UT haters (and yes, I'm among that group) can begin sharpening their knives:

Former Texas QB Chris Simms was arrested for driving while impaired by drugs — apparently his car reeked of marijuana. In the passenger seat: his wife, who is eight months pregnant.

Nice.

OK, Mr. Pony — I teed it up for you. Knock it out of the park.

Titans backup QB Chris Simms arrested in NYC

By COLLEEN LONG (AP) – July 1, 2010

NEW YORK — Tennessee Titans backup quarterback Chris Simms says police mistook a comment about smoking cigarettes as an admission that he'd been smoking marijuana before he was stopped while driving in New York City.

Simms was released without bail after his arraignment Thursday on charges of driving while impaired by drugs. He's due back in court Aug. 23.

Simms, the son of former New York Giants quarterback Phil Simms, didn't enter a plea. But outside court, he called the case "very weak."

Police and prosecutors say Simms was red-eyed, slurred his words and smelled of marijuana when stopped early Thursday in Manhattan. A court complaint says the 29-year-old told an officer he'd been "smoking marijuana in the car earlier."

Defense lawyer Nathan Semmel says Simms acknowledged merely smoking cigarettes.

The 29-year-old was stopped in Manhattan at about 1:30 a.m.

Simms was awaiting arraignment in Manhattan Criminal court. Calls to his agent and the Titans weren't immediately returned.

Simms started 16 games during his six-year NFL career. He came to the Titans after playing for the Denver Broncos for a season as an unrestricted free agent. He was a third-round draft pick by Tampa Bay in 2003.

In 2006, Simms had emergency surgery to remove his spleen, which ruptured during a game against Carolina.

His father is now an announcer and analyst for CBS Sports and led the Giants to two Super Bowls, playing 14 seasons with the team.

So Simms was a bust as a college QB, now he is smoking in front of his pregnant wife? Sounds like so far he is a bust as a father.

I understand this is spleen therapy for Simms, medicinal weed.

Stallion has been dispatched to New York to plead yet another stoned 'Horn's case. "This school is intelligent beyond all imagination," he said. "They understand how it's done in big-time college football. You wanna win - or make grades and pass p!ss tests?"

"Mack has smelled the stuff on his players and in the coaches' offices since he got to Austin. He thought it was bat droppings from under the bridge."

"DeLoss gets high all the time. So what?"
