NBC’s Chris Simms Blasts Off On ESPN’s ‘SportsCenter’ Using Expletive Words
Chris Simms has seen online satire of his heated comments for a while now. But the former NFL quarterback isn’t going to take it any longer since he’s had enough of ESPN’s social media accounts utilising his quotes to gain influence.
Chris Simms argued for players like Josh Allen, Joe Burrow, and Patrick Mahomes to be ahead of Jalen Hurts in the MVP race earlier this season, saying, in part, “If you put [Eagles backup quarterback] Gardner Minshew [in for] the Eagles, they’d still be really damn good.” Simms complained that “SportsCenter’s” Instagram page was “throwing it back in his face” as Minshew has struggled for the Eagles since Hurts’ shoulder injury and Minshew has been the starting quarterback.

NBC’s Chris Simms Blasts Off On ESPN’s ‘SportsCenter’ Using Expletive Words
“If you put [Eagles backup quarterback] Gardner Minshew [in for] the Eagles, they’d still be really damn good,” Simms said.
However, Philadelphia has seen its first slump of the season as Gardner Minshew II has taken over as the team’s quarterback while Hurts is sidelined with a shoulder injury. Minshew has passed for 663 yards, three touchdowns, and three interceptions in the Eagles’ last two games, losses to the Cowboys and most recently, the Saints on Sunday.
Chris Simms on Hurts being MVP front-runner: “They have the best O-Line in football, 2nd best WR duo, a great TE.. There’s just no way he’s more valuable than Mahomes, Allen, or Burrow, no way. If Minshew is in, the #Eagles are still damn good. I’m sorry.” pic.twitter.com/B6qfzihrBn

Chris Simms did not hold back after seeing one of ESPN’s Instagram accounts take a jab at his take.
“Jalen Hurts makes them better—I know that!” Simms said. “F— you, ‘SportsCenter’ Instagram for putting it out there again for the third time in like three weeks, f— off. Really, f— off. Seriously. They didn’t put my quote from after the Cowboys game, but they’re gonna wait till the game yesterday.”
"Like, f*ck off. Like, really, f*ck off ESPN SportsCenter."

After Chris Simms’s expletive-filled rant, he challenged the global sports network to let him make his voice heard on its flagship show.
“Let’s have a f—king conversation if you really want to get into this, ‘SportsCenter,’’ Simms said. “Invite me on, ESPN, you scared little babies They’re scared. They don’t want any piece of me.”
It sounds like the NBC Sports analyst is ready to defend his take, hot as it might be.
