Simmons is an attention whore and really believes he's important. A lot of people blow him because they dislike EPSN and he likes to rail against the network.
He literally pioneered podcasting as a sports information medium, and he was the brain behind the only two decent original things ESPN has done in the last quarter century -- 30 For 30 and Grantland.
Grantland's already bleeding talent. Watch 30 for 30 turn into rote sports documentaries that get no critical attention and slowly die off-- when the thing that made them interesting to begin with was the unexpected angles-- other than "the U" almost all of the good ones used sports to frame an interesting story but weren't necessarily sports documentaries, at least not wholly.
