ET was with TONY ROMO at his practice today and the Dallas Cowboys quarterback answers questions about his rumored romance with BRITNEY SPEARS and about his alleged love connections making headlines.

"I think [it] sometimes goes with this position," he said of the rumors. "Being the quarterback ... you're at the same place with someone else and people just run with it now. It's happened a few times now, two or three times where people just say, 'You're dating whoever.' [It was] JESSICA SIMPSON last year, you know? So it's just the position I guess in some ways. And you just learn that and shake your head every once in a while and you move on."
