Even Derek Jeter can learn something new about the game of baseball.

When the former New York Yankees captain joined the Fox Sports roster for the 2023 baseball season, he recalls, he had to find his way on camera. “I didn’t know what to expect. They just threw me at the desk,” Jeter says while holding forth with his colleagues Alex Rodriguez, David Ortiz and Kevin Burkhardt, in a makeshift lounge set up for them among the executive offices at New York’s Citi Field. One time, he remembers, “someone started talking to me in my ear and I almost answered them on the air.”

CBS is dealing with another primetime shakeup. This could affect the viewers who look forward to their favorite dramas and comedies. Keep on reading to learn more.

CBS Reveals Huge Shakeup

A major shakeup is taking place at CBS. The first took place on The NFL Today show. The show’s hosts Boomer Esiason and Phil Simms announced they won’t return in Fall 2024.

Both of them are moving on to different ventures. Boomer was the first to announce his departure. He broke the news on his morning radio show, Boomer and Gio.

“For the last two months, you know, I’ve been trying to figure out what I wanted to do and where I want to be. I am stepping away from The NFL Today on CBS, more their decision than maybe mine, but I really thought that the Super Bowl was my swan song,” Boomer said.

He will continue his radio show.

It was time.

Boomer Esiason seemed almost relieved as he discussed his departure this week from his The NFL Today cohosting duties, saying he was planning on leaving anyway.

It was announced this week that Esiason and former New York Giants quarterback Phil Simms will no longer be on the show.

Esiason said Friday during an interview on The Dan LeBatard Show that he is trying to find a better work-life balance.

“I was more than happy to step aside. I had my time there,” Esiason said. “I loved that seat. I cherished that seat, I cherished talking to football fans every Sunday, but there comes a time when you have to find some time for yourself. And this was the right time.”

Esiason, 63, announced on his Wfan morning show last week that he was ‘stepping away” from CBS’ flagship NFL show. But he has signed a long-term deal to...

CBS has confirmed a major shakeup is happening on the fan-favorite show The NFL Today. Two icons that have appeared on the program for years won’t be returning in the fall.

Keep reading to see what’s next for Esiason and Simms, plus who is going to take their spot on The NFL Today.

A shake-up on The NFL Today. Boomer Esiason and Phil Simms are both leaving the longrunning CBS pregame show, with Matt Ryan set to join fellow co-hosts James Brown, Nate Burleson, Bill Cowher and JJ Watt, the network confirmed

Esiason announced the news Monday morning on his Wfan radio show, saying that his 22-year run had come to an end.

Boomer Esiason and Phil Simms will exit CBS’ long-running “The NFL Today” studio show as part of a revamp that brings former star quarterback Matt Ryan into the program’s line-up.

The CW has scored a pretty big get — a partnership with the NFL — as it continues to push into sports programming.

The network will be the new home for the long-running Inside the NFL, a weekly highlight and interview show that recaps the previous weekend’s action using footage from NFL Films. The coming season will mark the show’s first on a broadcast network; the past two seasons aired on streamer Paramount+.

“We are excited to partner with NFL Films and welcome Inside the NFL to the CW Sports family,” said CW president Dennis Miller. “For almost five decades, Inside the NFL has been an industry leader in showcasing can’t-miss weekly highlights, unprecedented behind-the-scenes content, exclusive access to players and lively discussion.

The “NFL on CBS” broadcast crew may have delivered brilliant insights at halftime of the AFC Championship game today between the Cincinnati Bengals and Kansas City Chiefs.

Unfortunately, it was almost impossible to hear what they had to say. That’s because the halftime show music from country artist Walker Hayes overpowered the sound levels in the broadcast booth.

Massive speakers for the Hayes show at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City were positioned right behind the mobile set where the CBS analysts were pontificating. That made it almost impossible to discern anything said by host James Brown or analysts Phil Simms, Bill Cowher, Nate Burleson and Boomer Esiason.

At one point, Esiason said: “I didn’t hear anything you just said.”

The network shares some of the blame. During the regular season, halftime analysis emanates from a studio in New York, where the sound and lighting can be controlled. However,...

It is tradition for the Super Bowl Mvp to be asked what his next move is. They always reply, “I’m going to Disney World.”

Not this year.

The question will still be asked. But the Orlando, Fla. theme park isn’t holding its traditional post-game parade this year wherein the winning player appears on a float. It’s the pandemic, you know.

The commercial tradition began in 1987 with New York Giants quarterback Phil Simms, who reportedly was paid $75,000 to respond to the question.

The ads usually play the song When You Wish Upon a Star over action shots and crowd reactions. The culmination is the off-camera announcer asking the player, “What are you going to do next?”

The player responds “I’m going to Disney World!”

Disney World has not had parades since it reopened last summer. Disneyland in Anaheim, Calif. remains closed.

Showtime is out with its list of everything new coming to the premium cable platform in October, and the list includes the limited series “The Good Lord Bird” starring Ethan Hawke as the abolitionist John Brown.

EA Tiburon announced today that the commentary booth in Madden NFL 17 will feature two new voices this season. Replacing last year’s duo of Phil Simms and Jim Nantz will be the team of Brandon Gaudin and Charles Davis.

Set to move to the Big Ten Network later this year, Gaudin has been covering the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets since 2013. Additionally, he has provided coverage of several sports on Westwood One Sports, and will even have the chance to call a few live NFL games this season.

A former defensive back for the Tennessee Volunteers, Charles Davis brings both knowledge and experience to the Madden NFL 17 commentary booth. Working for both Fox and the NFL Network, Davis has seen his profile rise over the past few years.
