Maybe it was the way he was brought up. Maybe his parents coddled him

The character Bill Simmons plays in the media is basically a fan that knows enough to sound smart but just says stuff for reaction... With a rolodex. It is a conscious schtick to sound like someone "we all know..." but with a rolodex.

The actual Bill Simmons is clearly a bright and respected guy with connections.

I listen to him completely depending on his guest, and I pretty much ignore him.

you're coming across as a bit of a child. Just explain why you think he's a blowhard so that I can better understand your position.

If you can't understand why people think Bill Simmons is a blowhard, no amount of words will explain it to you.

You have an opinion, I ask you to explain your opinion, you act like a child and refuse to explain it. It's obvious you don't have any real basis to refer to him as a "blowhard".

You act like a child by believing I owe you an explanation of my opinion, McScrotes. Get over it.

you said "people think he's a blowhard" which implies others along with you

I don't agree that it is a widely held opinion. Certainly you are entitled to yours but you've not backed it up in any way

his dustup with doc rivers was juvenile yes, but grounded in the truth that rivers bailed on the celtics and lied about it

If I asked you to explain that opinion do you think you could provide a reason or would you inexplicably say that you don't owe me one, as if that's somehow the way arguments work?

Would you consider him a blowhard? McScrotes requires explanation.

And grounded in truth when doc traded for rivers to the detriment of a title contending team
