▪︎ CBS to do some shake-ups for next season, Esiason, Simms out.

The Browns Board

  • Esiason  and  Simms out,  Ryan in.

    The contracts for both Esiason and Simms had expired, while Burleson and Cowher are presumably being renewed.

    Ryan joined CBS during the 2023-24 NFL after being released by the Indianapolis Colts. The 15-year veteran (who played 14 seasons for the Atlanta Falcons) was open to continue his playing career as he called game broadcasts with Andrew Catalon and Tiki Barber, but no team showed interest.

    Last week, Ryan officially announced his retirement. Knowing that he was ready to be a full-time broadcaster likely compelled CBS to add him to "The NFL Today." With him, Burleson and Watt, the pregame show now has a younger look with analysts who also engage fans and viewers on social media.

  • Aww, too bad. I actually kinda like Esiason as a broadcaster. 

  • I'm kind of surprised Bradshaw is coming back... Father Time has really caught up to him, he kind of struggles to participate now.

    Father who? Oh, that guy behind me.?‍?️??⌛?

  • It's Troy Aikman and Chris Collinsworth - have been intolerable - outside of them, it doesn't matter much....

  • I've always preferred the FOX pregame show. They keep it light.

    Plus, I just can't stand Bill Cowher. Of course, if idiot Modell would have picked him over BB id be singing a different tune?

    ★  I agree with you there Bob,   I go straight to  FOX  for all pregame news and information.  

    I'm not surprised in the Eaison or Simms not being picked up after their contracts had expired.

  • WEB2 days ago · Michael Irvin and NFL Total Access are reportedly out at the NFL 

  • Ya know, I never watch pregame shows.  I turn on a football game when it's time for kick-off.  But that's just me.

    I'll turn it on, but I'm usually farting around on the laptop and barely paying attention.

    It's usually Terry acting the village idiot and the weekly military story/commercial inside the pregame show and maybe a decent random point by Howie or Michael Straihan. 

    Not exactly must-see TV.

    I am the same way.  I might catch the final 5 minutes before the game.
