Sleepless over Shanahan?
Simms sleepless after horrid opener: Former Longhorn takes heat for poor play in Bucs' loss (Rick Stroud, St. Petersburg Times)
Sleep did not come easily to Chris Simms.
After his stunningly poor performance in a 27-0 loss to the Baltimore Ravens, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback kept punching his pillow.
Tampa Bay quarterback Chris Simms is taken down by Baltimore's Ray Lewis during the Bucs' opening-game shutout Sunday. Simms threw three interceptions, and his team didn't score a point.
When he would nod off, he was shaken awake by the memory of his three interceptions.
Soon, the number rose to six. Then 12. And still no final buzzer from the alarm.
"You know, I sleep. But 5 o'clock in the morning rolls around and I wake up just like everybody else does for a couple seconds and I get visions of Chris McAlister running down the sidelines," Simms said Wednesday of the cornerback who returned a interception 60 yards for a touchdown Sunday. "Things like that. That's the honest truth. I fall back to sleep eventually, but it's not the most peaceful dreams in the world.
I think he was really dreaming about Kyle Shanahan.
