One of the few original opinions left in sports broadcasting. Good for him.

Good for him! Hope he runs an expose on those ESPN PC hypocrites!

I greatly enjoyed Simmon's early stuff. Hated his behavior once he got "big" and hopefully he'll go back to his older ways with this, even if it's just to piss off ESPN, i'd love it.

Totally agree. Back when he was just doing Page 2 for ESPN he was my favorite sports columnist. He's definitely fallen off since then IMO.

Oh good... more Boston talk. Can't wait to hear a story about going to a Red Sox game with his dad and or son.
