The 29-year-old was stopped in Manhattan at about 1:30 a.m. Thursday. Police say he appeared to be slurring his speech and his eyes were red, and appeared to have been smoking marijuana.

Chris Simms has been on the bubble of being out of the NFL for a while now. I am thinking this was the pin that popped it. Talk about a QB killer.

I don't know why I heard Butthead's voice when I read this.

I was just trying to search for the perfect video too. That was funny.

Can't wait to see this thread get filled with stoners who argue that driving stoned isn't really driving impaired :ols: Should be entertaining.

I just had court last week for the same charge. Recalcitrant cops. They couldn't charge me with possession b/c of my card so they charged me with a DUI instead.

The Department of Justice wrote to the prosecuting attorney saying that although she could prove I had metabolized THC in my system, there's no body of evidence that correlates certain THC thresholds with impairment.

Lacking scientific tests, you are left with the subjective opinion of the cop. And having failed the FST sober, I can attest that FSTs are not a good measure and are easily manipulated.

That said, my judge was very adamant that my case was not about if I had smoked pot or not, but rather if the DA could prove I was impaired or not. The judge used the analogy that you could have a couple glasses of wine with dinner and be safe to drive. Much to the DA's chagrin, the judge held her to the measure of proving I was impaired.

The DA couldn't prove ****. The DoJ gave an opinion that the DA didn't have a case. Case dismissed. *******s.

Regarding the Simms matter, the same measure applies: the cop needs to prove Simms was impaired. Red eyes and odor, please, that doesn't make one impaired. They pulled that slurred speech with me and I was sober. And who the hell slurrs when they're high, I don't know anyone who does.

It all sounds like a bunch of bull**** predicated on the subjective opinion of what is obviously another recalcitrant cop.

I'm tired of the mutha****in jackin

Sweatin my gang while I'm chillin in the shackin

Shining tha light in my face, and for what

Maybe it's because I kick so much butt

I kick ass, or maybe cuz I blast

On a stupid assed &quot;n-word&quot; when I'm playin with the trigga

Of any Uzi or an AK

Cuz the police always got somethin stupid to say

Remember the controversy a few years back when Steve Young and Phil Simms had a little war of words? This was via their NFL tv shows on opposing networks.

The spat followed Young's comments about the intelligence of Chris Simms as a QB.

Steve Young should get a chuckle out of this.

Personally, I don't mind if players smoke weed, but I don't want my QB getting busted for it.

If any other position player gets busted I don't care as long as he's not suspended.
