This is pretty funny.Heat fans ruined that song. You know it's true. I know it's true. We all know it's true. That's the official theme song of the fan base that bolts for the exits down by five with 28.2 seconds left and the season on the line. A seven-nation army couldn't hold them back … from heading to the parking lot. Sorry, Jack White. You deserved better.
I can't believe it took this long to boot him out. He should have been the first victim.Clears Cleaver said:I was laughing hysterically when Cousin Sal got booted from their fantasy league. it was his idea to institute a rule that the winner gets to throw out one guy at the draft (they have 11 teams). winner decided to put it to a vote and the league voted out sal. lolol
What? I thought those few paragraphs were entirely fair and actually pretty dead on. He wasn't criticizing, he openly admitted it they handled it exactly correctly.mpx42 said:Did he let Borges ghostwrite a paragraph near the end there in his column today?
Just getting to that point in the podcast right now. Great stuff.Morning Woodhead said:Ainge podcast is great. Danny is about as open as you can expect a GM to be. Really good hour, wish it was longer.
Especially around the Doc coversation. Ainge didn't really hold anything back.

I thought the article overall was pretty good and the end was extremely well done.
Sometimes it's just correct; would "Blackskin" or "Yellowskin" be an appropriate name?Rusty13 said:He's seriously jumping on this PC Bandwagon??

So he just spent a few paragraphs talking up how much he enjoyed a WNBA game with his daughter, and how fun it is to watch Diana Taurasi because she's the best in the world at something. Pretty ironic, coming from a guy who's loved shitting on the WNBA for years (to be fair, who doesn't love shitting on the WNBA), but I guess having a daughter puts things in a different perspective.
Don't forget this is Bill Simmons you're talking about. The Wire was only the greatest show ever after he watched it 5 years after it ended. Breaking Bad is the best show on TV now because he started watching it this summer. Every cultural event only happens through when he "discovers" it.Skeesix said:
Good. I mean, the WNBA is what it is, but Diana Taurasi's been this good for years. I'm surprised that with having a daughter, he didn't get swayed earlier.

Your official "The NFC West Is A Juggernaut And The NFC East Is A Doormat" game. If you add up the rankings for every Week 3 team from my Half-Assed Power Poll and separate them by divisions, the lower the number, the better that division is overall, right? Example: Seattle (1) + San Francisco (3) + Arizona (19) + St. Louis (20) = 43, our lowest number for the eight divisions. Who has the highest number? Well …
NFC West: 43
NFC North: 53
AFC West: 57
NFC South: 66
AFC East: 67
AFC South: 72
AFC North: 84
NFC East: 86
Translation: The NFC East blows.

ESPN sources tell us that Johnson's departure was the result of an old-fashioned power war, with one very clear winner: Bill Simmons. "It's Simmons's show now," said one source.
Such is his power now at ESPN. "The shadow president," a source called him.

Doesn't Magic suck anyways? I've never watched the NBA stuff they do but I seem to recall many people essentially calling him a blabbering mess that made little to no sense, consistent with his work as a color guy way back when at NBC.DrewDawg said:On Magic leaving ESPN:
