Loved her reaction.

his act got old quick

Yeah he has certainly been a smug douchebag this entire series.

Simmons needs to take his talents back to print

Simmons has been a bit of a douche in this series, but Sage has routinely cut him off all year.
Those 2 clearly don't like working together.

She's doing us a favor

Absolutely cannot stand him. He's always been this way.
Posted on 6/13/14 at 8:54 am to steakbombLSU
He never provides any analysis or information of substance. It's always about the overall narrative of the series or a historical comparison.

Ya he doesn't look like he would be a fun guy to discuss sports with. He's too smarmy.

I mean, it's kinda her job. She's the main facilitator of the show, and Simmons routinely interrupts Collins/Rose and chimes in randomly before they go to break. It's really noticeable that he doesn't understand his place on the show.

He's an oddity for me in that I enjoy his podcast and his columns, but I can't stand him on TV or any other medium. He's become this smug, self-important caricature of himself.
I don't know what it is about sportswriters, but the good ones always seem to turn into terrible, petty people who vastly overstate the importance of both sports and themselves. Simmons, Rick Reilly, Peter King -- seems to happen to everyone.
One thing about Simmons is that he goes on these insane tangents every now and then in these shows, the worst being when he tried to posit that LeBron played badly in a playoff game because Cleveland got the first pick in that day's lottery, and perhaps that meant he was thinking of returning to the Cavs and he'd be playing with that pick. Like I said, insane.

Yeah, I don't think he gets that these shows aren't conversations as much as they are organized quasi-debates wherein each person gets a specific amount of time to talk on a specific topic. It's stupid, but that's what it is.

Well said
Posted on 6/13/14 at 9:07 am to steakbombLSU
He needs to stick to writing. Super awkward on TV and just doesn't have the personality for it IMO
Posted on 6/13/14 at 9:09 am to steakbombLSU
Love his podcast work and what he has done at Grantland but he is not a good TV analyst.
