The network announced Monday that 2016 league MVP Matt Ryan will be joining the cast of "The NFL Today," while longtime veterans Phil Simms and Boomer Esiason will not be returning.

They’ve pushed Simms out all the way from calling the games with Nantz lol

Now, I don’t have to be confused on which one is Boomer and which one is Simms. They used to confuse me all the time lol.

NBC needs to replace Chris Simms. He’s terrible.

Simms' ego was out of control. When he got moved out of the booth he felt like he was above the rest of the guys at the desk. And his assault on anything Esiason said/did got old pretty quickly.

Even if Ryan sucks, this is an extreme act of addition by subtraction.
Now, if they could find a Nate Burelson replacement, it would take it to another level. Time to clean out all of the dead wood on that studio show.

Nate isn’t going anywhere. He’s CBS’ Michael Strahan as he’s one of the lead anchors on their morning show as well

I'm hard-pressed to recall the last time I watched a pregame show, particularly on CBS or Fox.
The vague insight/analysis combined with the fake guffawing is unbearable. I get more matchup insight from pro/amateur youtuber accounts.
90% of the talking heads & color commentators from the 80s & 90s really have no business breaking down 2020s football, outside of maybe PFF owner Chis Collinsworth. The game did a 180 since they last played and their anecdotal situational game recounts are irrelevant.

They need to go all TNT basketball.
Who would be their Chuck and Shaq?

Same.
With fantasy football and sports betting, I will typically only tune into ESPN's fantasy show so I don't miss any injury news/updates.
After that it's RedZone for 7 hours.

Great question. I think Cam Jordan DE for the Saints) would be a great add for that type of format.

And yet Doris Burke gets to help call NBA games and is incredibly cringy to listen to.

He pushed himself out from calling with Nantz when he pushed those farts out

Would have been nice to get rid of Chris Simms instead. Dude is worthless

Pregame shows are too long, there are too many of them and there are too many people on all of them.
