I know Simmons is a pretty controverse guy but I really hope you are wrong.

Sure he is a bit full of himself from time to time but there are not many people out there like him and I usually enjoy what he is saying/writing. Even though his Rondo trade ideas are mostly complete BS ... Image
i hope he DARES espn to fire him. let's see if billy boy can make it out on his own and continue his lavish lifestyle in sunny california.

He has been paying photos of himself on Instagram out having fun with friends and family during the suspension. He doesn't caption them or just puts "." Under them. I think he's pissed.

Yeah, I wonder whether ESPN got a call from somebody high up at the NFL who was pissed to have such an influential blogger/podcaster ripping on their commissioner. But, lesson learned: Don't ever directly challenge your employer to come at you, because they just might.

Thanks for that Deadspin link, that was a good read. I didn't know about a lot of that stuff.
