Breaking: Having A Famous QB Dad Doesn't Automatically Make You Good At Football

Matt Simms and Nate Montana are playing football at tiny community colleges instead of D-I powerhouses. Weird, right? I mean, they've got blond hair and famous last names. What else do you need to play quarterback? [LA Times]

What Could He Have Possibly Done Wrong?

There's no reason to speculate as to why Louisville back-up quarterback Matt Simms was suspended for four games for "an unspecified violation of team policy." None at all. It could be plenty of things. Maybe he was studying too hard for his physics exam and missed a mandatory meeting? Or perhaps he missed a couple practices due to his Habitat For Humanity work. He's a good egg. Never one to engage in any sort of rapscallion-like college hijinx or do anything irresponsible. He's a true homebody and spends most of his downtime either reading Tom Clancy thrillers or just watching "Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader?" Just puzzles everybody as to what this suspension could be about. Once the smoke clears, I'm sure this will be nothing to worry about....

Matt Simms Can Roll A Fat One (In A Slightly Different Fashion Than His Brother Can)

You might not have realized that Phil Simms actually has two football playing sons. The first is Chris Simms, of course, who was John Amaechi before it was COOL to be John Amaechi. But the second is Matt Simms, who is about to attend Louisville and has proven to be a bit of an asshead.

But the kid's got potential, and not just on the field. Kissing Suzy Kolber has found a picture, via Eagles Insider, of young Matt Simms about to roll what seems like some happy greenery for himself. We suppose it's possible that young Matt just enjoys rolling his own cigarettes; if that's the case, we suspect he has the patience and stick-to-it-iveness that is required of a big time quarterback. But we doubt that's the case.

Much credit to KSK, which actually posted this at 4:20 this morning. Now that's devotion to the cause.
