Some NFL expert.
Some great "Boston" writer living in California for years.
What a prick.
Simmons generally sucks. I really don't think he knows much about football either. He knows the happenings in the various leagues, the final scores, and the personalities, but he can't really analyze. I doubt he knows what 3-technique means....most of these writers are generally clueless about anything more than the basics.
I just finished his Red Sox book, it was refreshing to read his old columns back when he actually cared about Boston sports. In his defense he really didn't claim to be an expert, his angle was as an everyman, and it worked back when he was more connected with the city he was writing about.
His column in that book after the Pats won SB36 was superb. Back then he could capture what it meant to be a local fan, before he became Jimmy Kimmel's lapdog and put a reference about L.A.'s superior weather and SB42 in every column.
He never proclaimed to be an NFL expert...
Does it really piss you off that much because he went 0-4?
Okie dokie!
