LET'S PEEK INSIDE TONY ROMO'S NEW HOUSE, SHALL WE?

Not bad for a neighborhood gate house, eh?

   I'm not a big fan of "Who's wearing what?" or "Keeping up with the Joneses." But I am, alas, a huge supporter of the Cowboys in general and much-maligned, always-underrated Tony Romo in specific.
   So ... let's bend the rules, crane our necks and check out the quarterback's new house.
   We all know Romo moved out of his old house in the Cottonwood Valley neighborhood of Irving and is selling the 5,500-square foot joint for a cool $1 million. As for his new address?
   I haven't seen his new digs with my own eyes, but got a couple of sources who have been on the  property and inside the home in the far North Dallas community of Glen Abbey near Bent Tree Country Club.
   The key, cool statistics:
   *12,000 square feet
   *Three stories
   *A spiral slide that lands on an indoor basketball court
   *A back yard that features a glass-enclosed spa and sauna
   Sounds like a pretty swanky playground for sons Hawkins and Rivers, and not a bad place to entertain or relax for Tony and wife Candice.
   The locale, of course, makes total sense. For now it's a quick drive up the Tollway to the Cowboys' new headquarters at The Star in Frisco. And, when Romo retires, he can simply meander down the street to play his beloved golf on one of the Metroplex's best courses at Bent Tree.
   Don't have a price tag, but - relatively speaking - it sounds like a modest place. In 2013 the quarterback signed a contract worth a whopping $108 million. One of his peers - guy named Tom Brady - recently sold his moated mansion in Los Angeles and moved into a $50 million castle outside Boston.

Cowboys' QB Tony Romo and Wife, Candice, Expecting Child No. 2

   Cue the punch lines: Tony Romo will have more kids than playoff wins.
   Got a call from a Cowboys' source in Oxnard Wednesday night. We were talking about the quarterback's health, his training camp performance and my column defending him from an asinine attack by a former Houston Texan. Near the end of the conversation he blurted out something about Tony's "new arrival." Wait, what the what?!
   Sure enough, Romo and wife Candice Crawford just recently found out they are pregnant for the second time.
   Crawford, the former pageant queen who married Romo in Dallas in May 2011, gave birth to Hawkins in April 2012. The quarterback was the proudest of papas when he showed off his bouncing boy at training camp in Oxnard last summer.
   Don't worry, haters, this second pregnancy shouldn't be a football distraction as - according to my sketchy math and flimsy grasp of the process - the child will be born next May before the Cowboys get too serious about the 2014 season. But no denying the fact that Romo's two kids will outnumber his lone playoff success - a win over the Philadelphia Eagles in the 2009 season.
   We probably shouldn't expect a formal announcement from the couple. Romo casually revealed pregnancy No. 1 during a visit to Cedar Hill High School.
