dont take simmons personally you clowns. the stuff he says about Boston teams is the exact same way everyone sounds about LA teams. he has a fans perspective. Its hilarious the stuff he says. if you take trash talk about sports seriously, you are what Cowherd refers to as "Low Hanging Fruit". Cheers!

@chips93 chips93 stop breathing lol BAM!!!

simmons definitely favors boston teams, but he at least will write things the mainstream journalists won't....he lambasts the referees, unabashedly calls out all those frauds like vince carter, etc.
he is not my favorite writer in the world (i personally like stein a lot), but if you just take him with a grain of salt, he does make some good points and touches on valid subjects
-
His fake movie ideas are hilarious too
-
his book is good

I would hope that anyone choosing to write a column would deem their ideas and opinions worth sharing.
Should he preface each article with, "Hey, I know my ideas aren't really that important, but please go on and read my useless writing."?

I think Bill simmons can be pretty funny, but i also think he values his own opinion wayyyyyy to much. He really thinks hes the shit and it comes through in his writing quite a bit, but sometimes those pop culture references do kill me!
Anyone who gets mad at Simmons for favoring Boston is missing the entire fucking point!
He's not a serious sportswriter. The entertainment value lies in the fact that he writes from a fan's perspective!! Therefore, he talks about how it feels to be a fan of a particular team.
And I don't even like any Boston teams.
(And thank God ESPN hired Dameshek to be the resident Pittsburgh homer!)

Exactly. Anyone that constantly uses pop culture references with sports (like comparing Dwight Howard with Josh Baskin from "Big") really shouldn't be taken seriously. It doesn't make his columns any less entertaining. Sports have become so serious these days, it needs a little stupidity to go with it and Bill Simmons does this so well.
P.S., apparently, he wrote that if he made that shot, he would have done the Sam Cassell dance. If that happened, I would just lose it completely.
