Not that every fan isn't somewhat. But come on give me a break. Garnet for basketball MVP? Boston this Boston that. <BR/><BR/>And as someone who knows about football, I can tell you he doesn't know very much about football. He is only good for pop culture references to sports and thats it. Like the Brad Richards is a $5 dollar shake is very Bill Simmonsesque. It makes for entertaining writing, but Bill Simmons is a moron when it comes down to actual substantive material. <BR/><BR/>In general, most of the ESPN writers are morons. Don't get me started on Burnside and Cox, who said that Nabokov needs to have another good year before he can win the Vezina.Bryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17896285658845291441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27850362.post-87506432604714676612008-04-23T09:17:00.000-07:002008-04-23T09:17:00.000-07:00Don't get me wrong, I like Bill Simmons... as long...Don't get me wrong, I like Bill Simmons... as long as he's not writing about things I know about.

He sucks.RudyKellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05935847996131016457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27850362.post-12304275616055461792008-04-22T23:48:00.000-07:002008-04-22T23:48:00.000-07:00I'd be a liar if I denied how much Bill Simmons in...I'd be a liar if I denied how much Bill Simmons influenced my writing and still does.<BR/><BR/>But it seems like having a baby and increased Boston success has been the perfect storm to make Bill Simmons occasionally insufferable.<BR/><BR/>Still, I don't think I'll ever hate him as much as the folks as Deadspin do.jamestobrienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16607553979777452973noreply@blogger.com
