To cap a week in which the NFL went overboard with fines, Texas defensive end Colin Simmons did something that possibly would have gotten him banned for life by 345 Park Avenue.<\/p>\n
After one of his Longhorn record-tying five sacks against Tennessee, Simmons celebrated by pretending to urinate on the field<\/a>.<\/p>\n He seemed surprised when the officials penalized the move, with the eventual explanation being that Simmons was \u201csimulating using the restroom.\u201d<\/p>\n Coach Steve Sarkisian addressed the situation following the 20-17 win.<\/p>\n \u201cWe took him out<\/a>,\u201d Sarkisian said, via Tyler Lauletta of Awful Announcing, regarding the fact that Simmons, well, took it out<\/a>. \u201cWe addressed it, and put him back in. I\u2019m not gonna give the guy the death penalty over an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty. We\u2019ve got to fix it though. That can\u2019t continue as we move forward.\u201d<\/p>\n That part is reasonable and appropriate. Then, things got a little screwy from Sarkisian.<\/p>\n \u201cUnfortunately, in our society right now, we live in the \u2018look at me\u2019 society,\u201d Sarkisian said. \u201cAll of you guys have your Twitter accounts, and as fast as you can type something because you want everyone to look at your account, and you get clicks. Well, that\u2019s the world that we live in. So we\u2019ve got to get to \u2014it\u2019s about the team and focus on the team, and not so much \u2018look at me.\u2019 So we\u2019ll try to improve upon that, but five sacks was pretty cool today too.\u201d<\/p>\n Steve, don\u2019t simulate using the restroom on our leg and tell us it\u2019s raining. Society didn\u2019t lead Simmons to do something we\u2019ve never seen a player do, because 99.999999 percent of all players know not to do it. <\/p>\n
