Thoughts on Simmons and ESPN

Sat, 21 Nov 2009 14:41:34 +0000

You know that I don’t trust most big corporations and executives. For years sports fans were dealt information they deemed necessary rather than giving us all the information to make an educated choice. In politics you have seen conservative and liberal talk shows work to expose ...

Normally, highlight videos are reserved for athletes. Very rarely will you see one for a pudgy 40-year-old, wtih graying hair and a nasally voice that resembles a cross between Fran Drescher and SpongeBob SquarePants. But then there’s Bill Simmons, the man who became famous by writing ...
