at his legal adversary.

In a well-crafted statement to NBC Philadelphia, a confident Emily Monforto explained, "I dropped the bahh."

Seriously, she's the cutest thing we've ever seen.

The video starts a few seconds into Serena's explosion -- after she threatened the judge by saying, "If I could, I would take this f**king ball and shove it down your f**king throat."

In our video you can hear her tell the line judge, "You better be freaking glad I don't do that ... you don't know me!"

Monforto was all class after the blunder -- immediately turning to comfort his daughter ... because he "wanted to let her know that ... she didn't do anything wrong." Dude also told MyFoxPhilly.com that a Phillies rep brought him a replacement ball as a souvenier later in the game.

Former Olympic gold medalist Kurt Angle dodged a bullet after his ex GF said he violated a court order by following her to a Starbucks and staring her down.

Angle -- who appeared in a Pittsburgh court yesterday -- was also cleared on charges of possessing human growth hormone ... which cops say they found in his car when they arrested him outside the Starbucks last month.

Angle convinced the judge he had a prescription for HGH to treat neck injuries -- he broke his neck back in '96.

Kurt still faces assault charges for allegedly beating the crap out of the ex-GF -- fellow wrestler Rhaka Khan. Rhaka had obtained a protective order against Angle nearly two hours before the Starbucks incident.

The notorious Mets fan was at Chateau Marmont last night, where he couldn't resist taking a shot at the Yankees ... and every other pitcher who never picks up a bat.

The war over the Washington Redskins -- the most offensive team name in professional sports -- might finally go to the U.S. Supreme Court.

A group of American Indians is asking the highest court in the land to cancel the trademarks on the Redskins team name and logos -- due to the fact that they're extremely defamatory toward Native Americans.

The American Indian group has been fighting this battle since 1992. They won a ruling in 1999 ... but the decision was defeated soon after by judges who decided they waited too long to bring their case to the courts.

The Redskins -- worth a reported $1.5 billion -- have been using the name since 1933.

Now, the Native American group wants SCOTUS to review the lower court decision -- and finally force Washington to understand why naming an NFL team after the color of someone's skin could be offensive.

King won a boxing match against former Pennsylvania PD officer Simon Aouad as part of something called Celebrity Boxing 11 -- which went down Friday at the boxing mecca known as the Philadelphia Airport Ramada.

During the first quarter of the Lions game today, the announcer, Chris Myers was talking about a player who was on the Pittsburgh Steelers last season but now plays for Detroit. He said, "Going from two Super Bowls in Pittsburgh to the winless Detroit team -- that's like going from dating Beyonce to Whoopi Goldberg."

A poker show on NBC that actually did worse in the ratings than a re-run of "Finding Nemo" is the subject of a ridiculous $85,000,000 lawsuit -- which is about a mil for each person that watched it.

A guy named Brandon McSmith claims he came up with the idea for a show where wannabe poker players compete against pros (who were hidden behind doors) for a chance to win a seat at the World Series of Poker.

Smith claims he pitched the idea to a company called Poker Productions -- but they rejected it.

Fast forward two years -- a show called "Face the Ace" popped up on NBC where contestants "select a pro from behind four smoked-glass doors." And guess who created it? Poker Productions!

The grand prize on the NBC show -- a cool mil.
