Doc is right though

Simmons isn't a journalist. He's a fan, and he's open about it.

Not sure why ESPN let's him do TV. Just stick to reality shite and Boston fan boi columns like he used to do.

Funny part part is he could choose to be a great journalist but rather be a fan who beefs with everyone




BS is definitely a journalist, just a biased one. Which, given the state of politics in this country, should really be nothing new to any of us.

The days of unbiased, just-the-facts-reporting, have passed us - especially in sports where it really doesn't matter anyway. Especially at ESPN.

BS gets viewers...just like Stephen A....just like Bayless. The only thing I question ESPN on is why do they only have the mouths (except for Bayless) only talking about the NBA?

I mean, with the state of affairs in the NFL right now, a brash, out-spoken journalist could be having a field day!

Simmons doesn't deserve to get lumped in with bayless and smith. Having strong opinions, like most fans, isn't the same as deliberately picking outrageous stances just to troll viewers and sports fans.

Stephen A does first take with Bayless so how can 1 only talk about the NBA?

I know Stephen A and Simmons have large NBA roles but they branch out especially Simmons. His first book was on the Red Sox and during football season he does weekly podcasts and columns on the lines and other nfl stories.
