... , the self-appointed leader of the New England sports universe. From what I can tell, Dirt Dogs was the first to jump on the story, posting a transcript in which Remy professes distaste for the ESPN columnist's application. From Dirt Dogs : Jerry Remy: We've got all kinds of people coming out of the woodwork who want to be permanent president (of Red Sox Nation)... some of this stuff is unbelievable... these people have been writing in, we've had these candidates, and they're writing in why they should be president... there's one that really kind of irked me a little bit.

This Simmons goes right to the trash. The sports guy he calls himself. He wants free tickets. And he’s ripping my health. And he’s ripping Mike O’Malley of all people. ...
