Sims grew up in Philadelphia and attended Bethany College in West Virginia, where he played a year of college football and was a catcher for the Bison baseball team. He began his career as a sports reporter for the New York Daily News.

In the early 1980s, Sims worked as a sports reporter for a short-lived satellite news channel.
