Tennessee Titans defensive lineman Jeffery Simmons has been making rounds through the media of late, and he has given us some gold. If you’ve ever watched a Jeffery Simmons interview, you already know he is a funny guy. He’s smart, he has an excellent football mind, and he is genuine.
During his appearance on the Bussin’ With the Boys podcast this week, Simmons was posed a hypothetical question.
After some discussion and banter, Taylor Lewan says, “A genie pops out of a bottle in the locker room right before the Super Bowl, and he says, ‘hey, you’re going to lose this game unless you kiss this man,’ and all of a sudden Will Compton pops up. ‘But if you kiss this man, you’re going to win the Super Bowl.'”
Simmons’s response did not disappoint.
“Blindfold me, and Will, bring your a** here.” The hosts clap their approval, and Simmons says, smiling, “It’s like Fear Factor at that point.”
