Chris Simms had already tipped off the social team at NBC and Pro Football Talk with the potential scoop.<\/p>\n
A recent phone call with his father had him expecting his father would make good on his comments that he would be open to letting Abdul Carter wear his retired No. 11 jersey.<\/p>\n
Then came a call from his sister, Deirdre, whom he told he would be fine with his father doing so.<\/p>\n
Wrong response.<\/p>\n
\u201c(She said) \u2018I thought you were going to be on my side, how dare you. Forget it, I don\u2019t want to talk to you and we\u2019re hanging up,\u201d Chris said on \u201cPFT Live with Mike Florio\u201d on Monday.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s when I knew, uh-oh, mom and sister have gotten involved here. And mom and sister have one more vote than me and brother (Matt), and I don\u2019t know where my brother stands on this.\u201d<\/p>\n
Phil asked if his son could help change his mother\u2019s and sister\u2019s vote, but ultimately, the Simms women won the battle, and No. 11 will remain in the rafters at MetLife Stadium.<\/p>\n
Carter, after being turned down by Lawrence Taylor and now Simms, will continue his quest to find his jersey number for his rookie season.<\/p>\n
\u201cI knew they threw a fit. I think it\u2019s going to the point where literally there was like, they were shedding tears. I\u2019m not trying to embarrass my mom or my sister, but that\u2019s how important it was to them,\u201d Chris said. \u201cAnd on top of that, the blowback off of that and the amount of people that came to my dad, \u2018Don\u2019t give your number up, don\u2019t do that,\u2019 I think he was a little taken aback by that. Ultimately, he\u2019s not going to do it, he got outvoted by his family, specifically his daughter and his wife, but that\u2019s where it stands right now.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Simms-Carter saga began when Phil mentioned on FanDuel TV that he thought it would be fine if he gave Carter his No. 11 jersey, and he would have no problem with doing so.<\/p>\n
Carter wore No. 11 while starring at Penn State.<\/p>\n
Chris said he told his father he would have no problem with him doing so, but advised him to call Taylor first to ensure they didn\u2019t have separate reactions that could lead to controversy.<\/p>\n
Taylor exclusively told The Post he wanted Carter to make history with his own number.<\/p>\n
Carter\u2019s agent, Drew Rosenhaus, had reached out to Chris\u2019 co-host, Mike Florio, to get Phil\u2019s number so the defensive agent could call the ex-quarterback, and Giants general manager Joe Schoen had also reached out to the Giants legend regarding the matter.<\/p>\n
Phil\u2019s wife and daughter, though, weren\u2019t having it.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy dad\u2019s texting me going, \u2018Your mom and your sister they are just killing me. I don\u2019t know if I can do it \u2018They\u2019re killing me,’\u201d Chris said. \u201cI\u2019m like, \u2018It\u2019s your number, Dad. You got to do what you want.\u2019<\/p>\n
\u201c(He said), \u2018I need your help, try to change your sister\u2019s mind,\u2019 that\u2019s what he texts me.\u201d<\/p>\n
He added, \u201cI don\u2019t think he was expecting the blowback from my mom and my sister and the rest of the family to the point of which he got here, and that made him change that.\u201d<\/p>\n
Chris said he does not know which way his brother would have voted, but suspects he may have aligned with his mother and sister.<\/p>\n
However, even if Matt had sided with his brother, Chris said those two votes didn\u2019t carry the same weight as the other two votes.<\/p>\n
He said he only learned about his father passing on un-retiring the number after being sent a tweet.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe knows the wrath of not listening to them, and how long that can go. Especially with my sister,\u201d Chris said of his mother and sister. \u201cMy sister is ruthless, like ruthless. My sister is the kind of girl, and she\u2019s all love, she loves football, she loves the Giants too. If you go to the Giants game with her and she seems somebody with like an Eli Manning jersey on, she\u2019ll go \u2018Why you wearing that, why wouldn\u2019t you get a Phil Simms jersey?\u2019 She\u2019s one of them. She really is. She\u2019s diehard to my dad. They have more votes.\u201d<\/p>\n
While Carter won\u2019t wear No. 11, Chris said the entire family is supporting him.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re rooting for Abdul Carter, the Simms family, that\u2019s for sure,\u201d Chris said. \u201cEven though he won\u2019t be wearing No. 11 he can be an honor member of the Simms family or the No. 11 club if he wants to be.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
