Phil Simms' son reveals mother, sister blocked Giants great from giving retired number to Abdul Carter

Phil Simms, the legendary New York Giants quarterback, and his family have been wrestling with the notion of letting the team’s first-round pick, Abdul Carter, wear his retired No. 11 jersey. 

While Simms himself said he would be open to letting Carter wear the same number he wore at Penn State, the women in his family ultimately shut it down. 

Chris Simms, Phil’s son and current NBC NFL analyst, broke down the debate inside his family circle on "PFT Live with Mike Florio" on Monday, when he said "shedding tears" actually came for his sister, Deidre, and mother, Diana.
