Titans star Jeffery Simmons goes off on local radio host during training camp

It was an eventful day for Tennessee Titans star defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons. On Tennessee’s first practice in pads for this training camp, Simmons was part of a scuffle that involved first-round pick JC Latham.

That happens in almost every training camp every summer. No big deal.

Things changed after practice, though. Tennessee cornerback Roger McCreary headed to an interview with local radio host Buck Reising. Reising works for 104.5 The Zone in Nashville, when all of a sudden, you could hear shouting in the background. Reising responded, “Jeff, do you want to sit down? We can talk whenever you want to talk.”

Reising was talking to Simmons, who continued to shout at him.

Reising responded, “We’re on the air right now,” and Simmons continued to shout at him.

“You do a lot of talking on social media,” Simmons could be heard saying. “I don’t want to talk to you. You’re a p—y.”

Reising responded, “We’ll deal with that later.”

Simmons continued shouting, to which Reising kept telling him they could sit down and talk, and Simmons was having none of it.

What was this about? No one knows.

At 10:27 a.m., Reising tweeted the following due to the aforementioned skirmish.

The question is, how did Simmons know this was said so quickly after practice?

Tuesday was not Jeffery Simmons’ best day.
