WCBI says video will be shown on the 10:00 news tonight.

NOXUBEE COUNTY, Miss. (WCBI) — A standout Noxubee County football star and Mississippi State signee is apologizing after video showing him hitting a woman several times Thursday evening surfaced.
The above picture shows Jeffery Simmons and another female striking a woman.
In a Facebook post Saturday Simmons says he takes full responsibility for his actions and apologized to the Taylor family and Sophia Taylor.
It’s not certain if Taylor is the woman being struck. Simmons says he lost his temper after remarks were made about a deceased family member and he was defending his family.

Simmons also says, that is still not a reason to take the action he did.
Law enforcement is aware of the incident but so far Macon Police have not responded to calls for comment on the incident or have said if any criminal action will be taken .

It'll be sad to see March come to an end if you're a State Beat Writer (or moonlighting as one like Huge Kidderbooger).

Oh Kellenberger is sitting with a massive erection, a dozen chocolate Easter eggs, and his laptop writing about how the NCAA should investigate MSU for Lack of Institutional Control. Seriously you just know he is!!!

After watching the video it's pretty bad. He throws three or four punches to a lady on the ground. It didn't appear to me that they were blows looking to kill the lady and he backed off and held back another lady after about the first ten seconds. I guess after watching fight videos online this appears mild but it could possibly jeopardize his future with us. I'm not sure if charges were filed.

And now every OT in the SEC will know what to say to Simmons to get him to flip out and get himself ejected from the game. Stupid reaction / stupid behavior.

It's a wonder any of these kids are ever able to better themselves. It's just a never ending cycle for some of them.

If he gets arrested for this and we don't allow him to come here, he won't be eligible to play in the SEC.

I'm pretty sure that beating up a woman is going to fall under that rule. The fact that it wasn't his girlfriend or wife won't stop the SEC if that's what they want to do.

To fish, I don't know, the first thing we need to see is if he'll actually be arrested. If he is, it would be difficult to keep him I would think. If no charges are pressed, then he'll be here.

Too many Black Rebel Shark Land Bear Racists in Haiti right now. If we send Simmons down to Haiti they will just---well not "last minute flip him to Ole Miss" but they will "2 months past Signing Day flip him to Ole Miss".

From the video that shows the beginning of it all, it looks like he initially tried to break up the two women by dragging one away from the other. Then for some reason he starts punching before backing away.

Terrible.

It's an old video while Croom was still the coach - won't affect anything. It's actually good news for State.

Any idea why the altercation was being recorded? Do people run around taking videos of everything nowadays? Or was it some sort of security video?

Look on YouTube. Thousands of videos like this, people sense a fight starting, they pull out their phones.

Even if no charges filed, I think he will be redshirted at a minimum. May even have to go JUCO. But I don't see him playing for us anytime soon.

I watched it and was expecting much worse. I don't think he will or should be kicked off the team he has not even joined yet. If he is the Bears will be glad to reform him.

You were expecting worse than a dude that is 6'4" 260lbs punching a woman while she was laying flat on her back?

All too easy to film these fights, I think these things used to happen in the past but we just never heard or saw them because back then the Phone, Computer, and Video Camera were 3 separate things.

But then the Phone, Computer, and Video Camera all went out one night got drunk and had a threesome---and had a Cell Phone baby 9 months later.

Very unfortunate,the worst thing we could do iskick Simmons to

The curb. Put him in a positive environment and make him a better man. If he continues to screw
up then that's a different discussion.
