I loved CV's rant, even if I disagreed with it. First off, I don't recall BS making any sort of claim to be a common everyman. His schtick was always (or used to be) that he wasn't an insider. He wrote based on his opinions and observations, unsullied by the needs of a beat reporter trying to make friends with players and management. And he's funny.
Secondly, who fucking cares if he ...
This drew several chuckles from me yesterday. Nice to hear from you, CV. _________________ "Sargeras, Transcendental Warriors guild, night elf rogue, alliance. This is my first toon, although I've started a dranaei paladin as a second, and I might start a priest very soon."

This looks like the totally appropriate place to post these upcoming Simmons appearances other than his book signings:
⢠Tuesday, Oct. 27: "Around the Horn" and "PTI"
⢠Thursday, Oct. 29: "Morning Joe" (6-9 a.m. on MSNBC) and "The Colbert Report" (11:30 p.m. on Comedy Central)
⢠Friday, Oct. 30: Bill will join the announcing team during ESPN's broadcast of the Bulls-...
This thread really turned into a rusty steak knife cutting through a well-aged steak.
Good stuff all around.
(BTW, I'm buying his next book and I'm pissed he won't be coming to Tucson to sign it. Boooo. ) _________________ It feels like I crushed and snorted both the blue and red pills. I have not a clue what the fuck is going on in life.
Should we advise Bill to get some extra security for his Boston book signing appearances? _________________ Waiting for sometime soon when Joey Logano wins The Chase for the Sprint Cup.
I think Bill Simmons does portray himself as an "everyman" or certainly an "every sports man", but I don't think he means it socio-economically.
He certainly seems to think he's an expert on all things sports, a point on which he is sadly mistaken and which leads to 80 percent of his doucheyness. (His Boston fandom is 15 percent and his voice is 5 percent.) _________________ CMU's Dan ...
The only sports he ever talks about is baseball, pro football, and pro basketball.
How can you be "THE Sports Guy" and know next to nothing about hockey, golf, tennis, soccer, college football, college basketball, boxing, etc.
That's what always cracks me up. _________________ "You need to beat off the ghosts"-some radio guy I heard on WIP last night
I did get the sideways look from the Flight Commander earlier. He wasn't sure why I'd bother, but ultimately he didn't care because I'm not on duty at that time. That coupled with you guys not being into it/thinking it's more dumb than worth talking about kinda sealed my decision. Now if this dude was at the Borders on Broadway in Tucson, different story altogether. _________________ It feels like I crushed and snorted...
My picture is available on line. And I will sign it however I want if you drive 5 or hours to get it signed. _________________ âyou don't read me! You read WIKIPEDIA! AND THAT'S LEFTIST.â
CV, I don't like to argue back and forth about people's attitudes on a fucking message board. If that equates to being a chicken shit, you fucking negative nelly piece of shit with nothing good to say unless it's a baseless rant on a topic you care far more about than anyone else, than that's cool. We can get back to the parallels with your buddy Scottie on that one, if you'd like. I don't ever remember starting...
you call that a fight? shit, me and jerloma could show you guys a thing or two. _________________ i was born in a welfare state ruled by bureaucracy controlled by civil servants and people dressed in grey got no privacy, got no liberty 'cuz the twentieth century people took it all away from me
