Glad those old farts are gone from TV. They brought nothing. Should have paid more for Jason Kelce and liven up that old show.

I’d rather listen to Boomer than Cowher. That guy hasn’t said anything of substance in 15 years.

I can’t believe mother****ers wanted him when we hired Reid.

I’m dreading Tom Brady being at fox or wherever that is.

I think the network suits are too scared of unpredictability. They either want a suit who is careful about every word or someone off their rocker. It's easy to blame a crazy guy for saying crazy things. They don't like polished guys who can be predictable. Which is why mcafee took sports Media by storm

Hell, I like Boomer.

Funny. I thought the same thing

Outside of salary, I am not sure Ryan is an upgrade either. Would have loved to see Jason Kelce on there though.

I try to think of what redeeming value any of the crew from that show has...

Tired of Cowher's schtick....grizzled old defensive coach...

Simms and Boomer.....their supposed back and forth got old real quick. Nothing of value.

Nate Burleson is the "fluff" reporter telling all the "feel good" stories I really don't care to see.

Not sure I feel like Matt Ryan would provide anything more himself.


I guess JJ Watts staying is OK....

I don't go out of my way to view pre-game pontificating - but catch some of it in the last 10 minutes before a game or between games. Both these guys are likable, but rarely add much insight. Phil S. is bland as mayo on white bread. Boomer is occassionaly interesting. As said, there are just too many commentators for any one of them to have time to be interesting.

Yes, NFL sets look like the head table at an Italian Wedding. They make about $640,000 per syllable. Less yammering, less TMZ, just show highlights, numbnuts.

Soooo...the network version of Adam Teicher and Frank Boal

People still watch these shows? These stiffs haven’t taught us anything since Al Gore invented* the internet.

I liked Sims as a color guy - haven’t watched enough of any studio show on any channel to have an opinion since the 90s. They bring nothing to the table.

I am morbidly curious to see how he'll do broadcasting...I can see it going any number of ways.

He's also replacing Olsen who's pretty much beloved by everyone and seen as one of the best color guys on TV so there's that.

That'll go away quicker than a boner in a Turkish prison

I get they have an audience from Alabama to NY to Utah etc. so I get playing the middle to not offend anyone. But, in doing that they create a very boring show, ESPN and the NFL networks morning shows are also playing nationally better and they seem to not be so boring.
