Simms was also a backup passer in Denver. Simms, 31, who went to the University of Texas before being drafted in 2003 and playing in 23 games in the NFL from 2004 to 2009, is the son of quarterback Phil Simms, who played for the Giants when New England coach Bill Belichick was defensive...

  • Chris was lousy at Texas. Was lousy in NFL!Makes me wonder what Daddy has over Coach Brown from Texas to pull Major Applewhite in favor of Chris,and Coach Bellypuke to have to put up with a loser! What is Chris going to teach to pretty boy Brady? How to possible smoke or snort something! More of a trouble maker, than a positive!Guess Pats will be 8-8 at best next season.

Will Chad Ochocinco Be Back in 2012?

Via Patriots Plus  |  March 25, 2012
