I have always loved Simmons even if I don't agree with him all the time. He works hard to give us more than just the obvious and takes his time to do it. Plus being an unmitigated Boston fan doesn't hurt either.His most recent retro diary may still be my favorite:

Patriots fans took Deflategate personally, and with reason — it was a shoddily reported story that never added up. Belichick and Robert Kraft remained defiant that the team did nothing wrong; the fans followed suit. It’s always fun to root for a champ, but when it becomes “us against them,” it resonates in a totally different way.
When he failed to reply you should've pulled a Bobby Knight and told him, "Ya know, you have a long way to go to be in the same league with your father."Flew to Detroit this morning and Jeremy Schaap was on the flight. Told him he was the last decent personality on ESPN. He did not reply, not that I expected one. And frankly, I was the only one who knew who he was.

HBO and NFL have a good thing going with hardknocks. if you really think HBO is going to let bill simmons mess that up you have another thing coming.
HBO allows Bill Maher to eviscerate half of the registered voters in this country weekly......yet HBO will censor Simmons for NFL negativity??? Please!! Hard Knocks is a bit piece of HBO's Empire and given the reluctance of marquis teams to participate, I doubt HBO is sweating it.....and....I would bet their fake NFL show Ballers crushes Hard Knocks in the ratings dept. Frankly, I think the NFL gets more out of Hard Knocks than HBO does.HBO and NFL have a good thing going with hardknocks. if you really think HBO is going to let bill simmons mess that up you have another thing coming.
