John Mayer stands up for Texas gal Jessica Simpson

Crooner John Mayer, who sporadically dated Jessica Simpson for a year before finally splitting in June 2006, defended his former lady love in a post on his blog against accusation that she had adversely affected the on field performance of NFL-star and her current boyfriend Tony Romo.


Tony had first come under flak when he played poorly on December 16 at Texas Stadium against the Philadelphia Eagles, while Jessica cheered for him along with her father and manager Joe Simpson.

More recently his team's playoff loss on Sunday to the New York Giants was linked to his vacation with Jessica and her family in Cabo, Mexico.

"I don't really follow sports, but I have played some of my biggest and best concerts in your state and having witnessed how dynamic the spirit there is, I'm betting emotions are running high right about now," Mayer writes in his blog post.

"All witty barbs, blogs, and fashion policing aside, that girl loves Texas more than you know," he continues.

"It's one of her most defining traits as a person. So please don't try and take that away from her. (You probably wouldn't be able to, but it's less work for all involved.)"

Explaining what prompted his Blog entry:

"I just thought it would mean something coming from the guy who has the absolute least to gain from this," Mayer is quoted by People magazine as saying.

"And if I'm out of line in having written it, too bad. I can spare a Wednesday's worth of bad press if it means sticking up for a good soul."
