Longtime fan of his column starting in the early 1990's. People who criticize his lack of sports knowledge or selling out to LA don't read him. People read Simmons because of his take on popular culture, movies, The White Shadow, celebrity nudes. etc., he's a talented funny writer. So, yeah I am defending someone I like, but I have never been to Vegas with him.
I read Simmons quite often, actually, although I haven't read him in the past few months because I decided to take a break. His knowledge of sports isn't particularly impressive or expansive, and he's definitely sold out to some degree. He's a funny writer, albeit a bit stale after all these years, and he uses his readers' e-mail well.
Frankly, I didn't think any of that was in question.
The moral of the story, as always: women ruin everything.
I heard Simmons on Felgers show bash The Big Show.....
I don't think I have ever nodded my head up and down more.
Simmons was spot on. Loved it
I'm amazed that show is still on the air. Bunch of dumb animals on that show.[/QUOTE
Pete may be a blowhard but the Ordway, Smerlas and Steve are intelligent and rich to boot.
So this is between an obnoxious fat slob whose radio show is impossible to listen to for more than 10 minutes at a time and a 40 year old man whose sports knowledge is no better than anyone who watches sportscenter, has been telling the same pop culture jokes for 20 years, and still calls his friends by college nicknames which at his age should be cause for his execution?
Is there a 3rd choice? At least a none of the above?
