Youre fooling yourself if you believe that, or you are not old enough to remember the early days of ESPN.

Those guys are anchors, simmons creates all of his own content, there's a big difference and he won't be as easily replaced.

Who did the draft last year besides bill and jalen? Wonder who they get to replace him there.

This sucks, I would love to hear what Simmons take on the deflated ball b.s. Plus his coverage of the NBA playoffs.

And he REALLY bothers some people. But they can't figure out how to ignore him.

Bill Simmons is a TD poster's dream. He's a huge NBA fan that gets paid millions of dollars to write and talk about his biased opinions.

It's mind-boggling really. He is a pretentious, yankee, douche canoe. He seems like a weak, white guilter liberal too. I'm so glad he's gone.

Something like "Pats are gonna go into FU mode and repeat".

Don't know how I forgot, wingspan. Fraschilla is fine in the role they have him, bringing him on the set would be boring. Can't think of anyone else, russillo would have been cool but doubt that's possible right now.

I loved him when he was up and coming on Page 2 or whatever and was comparing sports shite to "Swingers" and "Rounders." That schtick got old, but you can't deny that his transformation into Grantland, 30 for 30, and podcast guru is amazing. Of course, he is going to be full of himself. Everyone agrees that he is not the best writer. But, his creativity and sense for what sports fans want is off the charts.

That's your opinion. I find shards of glass in my eyes more enjoyable than watching that dickhead.

So you are saying you dislike 30 for 30 and Grantland?
