CBS analyst Phil Simms admitted Saturday to getting in a "heated" conversation with ESPN college football analyst Desmond Howard at the NFL Experience exhibit in Dallas. Howard, who said on his Twitter account that he was taking part in an appearance with fans, was confronted by Simms over Howard's comments about Simms' son, Matt, who is a quarterback at the University of Tennessee. Prior to Tennessee's game against LSU on Oct. 2, Howard said on ESPN that "you will see three of the worst quarterbacks in the SEC in the game," a list that included Matt Simms. On Saturday, Phil Simms confronted Howard about the comments. "Desmond and I were having a private conversation that became heated," Simms said in a statement released by CBS. "But at no time was there ever a chance of any physical confrontation, or that I felt the police officer assigned to me by the event planners for my appearance needed to separate the two of us." Howard, who was the MVP of Super Bowl XXXI with the Green Bay Packers, said on his Twitter account that Simms threatened to throw a punch. Source: USA Today
damn phil, howard's job as an analyst is to give his opinion. if his opinion is that matt simms is not good, then he has the right to say it. i hope you say something negative about someone some day and they pummel your butt the next time they see you in person ..................
He really is. He was a douche as a player and is an even bigger douche now. He treats people like crap and acts as if he's the greatest QB to ever live and is the smartest man alive. McLovin' on the Dan Patrick Show a while back said that Jay Cutler wasn't an elite QB and Phil Simms basically called him a moron. Well, we all see how that's working out. I wish someone would sack him off the set. Douche.
Yea I don't know how Howard refrained from punching him his freaking douche face. Props to Desmond, his willpower is greater than mine.
word on the street say, simms sucked as a NFL QB anyhow,,, so why should his son be any diffrent, his daddy taught him everything he knows.. now F off
First Craig James....now Phil Simms. Is the NFL going to reach out to TV personality former NFL players and give them a support group? Freaking bleeding heart NFL.... and yeah, Simms is an butt.
