    I bow in your general direction.

    yup, you are correct, sir, my bad. totally blanked on phil going off when someone questioned chris simms 'toughness.' the charge was absurd but phil's reaction was surprising given all the other stuff chris was being picked apart about...

    but your second point, that phil is 'an ass, plain and simple,' is NOT correct, sir. and you know what? as far as mistakes go, if phil's worst after many years as the top nfl analyst for cbs is that he went off a couple of times defending his sons, well, that doesn't earn him 'ass' statusarg; it just means he's very protective of his sons, a charge he need not have to apologize for, imo.

    does his alleged behavior saturday require an apology to howard? absolutely -- it was neither the place nor the time to confront desmond.

    Those "sirs"; does it mean the same thing it does when Lou Piniella and Keith Olbermann use it?

    I will say, that while Simms was a little thin-skinned on this one, at least he went to Howard and stepped to him like a man. Howard going to twitter and saying "bring it on," or "I'm right here" is a pretty pussy move. If he was "right here," he would gone at with Phil right then.

    Be a man, Desmond. Right or wrong, at least Simms acted like one.

    Going up to someone and threatening to punch them is not being a man. It's being an asshole.

    Worrying about what someone else is saying, whether about your son or anything, is being an a-hole.

    Don't worry about what someone else says.

    Desmond should have gotten a snowball.

    Sorry. I've been directly behind Phil in a line at Newark Airport when his flight to Kansas City was delayed, and he treated the check-in individual like mouse feces. After that display, he took a seat, glowering at everyone like a 4-year-old who just got his juice box snatched. Pouty, pouty.

    Simms would land 20 of 25 punches, but they'd all be dink-and-dunk body shots. Howard, after doing nothing for 20 minutes, lands one haymaker and wins.

    But I agree that Phil has little argument about his son and the comment Desmond made.

    To Phil's credit when he appeared on Mad Dog live he did own up to Howard dust up and said it was a mistake on his part.

    He could have easily gone the root of saying it did not happen.
