On this episode of Simms Complete, hosts Matt Simms and his father, legendary NFL quarterback Phil Simms, kick off training camp season by reminiscing about the old days of NFL training camp life versus the luxuries enjoyed by today’s players. The conversation is full of anecdotes from Phil’s playing days with the New York Giants, including stories about tiny dorm beds, ashtrays in lockers, and linemen smoking during halftime in the 1970s and 80s. The Simms duo then dive into their firsthand observations from Giants training camp, with a heavy focus on the quarterback room: Russell Wilson’s leadership and play, Jamies Winston’s potential, and the progress of Jaxson Dart and Tommy DeVito.
Later, they transition to New York Jets camp news, including analysis on the recent injury to Justin Fields and the depth/potential of Tyrod Taylor stepping in. The conversation covers broader NFL storylines such as Cam Ward’s emergence in Tennessee, Caleb Williams’ rookie year outlook, and the impact of elite coaching on young quarterbacks.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
