"Do not open an e-mail from Phil Simms in front of your kids"
The person who made the comment is Jim Nantz, a sports announcer for the CBS televison network. He was making a guest appearance in the "How I Met Your Mother" series.
Phil Simms is a former quarterback for the New York Giants football team. After he retired from football he also became a sports announcer at CBS where he currently works with Jim Nantz.
During his career as a sports commentator Phil Simms has made an embarassing sexual comment or two on national TV.
The reason that you would not open an e-mail from Phil Simms in front of your kids is that the e-mail might contain a sexual comment inappropriate for children.
Of course, it is a joke; Jim Nantz and Phil Simms are good friends. Unless you watch CBS football and know the history of Phil Simms and Jim Nantz, the joke would simply make no sense to you.
