Chris Simms

Simms is in a hospital under critial status for some reason. I just heard it. Docotrs at the game though he was dehydrated at the game but apparently not.

 

Peter King just said, on the NBC pregame show, that he spoke to the GM of the Bucs and Chris Simms isn't in critical condition. I am anxious to hear what is going on though.

 

I believe ESPN dot com said Simms had an emergency spleen operation. Best wishes and speedy recovery, Chris.

 

A ruptured spleen - and he came back in the game and lead a TD drive. Pretty impressive.

So, now the knock on him will be he chokes in big games and his spleen ruptures. Hope he is ok, as long as he is starting, one less team in contention

I just read on NFL.com that Reggie Wayne's brother was killed in an accident while driving a delivery truck. This kind of news really puts the game into perspective. I hope Chris and Reggie can find some peace and rest tonight.

 

I give Simms credit. He took a lot of hits and came back and Tampa nearly won. He's proven in my opinion to be tough with this. From what I heard he's doing well.

 

I guess Simms is out for the season now? I've never even heard of the guy they plan on starting going forward.

Time to get Jeff George on the phone, maybe?

 

I guess I'll have to drop him on fantasy team. In all seriousness I hope he's ok.

 

Maybe George Bush can cure this too

the soonest he will be back is december at the earliest

 

This sucks for him, he finally seemed to be coming on, I wish him the best of luck and a healthy return.

 

I was wodering why he had to have emergency surgery. Hope he get better soon looks like he was starting to get into a grove

 

Thats a blow to the team :-/

 

this really sucks for him and the Buccs he was in his contract year and he is not looking good at all especially with this emergency surgury hope he gets better cause teh Buccs may not show him the money if he doesnt comeback and lead them to some wins

 

I heard a report this morning that he had been released from ICU, but will remain at the hopsital.

 

this could be a huge set back for the team...i thought they would be able to contend for a playoff spot actually too

 

Bruce Gradkowski, the rookie out of Toledo, will start. This guy is really really nervous, his first preseason game he threw up. I think Gradkowski's first two games wont be good at all, and likely end up with a loss, unless that bucs D steps up. Gradkowski playing at Toledo, didnt face that many complex defenses. He is going to take a couple weeks to relax, and ready defenses.

 

threw up for a preseason game i wonder what he is thinking now... i wish him luck, i'll be rooting for the Buccs this week just cause i wanna see him succeed
