Parade arrangements are still forthcoming, but this we do know: a Manhattan jury acquitted former QB Chris Simms of driving under the influence of marijuana after under two hours of deliberation, DNA Info reports. After shockingly not deploying the "Rasta Defense," Simms had his friend testify earlier today that he was actually The Smoker, and not Simms. Clearly, the system works; which is what Simms is conveying with this hand gesture.

Chris Simms' Stoned Driving Trial A Clinic In Friendship
As promised, former quarterback and reanimated corpse Chris Simms trotted out his friend, Charlie Granatell, to tell the court that Simms' arrest for driving under the influence was all just one big, hilarious misunderstanding.

Chris Simms' Stoned Driving Trial: Fasten Your Seatbelts
Facing charges of driving under the influence of marijuana, the trial of former Titans quarterback Chris Simms began yesterday with arresting officer Frank Acosta testifying that the son of Giants legend Phil Simms was "very, very unsteady on his feet" after being pulled over on West Houston street last summer, the Daily News reports. This was fairly vanilla compared to the things Acosta said during a pre-trial hearing, among them that the smell of marijuana was "coming from his breath. I had a headache. Even my tongue got numb
He was like a zombie." While we can't vouch for marijuana's ability to morph into garlic, we can say that Simms' mug shot is a tad damning. Maybe he's squinting because his future's so bright? Oh.
Don't Badmouth Former Giants Star Phil Simms' Kids
Former Giants QB and current CBS sports analyst Phil Simms is a very proud father. So when former Packers receiver/returner Desmond Howard made fun of his son Matt, a quarterback at Tennessee, earlier in the college football season, Simms waited for the perfect opportunity to defend his son's honor. And he chose to do so yesterday at an NFL Experience event in Dallas. And Howard tweeted all about it: "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!!" Considering some of the things we've written about his other son, zombie Chris Simms, we hope we don't run into Phil at any charity events soon.
