Tony Romo's Off-Season Goal -- Soccer

Published | Updated

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo is risking serious injury -- and possibly his $67 million contract -- and it's all for a secret, indoor passion. Dude plays in an adult recreational soccer league.

TMZ has confirmed that Romo participates in an indoor 6-on-6 league in Texas -- a league that even requires players to sign an injury waiver ... even though slide tackling and the use of cleats are strictly forbidden.

We obtained footage from Tony's most recent game -- and dude doesn't look too bad ... in fact, he even scored a goal.

As far as the Cowboys are concerned -- they're not. A rep for the team tells us, "He's been playing in off-season basketball and soccer leagues in the area since he became an NFL player, so it must not be something that is in his contract."

No word if Jessica Simpson is allowed to attend games.

Wayne Newton's Wife: Get Your Mitts Off My Stuff

Published | Updated

Wayne Newton's wife is trying to separate herself from her husband's major money issues -- she just made a legal move to keep her stuff from being seized by a man who Wayne owes in a big way.

TMZ obtained court documents filed by Kathleen McCrone Newton in which she declares that all sorts of stuff she keeps at Wayne's Las Vegas estate -- like art, clothes, jewelry, instruments and even a library -- are hers ... and hers alone.

In the docs, filed Tuesday in Nevada, Kathleen claims she's staking claim to all of her crap because Wayne's former pilot Monty Ward is trying to collect a $500,000 judgement against the singer -- and just last week, Ward sent a moving truck over to Newton's place to try and collect Wayne's assets.

Now, Kathleen wants to make sure Monty doesn't take her crap away when Ward's truck comes back to collect again ... whenever that may be.
