Simmons was at least bold and brave, with us possibly in the WCF, it would've been fun having him maybe appear in the studio. Jalen Rose and that black b**** are utter ****, LA homers and will hang on the Warriors ball sack all series long, regardless of what we do. That old white dude who's name I will never utter for how he applauded Fisher on levelling Scola is actually decent.
What was the last controversial thing that Simmons did? Maybe that's why he got axed halfway through the playoffs?
his writing has suffered since grantland began, but why oh why did he have to get canned before the live-diary of rockets clippers game 6???
**** this season: -Bill gets suspended during NBA previews, they run incomplete -Zach Lowe has a ******* baby during the craziest trade deadline in years -Bill leaves in the middle of one of the greatest playoffs in recent memory
Sucks, this should be prime time for Simmons content. Hopefully he puts out some casual, homemade stuff on YouTube.
Got a bit carried away about Rose because of how dumb ESPN is and reading people say he didn't give the Rockets credit post-game, but that's all he did so never mind my comments about Rose. The black and white duo however, still the same.
Simmons couldn't prove he was earning revenue for the company commensurate with the salary he wanted.
dude should seriously just start his own brand. Become an Arianna of the sports world. i know he started grantland but im sure he can do it again.
he needs a sugar daddy like ESPN to support him at a loss can't generate enough revenue doing what he does I guess he thought their was intangible prestige value he brought that he should be compensated for, but ESPN said nah. Five-thirty-eight is going to get the same treatment.
What is wrong with you? Is this how you always refer to people? When you refer to your mother, do you say "that old white b**** at home?" You don't have to like everyone, but at least have a little respect for other human beings. Just because you are on the internet doesn't mean you have to speak like a jerk.
Well, I'll still go to Grantland for Zach Lowe. And I suspect both Simmons and the behemoth ESPN will be just fine. They both have business models that work.
