NFL fans roast NBC analyst after Tom Brady's low placement on controversial QB ranking

Just because the NFL’s regular season doesn’t begin until September doesn’t mean passionate fans have taken a hiatus from debating controversial lists.

NBC football analyst Chris Simms is currently in the crosshairs of those fans after the 45-year-old ranked the greatest quarterbacks of all time based only on the primes of their careers.

To the shock of many fans, Tom Brady, the greatest quarterback of all time, was not at the top of that list. Simms ranked Pro Football Hall of Famer Peyton Manning No. 1.

But Brady wasn’t the No. 2- or No. 3-ranked quarterback either. The New England Patriots legend was ranked by Simms as the No. 9 quarterback that he would choose of all time in his prime.

Here is Simms' full list.

Simms was eviscerated in the comment section for his decision to leave Brady so low.

"Bro, Brady threw for 5,000 yards and 50 TD’s and went 16-0 in his prime and 14 years later he threw for 5,300 yards and 43 touchdowns. His prime lasted a decade and a half and was better than anyone’s peak," one user wrote.

The user referenced Brady’s 2007 season, when he helped the lead the Patriots to an undefeated regular season. Brady led the NFL in completion percentage (68.9%), yards (4,806), and touchdowns (50) that season.

The other season the user referenced was Brady’s penultimate season, his age-44 season, when he led the NFL in yards (5,316) and touchdowns (43).

Another user wondered if Simms had personal bias toward Brady.

"What did Tom Brady do to make Chris Simms hate him," the user posted with a laughing-crying emoji.

Another user called the list "a joke," while others used emojis to laugh at the absurdity of Brady’s placement.

A different fan questioned the criteria for the controversial list.

"I support anybody that realizes Brady is overrated. That said, what is the criteria for this? Longevity, peak? Eye test? Needs more clarity. No idea how Elway is that high," the user wrote.

One X user criticized the list, not because of Brady's ranking but because of to the exclusion of another Pro Football Hall of Famer.

"Any all-time list without the great Joe Montana is just trash and not to be taken seriously," the user wrote.

Simms did have one commenter who agreed with his ranking of Manning over Brady.

"Peyton Manning is the best quarterback of all-time and I’m tired of people acting like he’s not. Brady wanted to be as good as Manning for the first four years of his career. Brady has said so himself. Manning was absolutely unbelievable with the Colts. Brady is the best player of all-time. His achievements are clearly second to none, but Manning was the better QB," the user wrote.

Other fans took issue with the inclusion of Allen and Jackson on the list.

"Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson over Dan Marino and Tom Brady is so stupid," one user wrote.

"OMG what a joke, Lamar and Josh don’t even belong near this list…" another user posted.

A different user questioned Staubach’s presence on the list.

"Brady is 1, Montana 2. Jackson and Allen do not belong with this group. Elway should be much lower. Not sure about Staubach belonging here either," the user wrote.

Simms played in the NFL for eight seasons and spent one season as a coaching assistant for the Patriots. He played his college football at Texas.

MLB commissioner says Trump 'interested' in MLB CBA negotiations but 'will pass' on potential help

President Donald Trump has tried his hand at helping college sports, and if it were up to him, he'd probably do the same for Major League Baseball.

The league's current collective bargaining agreement expires in December, and with the sides perhaps as far apart as they've been since 1994, the 2027 season is in limbo.

Many may remember the 2022 season was delayed because of an owners' lockout after the expiration of the previous CBA that December. However, the sentiment at the time among baseball experts was, if you thought that was bad, wait until 2026.

Well, 2026 is here, and they weren't kidding. The owners, for the first time since 1994, have formally proposed a salary cap, which players have said is nonnegotiable.

Ahead of Tuesday's MLB All-Star Game, MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred spoke to reporters, and one asked whether he thought Trump would intervene in the negotiations.

Manfred did not want to "speculate" about Trump's potential involvement.

"Look, I think it would be wildly, wildly inappropriate for me to speculate what the president of the United States might do or not do in a hypothetical situation," Manfred said. "We know this. He's a great sports fan, and he is really knowledgeable about the business of sports, so it doesn't surprise me."

Manfred did say, however, that Trump is "interested," but it doesn't yet seem he wants his help.

"Behind that, I'm going to pass," he said.

Last month, Trump said it is "shocking" the league does not yet have a salary cap.

MLB PLAYERS, OWNERS AT ODDS OVER POTENTIAL OLYMPIC PARTICIPATION, INCLUDING PUNISHMENT FOR DECLINING: REPORT

"If you don't have a salary cap, you don't have a sport. They can't help themselves. In sports, they can't help themselves. Football has a salary cap. They should have done it a long time ago. I know so much about sports, they should have done it a long time ago...

"Major League Baseball — it's shocking, frankly, that they didn't put a cap on many years ago. They had a chance to do a cap, and they blew it."

The White House did not immediately respond to an email requesting comment.

Major League Baseball is in serious danger of losing games, excluding the COVID-shortened 2020 season, for the first time since the 1995 season was reduced to 144 games as the players' strike stretched into the following year. The 1994 postseason was even canceled, and the sport was hanging by a thread.

Now, baseball is seeing another boom, as rule changes implemented by Manfred have helped games move more quickly, bringing more fans into ballparks. Attendance could increase for a fourth consecutive year for the first time since 2004-07. It is not currently on pace to do so, but the summer is still young.

"The best way to lose momentum is to stand still," Manfred said.

Earlier this year, Trump held a college sports roundtable and signed an executive order focused on "saving college sports." Unlike the NHL, NBA and NFL, MLB has never had a salary cap.

Who is Darline Graham Nordone? Lindsey Graham's sister emerges as Trump's Senate pick

Tragedy built a strong bond between Darline Graham Nordone and her brother, Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C.

Tragedy is once again striking its bell, this time with the sudden passing of her brother and father figure. And now, she’s being considered to replace him in the Senate, just over 24 hours after his death.

President Donald Trump and Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C., both want her in the role, and sources have told Fox News that Scott has been speaking with her about filling in for the remainder of Graham’s term.

TRUMP MAKES SURPRISE PICK TO FILL GRAHAM'S SENATE SEAT

Trump is pushing South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster to appoint her, announcing that he recommended the governor tap Graham’s "wonderful sister" to serve out his term as a caretaker.

"This would be a fabulous tribute to Lindsey, who loved her dearly," Trump said on Truth Social.

McMaster is slated to announce his pick Monday afternoon in a news conference that Scott is also expected to attend.

If he does tap Nordone, it would be a temporary selection. In the background, private jockeying is already happening to succeed Graham as the GOP nominee in the Palmetto State.

The filing deadline to succeed Graham and run for a full six-year Senate term opens July 21 and a special election primary is scheduled for Aug. 11. Many South Carolina politicians have expressed interest in the job, seeing the vacant Senate seat as a once-in-a-generation opportunity to serve in the upper chamber.

Meanwhile, Nordone has never held public office, unlike her brother, who served in Congress for three decades in both the House and Senate. Nordone is a mother of two and worked in a vocational rehabilitation role that specifically helped people with disabilities find employment in South Carolina.

GRAHAM'S DEATH IGNITES GOP SCRAMBLE FOR SENATE SEAT AS TRUMP HINTS HE ALREADY HAS A FAVORITE

And whether she’s ready to accept the position remains unclear.

"Actually, I’m just kind of like devastated right now," Nordone told the New York Post shortly after Trump’s announcement.

Nordone and Graham shared a unique bond, too. Graham was in his early 20s when both their parents died within less than a year of one another. That tragedy pushed him to become her primary legal guardian and caretaker, thrusting him into the role of father and brother to his younger sister.

"Of all the things that have happened in my life, her turning out so well is the highlight of it by far," Graham told C-SPAN in 2015.

FROM 'DISGRACE' TO 'FAMILY': TRUMP'S REMARKABLE JOURNEY WITH LINDSEY GRAHAM

Nordone highlighted the outsized role Graham played in raising her after the death of their parents. After becoming her legal guardian, he enlisted in the Air Force to allow her to qualify for his military benefits. She later credited him with ensuring that she completed high school and college.

"He’s kind of like a brother, a father and a mother rolled into one," she told The New York Times in an interview in 2015.

Nordone was a frequent presence in Graham’s campaigns during his decades-long career.

"My parents, they were loving people and cared about us, but Lindsey was always the one that took care of me and helped me with my homework," she said in a campaign spot titled "Darline." "If I was sick, he gave me my medicine. He taught me how to ride a bicycle."

"He never let me down," she continued. "To take on that responsibility of raising a little sister — that came from within for Lindsey."

Texas DoorDash driver gets hit by a car fleeing from police and still delivers the order

A Texas DoorDash driver didn’t let the pain of being struck by a car keep her from delivering an order. A less dedicated driver may have seen the police chase headed their way, hopped back in their car, and canceled the order.

This heroic delivery driver did not. She was knocked onto the hood of the car driven by an alleged burglary suspect who refused to stop during an attempted traffic stop.

Understandably, she dropped the order. But only for a moment.

While the suspect, identified by police as Torrance Whitaker, was fleeing from the car and making a run for it, the DoorDash driver slid off the hood and picked up the order which had landed in the street in front of the car.

She then proceeded to complete the delivery while officers gave chase to the man now jumping fences and running through the yards of the Houston neighborhood.

"I was on the phone with my husband, and I just hear somebody crash. So I'm like, wait a minute, I heard something from police. When he came out from my door, I think it was HPD parked on my mulch, like what happened here!," witness Lily Portillo, whose cameras caught the action, told KTRK.

"It's amazing how the girl just delivered the food. I asked her if she was OK, and she said she was OK. She needs a big tip. I really hope somebody finds her and hope she's OK."

After being chased through several yards, a Houston Police K-9 eventually catches up to him, and he's arrested.

The court documents, according to the outlet, state that Whitaker was charged with aggravated assault for hitting the delivery driver with his car while fleeing from police.

KTRK spoke with the DoorDash driver. She, like the hero that she is, didn’t want to be identified. She is in a lot of pain, but avoided breaking any bones. She's also looking into filing a claim against the suspect's insurance.

What a story of dedication. This order was being delivered if the delivery driver was physically able to do so.

There's very little hesitation. It's more of a moment to collect herself, then she's back to the business at hand. Truly impressive work.

Mamdani ripped over record-high NYC rents with critics pointing to policy they say is fueling crisis

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani is facing renewed criticism over housing affordability as rents in Manhattan and Brooklyn hit record highs, with conservative commentators arguing that immigration-driven demand is adding pressure to an already tight rental market that the mayor campaigned to ease.

Manhattan's and Brooklyn’s median rents reached $5,295 and $4,350, respectively, in June, according to an analysis conducted by the Corcoran Group, a real estate firm. The most recent available data shows roughly 38% of New Yorker residents were born outside the United States, and about 40% of rentals in the city are occupied by foreign-born individuals, though the data does not distinguish between legal and illegal immigration status.

"You declared yourself a sanctuary city. You ‘welcomed’ hundreds of thousands of illegals. Then you had to find places to put them," conservative radio host Andrew Wilkow wrote on X, reacting to news of increased rents. "That put pressure on housing supply. Shortages create price increases. It's pretty simple."

BIDEN'S ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION SURGE CAUSED HIGHER RENT AND HOME PRICES, FED STUDY FINDS

A 2003 paper published by the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia found that immigration "pushes up rents and housing values in destination cities," with an immigration inflow equal to 1% of a city’s population associated with about a 1% increase in average rents and housing values. More recently, a paper published by the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas in March found that a 1% increase in illegal immigrants working in a given area corresponded to a 1.4% increase in rental prices because localities did not build enough new housing to match population growth.

Both papers reflect the authors’ findings and do not represent official positions of the Federal Reserve System or its regional banks.

"Young Americans compete for housing with millions of foreign arrivals," Rep. Brandon Gill, R-Texas, wrote on Monday in response to the rent data out of New York City.

'AMERICAN HOUSES ARE FOR AMERICAN PEOPLE': TRUMP HOUSING CHIEF INSISTS IMMIGRATION CRACKDOWN WILL LOWER COSTS

Between 2020 and 2023, the most recent years available, the share of renter households associated with foreign-born New Yorkers rose from 37% to 40%, according to the New York City Housing and Vacancy Survey. The data does not distinguish a resident's legal status, making it unclear whether illegal immigrants represent an increased share of renters.

New York City Comptroller Mark Levine, responding to news of rising rents on Sunday, recommended that the city rezone neighborhoods to allow more homebuilding, invest in affordable housing development, and cut construction regulations to increase housing supply and bring down costs.

Conservative lawyer Mike Davis responded to Levine’s recommendations by asking, "How about deporting illegals?"

AMERICA'S HOUSING MARKET COULD RUN OUT OF SOMETHING MORE IMPORTANT THAN HOMES

The White House claims that declining rental costs in the South and Southwest have been caused by its deportations, a claim disputed by critics who point toward broader market conditions. A March 2024 academic study found that deportations could actually increase overall housing prices by harming the construction industry, though the authors conceded that removing illegal immigrants could also cause housing demand to come down somewhat.

Mamdani campaigned on addressing New York City’s housing crisis by freezing increases for rent-stabilized tenants, building 200,000 new affordable homes and expanding tenant protections. Since taking office, he has successfully frozen rents on rent-stabilized leases, released a housing plan aimed at building and preserving 400,000 affordable homes and moved to expand rental vouchers.

"Zohran Mamdani ‘froze the rent’ and served himself some taxpayer-funded cake," Red State writer Bonchie posted to X, referring to Mamdani's celebrating the rent freeze with cake earlier this summer. "Then rents hit an all-time high, vacancy rates reached the highest since COVID, and he proposed a 20% raise for himself. Incredible stuff."

Critics argue that rent freezes will lead to increased prices for everyone else and disincentivize property owners from doing more than the bare minimum to maintain units that they aren’t being paid market rate to rent.

Mamdani’s office did not respond to a request for comment when reached by Fox News Digital on Monday.

Dad and his kids think they've captured Bigfoot on video after spotting something in the woods

A dad out for a drive with his kids claims to have caught a Bigfoot on video hanging out in the woods alongside the road. Skeptical? So was the dad at first until he drove past the area of the supposed sighting again.

Since the video of the purported Bigfoot was posted a few days ago, it has more than 17 million views. It shows a wooded area next to the road, then a dark figure standing among the trees as the vehicle passes by.

"My kids screamed they saw Bigfoot and were freaking out," the text on the video posted on TikTok reads. "So I turned around thinking they're full of crap. They weren't."

STEVEN SPIELBERG ADMITS HE'S BEEN CONVERTED ON UFOS, SAYS HE BELIEVES THE BELIEVERS

Incredibly, this visual evidence attracted many doubters. They're not sold on the figure in the viral video being that of the elusive hide-and-seek champion as some have labeled the creatures.

Doubters like this who are apparently expecting Bigfoot to pose for the video. They wrote among the thousands of comments, "You really tryna tell me that, in 2026, your phone camera has qualify so good that I could count the leaves on any given tree, yet somehow you managed to record specifically JUST BIGFOOT on a 1990s flip phone camera."

Another skeptic wrote, "Always filmed on a potato."

BIGFOOT IS A NEANDERTHAL-HUMAN HYBRID, ACCORDING TO THE MAN WHO CLAIMS TO HAVE FOUND REMAINS

There were even claims that the dark figure seen in the video was nothing more than a yard display. They expect you to believe that someone purchased one of these displays and set it up in the woods.

Others chose to buy what the video is selling. They took one look at the figure and knew that what they were laying their eyes on was in fact a Bigfoot. They've seen them before.

One of the believers wrote, "you know it's him because he's mid stride and blurry."

DECLASSIFIED APOLLO MISSION UFO FILES CHALLENGE LONG-RUNNING MOON LANDING CONSPIRACY THEORIES

The blurry sentiment was shared by many and explained by at least one who weighed in with, "Apparently they are Interdimensional beings. They give off a high vibration which affects the camera quality."

Some saw more than one Bigfoot, which puts them in a special class. A member of this group of commenters watched the clip more than once and concluded, "I watched the video a few times, there is more than one."

Is it Bigfoot? Are there more than one? Is this nothing more than a yard sign planted in the woods to scare children? I'll let you decide.

Let me know what you think sean.joseph@outkick.com. Also, feel free to share your own Bigfoot stories and/or encounters.
