It's obvious to anyone he looks very pissed and doesn't want to be there w/ Magic, Wilbon and Jalen. I know he was upset and tweeted about the absence of Wade/Germany comment that was omitted in the rebroadcast.

Is he the next NBC Sports guy? Yahoo?

I don't see him working for ESPN much longer. Looks livid, but is holding it in.

I don't think he'll stop working for ESPN, but he won't be back on NBA Countdown next season.

Uhhh, idk about that. He and Jalen are bffs, and he seems to love Magic from the way he talks on his podcast

I read about that, didn't understand what was cut worthy about the comment. Is it a steroids reference or something?

Plus Grantland is his baby. Not sure what kind of deal he has with ESPN regarding Grantland. I seriously doubt he'd be interested in leaving it.

Doesn't mean he likes doing the broadcast and not being able to say uncanned comments, stories, etc.

He's not leaving espn. He may not do the NBA stuff next year but that doesn't mean he's going somewhere

This. Grantland is tied to
ESPN, as long as that's the case, I don't see him leaving.

I don't mind Jalen, but Magic is terrible.

Update... Simmons just Started talking about LeBron, and he said "well let me just tell you what I think about the decision", likely to say something Controversial about the ESPN special.

And then… The video and audio feed went black.

ESPN Conspiracy theories: go!

We'll know for sure shortly because Simmons will be the first one whining about it if it did get sabotaged.

I think Lebron said he's retiring in two weeks.

I like Lebron pointing at Jalen Rose and Magic talking about being poor and black.. "you know what I'm talking about.. you know what I'm talking about."

Bill Simmons doesn't know what he's talking about.
