CBS studio host James Brown recently expressed disappointment in the stunning “NFL Today” departures of colleagues Boomer Esiason and Phil Simms last month.
During an appearance on the “Sports Business Radio” podcast this week, Brown said “there’s sadness” over the shakeup at the CBS show, which added former Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan and Texans legend JJ Watt.
“You know what, and I’m sure you know this, it’s a family,” Brown said. “I would be disingenuous that there wasn’t some disappointment because (Simms and Esiason) have been family for decades. Literally, just about decades. Boomer and I worked together for a long period of time. They’re hard-working guys.”
