Former NFL Star, Longtime Announcer Phil Simms Lands New Job
Former NFL Star, Longtime Announcer Phil Simms Lands New Job originally appeared on The Spun. 39 seasons ago New York Giants quarterback Phil Simms led the team to their first-ever Super Bowl title. In the decades since he retired, Simms has been working in broadcast media and for many years was part of CBS' No. 1 broadcast team alongside the legendary Jim Nantz. But Simms' contract at CBS expired after the 2023 season and last year he was working outside of the national sports spotlight. However, for the 2025 season he'll have a brand new job covering the sport he loves. The new job According to Newsday, Simms has been tabbed to work with NBC Sports covering college football games this fall. Per the report, he'll be serving as an analyst for three to-be-determined Big Ten football games on NBC's Peacock streaming service. Simms has both history and connections with NBC Sports. He previously worked for the network in the mid-1990s before embarking on his multi-decade run at CBS. His eldest son, Chris Simms, is currently one of the network's top analysts and has served as Mike Florio's co-host on ProFootballTalk Live. A mixed bag on commentary Simms isn't exactly beloved for some of his analysis though as he sometimes comes across as ignorant on the players he talks about. The most recent case that got on peoples' nerves was his coverage of New York Jets quarterback Brady Cook during Saturday's preseason game against the Giants. Simms remarked that Cook didn't have any help and couldn't find much success while he was playing at Missouri, which got a number of college football fans pissed off at him: "You'd think some of these guys should know something about college football but they don't," one user on X remarked. "Yes, because back-to-back, 10-win seasons and 2 bowl victories screams no talent. Sheezh!" wrote another. "Routinely amazed how awful some CFB takes are from NFLers," a third said. "Mizzou had by far the best offensive line in the SEC and also had a great receiving corps. Their weaknesses on offense were exclusively the QB and RB play." You can't please everybody and judging by this reaction, Simms might find his way under the skins of college football fans in the months to come too. Former NFL Star, Longtime Announcer Phil Simms Lands New Job first appeared on The Spun on Aug 19, 2025 This story was originally reported by The Spun on Aug 19, 2025, where it first appeared.

Barry Switzer says the Cowboys' off-the-field activities were 'none of our business'
Barry Switzer says the Cowboys' off-the-field activities were 'none of our business' originally appeared on The Sporting News The last time the Dallas Cowboys won a Super Bowl was 30 years ago in 1995. By then, head coach Jimmy Johnson was gone, and so were his strict rules, so players ran amok. A perfect example of this is the Cowboys' infamous White House, where players would go to party. Former Cowboys great and Hall of Famer Michael Irvin talked about what took place in the 'White House.' Irvin was the 'president,' and he laughingly recalls the infamous house in the Netflix Cowboys docuseries America's Team: The Gambler and His Cowboys, which premieres today. 'We was like, 'Man, we spend a lot of money for these hotels, all of these women,' ' Irvin recalls. 'So then we said, 'Let's do a house.' ' There were not only women but drugs and plenty of alcohol as well, and while Irvin took his fill of all the dobouchy, a lot of his teammates missed Johnson because, unlike head coach Barry Switzer, who took over for Johnson that '95 season, he knew how to keep players like Irvin in line. Former safety James Washington recalls about Switzer: 'A lot of guys liked him because now the guys felt like they had freedom. Barry came into that locker room, the dynamic, the accountability, the work ethic — that had changed.' Switzer didn't think the players off the off-field activities were none of his business. He explained his philosophy when it came to his players. 'Those guys live on the edge,' the now-87-year-old says in the series. '[They're] supposed to be adult men, married, most of 'em. You know, really it was none of our business; they're adults.' Neither Troy Aikman nor Emmitt Smith liked that philosophy, and they've expressed how they felt about Switzer's handling of the team over the years. Especially, Aikman, who was not a fan of Switzer. 'It was a stark contrast to anything that had happened in the first five years,' Aikman recalls, while Johnson was head coach. 'I just remember thinking things are different, going forward.'

NFL Fans Give Immediate, Unanimous Opinion On FOX's New Scorebug
NFL Fans Give Immediate, Unanimous Opinion On FOX's New Scorebug originally appeared on The Spun. FOX debuted a new scorebug ahead of the 2025 NFL regular season on Sunday evening. The network is airing a preseason game between the Chicago Bears and the Buffalo Bills on Sunday evening. FOX is using Sunday night's preseason game as a bit of a tuneup for the 2025 regular season. The network has decided to debut its new, sleek scorebug during the Week 2 preseason game. NFL fans, unsurprisingly, have a lot of thoughts on the scorebug. NFL fans have quickly taken to social media to weigh in on the new scorebug from Fox Sports, which debuted on Sunday evening. FOX first unveiled its new scorebug during Super Bowl 59 between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles back in February. At the time, fans took issue with the scorebug, as no one likes big change. The new scorebug has been tweaked a bit heading into the regular season, with the network unveiling the new version on Sunday night. "Fox officially tweaks the NFL scorebug they debuted at the Super Bowl, most notably replacing the team abbreviations with team logos," Sports TV News & Updates shared on X. NFL fans have a unanimous opinion on the scorebug It's safe to say that NFL fans hate the new scorebug with a passion. "My conclusion here is that the idea of going minimalist is an interesting one that I think could look really cool if you do it right. I just don't think they did it right. The fonts are too thick and bold and the down/distance with the play clock hovering over the logo and score, I just don't agree with how they did this. When they first went minimalist back in 2017 I wasn't a big fan but I learned to appreciate the look over the years. Hopefully this is another acquired taste," one fan wrote. "Not to be that guy but Fox's newscorebug might be the worst in sports history," one fan added. "The FOX scorebug tweak is a major improvement from the Super Bowl! Still don't love it, but it is much better," one fan added. "This is quite literally the worst scorebug ever why did they run it back," one fan added. FOX made minor adjustments from the Super Bowl 59 scorebug While the scorebug is new, it's not that different from what it looked like during Super Bowl 59. A side-by-side comparison of the scorebug shows that a couple of things have been eliminated from the Super Bowl 59 scorebug - mainly the background of the team logos. NFL fans will have some time to adjust to this one, as the 2025 regular season is still about three weeks away. Clearly, though, a lot of fans are bothered by it.
