"All of the sudden one day I get a text from Kyle's wife, Mandy," Simms recounted, "And it's like, ‘Oh no, Kyle’s been a part of some horrible accident.’ And she sent us some pictures right off the bat, and it was like, ‘Oh my gosh.’"
Nick Bosa is happy to see Ryan Clark out of the job at ESPN -- the San Francisco 49ers star woke up from social media hibernation to weigh in on the move ... two years after the analyst criticized him for wearing a MAGA hat after a game.
Bosa -- who last tweeted four years ago -- shared a single "OK" hand emoji in response to the report of Clark getting laid off earlier this week ... a clear sign Smaller Bear is just like an elephant, 'cause he never forgets.
Nick Bosa just crashed the post-game interview wearing his gold and white MAGA hat.
The beef between the two goes back to October 2024 ... when Clark teed off on Bosa for rocking a white "Make America Great Again" hat as he crashed Brock Purdy, George Kittle, and Isaac Guerendo's postgame interview with NBC's Melissa Stark on "Sunday Night Football."
Tight End University is getting ready to watch Travis Kelce marry Taylor Swift ... and before the big wedding bash, the NFL studs hit up a gym to get in a workout.
George Kittle, Robert Tonyan, and Zach Ertz were spotted on their way to a gym on Friday in New York City ... squeezing in one last pump before their fellow NFL tight end ties the knot.
Hopefully George didn't get too swole here ... he's got a blue suit he needs to wear in a few hours ... and if he bulked up too much, he might not fit!!!
San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle and his wife Claire just confirmed they'll be on hand to see Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift tie the knot ... but they don't know where they're going!

Check it out -- the Kittles spoke to Entertainment Tonight at George's sixth annual Tight End University he hosts with cofounders Travis and Greg Olsen ... and they confirmed they're heading to the wedding.
But, they said they have no clue where the big celebration will be held ... and are only confident that George will be in a blue suit.
As we reported ... Taylor and Travis rented out New York City's Madison Square Garden for at least 3 days in July, with the wedding celebration expected to fall on July 3. They dished out a pretty penny for the venue -- our sources tell us it cost millions ... and comes with a 1,000+ guest list.
Until then, Taylor and Travis seem to be out and about, living their normal lives following what appeared to be their bachelor and bachelorette weekends -- Taylor even took over the stage tosing "Love Story" at TEU Tuesday night.
Aldon Smith didn't have any notable health issues before he died suddenly last week ... so says the barber who just cut his hair.
We spoke with Tee Maultsby -- Aldon's barber who interviewed him on an episode of his "Laced Up" podcast -- said he even joked with Aldon recently that the dude still looked like he could dominate on the defensive side of the ball.
Tee says Aldon never said anything about being sick to him -- on or off camera -- and he says Aldon was in the process of turning his life around in recent months.
Aldon Smith spent the final hours of his life giving back ... delivering pizzas to homeless people in California.
Pastor Scott Wagers tells TMZ ... Bay Area business owner Amir Shirazi surprised him on Saturday when he showed up with the former NFL star and a bunch of pizzas to give out to unhoused people in San Jose.
Wagers works with an outreach organization, The Mercy Mobile of Silicon Valley, helping out the area's homeless population ... and he tells us Aldon wasn't acting strangely when he saw him.
The pastor tells TMZ ... "Aldon was a very gentle, friendly guy. Nothing seemed off other than maybe seeming a little tired."
New details surrounding Aldon Smith's sudden death are coming to light ... with the reports the former NFL star was found unresponsive inside a truck shortly before he was pronounced dead Saturday.
Smith had spent part of the day with friend Amir Shirazi, helping deliver pizzas to a local homeless outreach organization in the Bay Area before running several errands together, according to the San Francisco Chronicle.
However, after returning to Shirazi's home in Los Gatos, the day took a devastating turn. Shirazi told the Chronicle he briefly went inside the house, only to return and find Smith slumped over in the front passenger seat of a pickup truck.

O.J. Simpson secretly believed he owed his freedom to Mark Fuhrman after his acquittal in his famous 1995 double murder trial -- while also thinking the then-LAPD detective was a total racist, according to The Juice's attorney.
Malcolm LaVergne, OJ's longtime lawyer and executor of his estate, tells TMZ ... "Privately, O.J. was very thankful for Mark Fuhrman because Mark Fuhrman blew up the case for prosecutors" during O.J.'s 1995 trial for the savage murders of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and Ron Goldman, in Los Angeles. LaVergne pointed out O.J. saw Fuhrman as his "get out of jail free card."
As we first reported, Fuhrman died from throat cancer Tuesday in Idaho, where he moved after retiring from the Los Angeles Police Department in August 1995.

Jones shared video of the wild scene on his TikTok account, showing off his view of the massive gathering in Manhattan's Washington Square Park ... as MJ and his buddy even got a few throws in (Mac was slingin' those snowballs!).
Of course, it was all fun and games until it wasn't ... as the gathering is now being remembered for all the wrong reasons, as a group of agitators turned their attention to some NYPD officers walking through the crowd, pelting them with snowballs.
A couple of officers were even injured during the incident.
San Francisco 49ers defensive lineman Keion Whiteis breaking his silence after he was shot in the ankle ... but the third-year pro made no comment on the reports that the incident came following an argument with Lil Baby.
White took to his Instagram Tuesday night to thank everyone who reached out to him after the Bay Area incident ... and shared visual evidence that he's in good spirits, despite needing surgery.
"For those who know me, y'all know this won't stope me from spreading peace and joy to the world," White said. "Full steam ahead. I'm in great spirits and ready to make the most of this off-season."
The investigation into the shooting of Keion White just took a wild turn ... because of what reportedly happened between the 49ers DE and rapper Lil Baby before the shots rang out just hours after the Super Bowl.
According to The San Francisco Standard, which says it's seen the police report, 27-year-old White and Baby got into an argument after the Grammy-winning rapper and his friends were turned away from the third-year pro's private event at a local SF lounge.
Per the outlet, a witness told police he saw the verbal argument and went to get help from bar staff ... before he heard two gunshots ring out. When the witness returned, he discovered White had been shot in the ankle area.
San Francisco 49ers DE Keion White was shot in the ankle Monday morning, just hours after the Super Bowl ended, with the 3-year NFL vet sustaining a non-life-threatening injury.
White, 27, is currently in a local hospital where he's undergoing surgery.
The team confirmed the news in a statement to The Athletic, saying they will update his condition “when appropriate.”
Mac Jones isn’t exactly buying into the 49ers' viral practice facility conspiracy ... but he's not completely brushing it off either!
The San Francisco backup QB talked with TMZ Sportsabout the chatter tying the team’s nearby electrical substation to their injury history ... a theory that’s picked up steam online and even sparked quiet locker room curiosity over the years.
Some have speculated electromagnetic fields from the power station by Levi's Stadium could be messing with players' bodies, but there's been zero scientific proof backing it.
