Simms Discusses Altercation With ESPN Analyst

After his altercation with ESPN analyst Desmond Howard at the NFL Experience in Dallas on Saturday, CBS talking head Phil Simms discussed the incident with radio host Chris Russo on Sirius XM on Monday.

According to a posting at sportsgrid.com, , Howard reported in a series of four tweets that the CBS commentator threatened to hit him for calling Simms’ son, Tennessee University quarterback Matt Simms, one of the worst quarterbacks in the SEC.

“During the season we talked about the Tenn. vs LSU game and I said ‘u will see 3 of the worse QBs in the SEC’ That’s what Phil did not like,” Howard tweeted Saturday, before mentioning that the incident ended with police involvement.

Simms told Russo he was annoyed with Howard for making the incident public, but took part of the blame, saying he should have known not to get involved. However, the former Giants quarterback declined to get too specific.

The only thing he seemed willing to elaborate on was that he “learned (his) lesson and it’s just, you’ve got to always be, just got to be smart at all times. You know how it is in life for everybody now. You can never let down for one second.”
