To cap every week through which the NFL went overboard with fines, Texas defensive finish Colin Simmons did one thing that presumably would have gotten him banned for all times by 345 Park Avenue.
After one in every of his Longhorn record-tying 5 sacks towards Tennessee, Simmons celebrated by pretending to urinate on the sector.

He appeared shocked when the officers penalized the transfer, with the eventual rationalization being that Simmons was “simulating utilizing the restroom.”
Coach Steve Sarkisian addressed the scenario following the 20-17 win.
“We took him out,” Sarkisian stated, through Tyler Lauletta of Terrible Asserting, concerning the truth that Simmons, nicely, took it out. “We addressed it, and put him again in. I am not gonna give the man the demise penalty over an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty. We have got to repair it although. That may’t proceed as we transfer ahead.”
That half is cheap and acceptable. Then, issues acquired a bit of screwy from Sarkisian.

“Sadly, in our society proper now, we reside within the ‘take a look at me’ society,” Sarkisian stated. “All of you guys have your Twitter accounts, and as quick as you’ll be able to sort one thing since you need everybody to have a look at your account, and also you get clicks. Effectively, that is the world that we reside in. So we have to get to —it is concerning the crew and concentrate on the crew, and never a lot ‘take a look at me.’ So we’ll attempt to enhance upon that, however 5 sacks was fairly cool at this time too.”
Steve, do not simulate utilizing the restroom on our leg and inform us it is raining. Society did not lead Simmons to do one thing we have by no means seen a participant do, as a result of 99.999999 p.c of all gamers know to not do it.
Nonetheless, we might love to listen to how Sarkisian would clarify a equally perverse celebration that was not penalized. Virtually as a lot as we might love to listen to the reason of the foul.
