I've always liked Simmons, and still do for the most part, but good God. I can't take him seriously when he's talking about Boston sports any more. He lacks faith in his teams, under the guise of being a "grounded" fan of some sort. Have another mocha latte, Bill.
Simmons is just as bad at hoops - picked the Lakers to win..buying the Kobe is the best player in the world nonsense.. The OP is right. Simmons picking the Jets is a plus for the Pats.
