Quote of the Day (by Phil’s Lucky Son)

Chris Simms says his relationship with Tampa Bay Buccaneers coach Jon Gruden is irreparably broken and is seeking a trade or his outright release, the St. Petersburg Times and Tampa Tribune reported.

Simms, who suffered a ruptured spleen during a game in 2006 and spent most of 2007 on the injured reserve list, is sitting out the team’s workouts this week and not sure he will attend next week’s minicamp.

It is totally broken.   And it kills me to say that, because the Bucs have been great to me; the fans have been great to me … But the relationship between me and coach Gruden — it’s broken. It just is. And I don’t see any way it’s going to get better again.” [ESPN]

Said Gruden about the Simms comment, “Go cry to your famous daddy, Chrissy.  Welcome to the real life of an NFL footballer.”  No, he didn’t really say this, but if he did, we would post a picture of Coach Gruden, along with a web shrine in his name,  permanently embedded into the Juice homepage.
