VERSUS
DALLAS -- 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. "At NFL-Xperience and Phil Simms just threatened 2 hit me b/c I said his son was 1 of the worse QBs in the SEC. I told him "LET'S GO! I am DEAD serious about the Phil Simms thing. We all thought he was joking, but he kept going and said he wanted 2 take a swing at me!! It ended w/police stepping in between so I could continue my appearance w/fans."
Am I the only one that desperately wants to see this grudge match play out? Pretty sure Desmond would have a rough time in the beginning cause Simms is one huge bitch, but would eventually get the upper hand after clobbering him with his Heisman trophy. And why is Simms so peeved about this anyway? His son is a back-up QB at Tennessee. Desmond was just calling a spade a spade.
