Niners Nation —
... Anyways, the Sports Guy posted a mailbag column today, and I realize what most of us think of him in terms of his football analysis. I try to take him with a grain of salt and just try to be entertained. However, he brought up a good point in one question that I wanted to flesh out here: ...

Bill Simmons is one of the funniest writers alive:
Q: So you’re looking for the four-way version of paper-rock-scissors that makes the most sense? I think I found it: blow-booze-weed-sleep. Yes, booze will defeat blow and weed will defeat booze. Sleep can beat weed and of course, blow beats sleep. Granted I don’t behave this way EVERY day.

Good letter in Bill Simmons' mailbag this week about Red Sox fans: Q: As much as I hate Boston fans, I must admit that they scream "OOOOOOoooooh!" louder than any fans in all of baseball on two-strike pitches that are three feet off the plate. -- Matt, Wichita, Kan. Brewers fans would be a close second, when there are people at the park.

... I appreciate Heisley's commitment to keeping the team in Memphis, and I can't fault him for admitting that he can't stop another owner from moving the team. As an aside, I liked Bill Simmons' response to the Sonics' 'relocation': ...

... Look, I've been growing very tired of everyone jabbing OKC on every turn over the whole team thing. Like I've said, get over it - it's done and time to move on. But some people have trouble with it. Some email Bill Simmons constantly and whine about it. Some refuse to call the ...

Sports Guy’s incredulity that the run-up to the 2008 ALCS was “like getting ready to watch Floyd

The Sports Complex —
... crunch time with his running game. Here’s a coach who loves to throw on damn near every down except when the game is on the line. I also blame Reid for the Eagles failing to trade a second-round draft pick for Tony Gonzalez. Other than the one season with Terrell Owens, McNabb has made a living throwing the ball to the James Thrashes of the world. It’s ridiculous. I’m convinced the Eagles don’t want to win it all. This comes a month after Bill Simmons wrote about the Birds’ head coach thusly: ...
