Hater Tuesday Special: Bill Simmons doing the hating on Mike Dunleavy for me.

Published 5 days ago by admin at Fear The Beard

This suit alone is reason enough to hate the man, but well-known author, Bill Simmons, aka “The Sports Guy” has really taken his hatred of Mike Dunleavy, Sr. to new levels lately. Maybe the man we like to call The Cryptkeeper is hearing the messages. Remarkably, Dunleavy ...

As I write, it’s the end of the third quarter in the Lakers/Clippers game, with the Clips down one. Portland had an uneven game up north against Houston, but pulled out the win. Did I mention that NBA League Pass is free this week? Hallelujah. It’s on. The Warriors open ...
