Simms: Miami partying no biggie

Phil Simms says Odell Beckham Jr., Victor Cruz and fellow receivers Sterling Shepard and Roger Lewis partying in Miami six days before a playoff game against the Packers is no big deal.

“I know it’s gonna be a big story, win or lose it is, but I mean this with all sincerity, what it means to the game and how they’ll perform, I must say it will be a big fat zero,’’ Simms said Thursday morning on the “Bernie and Sid Show’’ on WABC Radio.

Simms, the former Giants quarterback and current CBS analyst, knows plenty about this time of year, about playoff football and also about teammates who knew their way around a party or two.

“Did it happen when I played? Sure it did,’’ Simms said. “My wife says ‘Well, you came home.’ Well yeah, I wasn’t going to hang out somewhere, I had to come home. I had a wife and kids. “They’re gonna do what they do. To think that they’re just gonna sit in their rooms and their houses and prepare for the next game, c’mon, let’s be realistic. They didn’t do it when I played and they’re not doing it now.’’

Special teams coordinator Tom Quinn recalls Lawrence Tynes missing two field goals, but making the game-winner in the 2007 NFC Championship game at arctic Lambeau Field. Tynes kicked a frozen football in that game, but the Giants won’t go to such measures in practice this week.

“No, because you can bruise your feet,’’ Quinn said. “We will kick normal balls and kick cold balls when we have to.’’

An unnamed Giants player has filed a grievance with the National Labor Relations Board against the NFL Players Association, according to NLRB records. The player is accusing the union of failing to follow up on his unspecified grievance against the Giants.
