If all you care about are live sports and hate any type of sports personality or commentary then fine. I admire your dedication. But as far as that sort of thing goes, Simmons and Friends were so much better than almost everyone else at ESPN it wasn't even funny. SVP and Russilo are solid, a couple of the college football guys. Bayless, Stephen A, Cowherd, Mike and Mike, Michelle Beadle, Kellerman, Marcellus Wiley, Wilbon, Lebatard, Bomani Jones, Jemele Hill. Every single ex NFL player they hire as a football guy. I mean Jesus who wants to watch Wendi Nix ask NFL players cliched questions and received cliched answers for an hour every day? They all cater to the lowest common denominator. It's atrocious. Say what you want about Simmons, but at least he's not unoriginal
great post
ESPN really does look more more like CNN/Fox/MSNBC everyday. Simmons & Grantland, along with SVP and Russilo are more like Daily Show and Colbert Report

Not reading this whole thread but Simmons was okay on tv. Everyone knows how I feel about his writing. I can't say I'm distraught like everyone else. I really don't get his appeal. I liked him at first, but that was shortlived.
