Simms will join host Christopher "Mad Dog" Russo each week for Simms and the Mad Dog, an hour-long program where the duo will discuss the news from the league that week and preview the coming weekend's matchups. Simms will make his debut on Thursday, September 7 (4:00-5:00 pm ET). Thereafter Simms and the Mad Dog will air every Friday at 4:00 pm ET. SiriusXM's Mad Dog Sports Radio (channel 82) is available nationwide on satellite radios and on the SiriusXM app.
"I am really excited to be on SiriusXM this season," said Simms. "I am a longtime listener so I know it is a great place for fans who love to talk about the game, and having an hour of airtime each week will really allow me to dive in to the topics that are important to me and the fans. And I have to say I have always enjoyed being on with the Chris, even back when I was playing, so teaming up with him will be a lot of fun. Simms and the Mad Dog…it has a nice ring to it!"
"With 15 seasons as an NFL signal caller and 22 more analyzing the league from the broadcast booth, Phil's knowledge of the game is extraordinary and so is his ability to communicate his insights and opinions to the fans," said Steve Cohen, SiriusXM's SVP of Sports Programming. "We are very excited to add his voice to Mad Dog Sports Radio this season. Phil and Chris are a fun on-air team and will give our listeners a very informative and entertaining 60 minutes of radio every week."
Following his playing career, Simms began a successful broadcasting career that saw him work as an analyst for ESPN and NBC before joining CBS, where he was lead NFL analyst for CBS's NFL coverage for 19 seasons. He has called eight Super Bowls in his time with NBC and CBS. This season he will be a studio analyst for CBS' NFL Today, Showtime's Inside the NFL and CBS Sports Network's Monday QB.
