What are the prevailing reasons on why Phil Simms has not been inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Asherkobin ( talk • contribs) 23:46, 29 January 2016 (UTC)
Phil Simms is as fine a person as you will ever meet..... Ron Henke —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.1.116.225 ( talk • contribs)
I think this cleans up the article a bit. It still has a lot of NPOV issues, but at least it is better formatted. It would be appreciated if someone could come forth with more sources so that it adheres to Wikipedia guidelines. Thanks and comments/advice appreciated. 70.21.216.202 22:18, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
I removed this, as it's OR:
"Simms is known for his warm, conversational broadcasting style (as well as his tendency to say "eem" in place of "him" in his Kentucky accent), which has endeared him to many football fans who tune in every Sunday. However many football fans dislike his aggressive speaking style where he seems to be moderately yelling during analysis. Despite this Simms is respected and admired in the broadcasting industry."
I'm going to convert the referencing to a manual format, if anyone disagrees please let me know. I'll wait a while before doing so to see what if someone objects. Quadzilla99 08:14, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
Okay, I re-formatted the refs, added a stats table, expanded the article and nominated it for GA, which passed. Looks pretty good. Quadzilla99 10:35, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
I removed this info in lieu of a source:
A review has been requested for this article regarding the passing of the GA nomination due to the following concerns:
Considering this table is here, it seems redundant and unnecessary to clutter the article with these same statistics.
21 has a format error.
I feel that this is a well-written article, but that it was not adequately reviewed. If it had been, it would have been put on hold until issues were resolved. Perhaps my reviews are overly thorough compared the the reviewer of this article, but I feel that improving articles to GA status improves Wikipedia, thus all reviews should be thorough. I hope you find this review helpful. Regards, LaraLove Talk/ Contribs 07:36, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
Is there a rationale for hiding wikiproject coverage the way it's being done now? At least with the banner shell, people can see the projects at a glance without having to click anything. I don't have the time to read a long discussion right now. What are the reverter's reasons for reverting? Stevie is the man! Talk • Work 04:45, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

This article has been reviewed as part of Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles/Project quality task force. I believe the article currently meets the criteria and should remain listed as a Good article. The article history has been updated to reflect this review.

Hi, this is a warning that the personal life information in this article is messy. Any biography that is of GA standard must have at organised paragraphs describing the persons life outside of their field for which they are famous or otherwise incorporate that information elsewhere in the text. Some of the information provided in this article is messy, appearing in a sequence of stubby unconnected sentences rather than properly organised paragraphs. As a result, it does not give enough context for the incidents and information that is mentioned. For an example of how such a section might look, see Brian Urlacher and for pointers on how to expand and improve the section, see this guide. If this information is not improved then this article would be unlikely to survive a Good Article Reassessment and may well be delisted in the future. Thanks-- Jackyd101 ( talk) 10:37, 30 January 2009 (UTC)
I've got no biases in either direction regarding Simms as a player, announcer, or person, but, in the opening para, I think it's a stretch to call his collegiate career "standout." He finished with a third more interceptions than touchdowns and a completion percentage under 50% (though he did set that yardage record). Still, though, the first para in the "Early life" section on his collegiate career actually states "Simms' numbers at Morehead State were unspectacular." Unspectacular seems a much more accurate assessment than standout.

Information that Simms won the 1986 NFL MVP award has been recently removed from and then re-added to the infobox by a couple of different editors. After looking at National Football League Most Valuable Player Award, it appears that multiple MVP awards were awarded for 1986 by different organizations and that Simms did actually win the "Newspaper Enterprise Association NFL MVP award" for that particular year. Does this distinction need to be made in the infobox and cited, especially since there does not appear to be any mention of it in the article itself? -- Marchjuly ( talk) 08:11, 16 December 2016 (UTC)
