So what?
He has been no more biased than ESPN when it comes to deflategate.
Does he have a point? Yea probably. But he is also the absolute worst person to be going after ESPN for this b/c he was never going to look at things rationally to begin with. He's a Pats fan and he has an ax to grind over getting shite canned.
This would be like a man/woman calling their more successful ex out for fricking up their newest relationship. Maybe they are right and the ex is a complete a-hole who should shoulder all the blame. But it's pretty damn hard to take everything the ex says at face value when you know they are still incredibly bitter and reflexively defensive about everything.

Who out there right now has a better perspective on, and is willing to openly discuss, how espn operates than Simmons? That alone makes what he has to say worthwhile.
Also, I don't think he's bitter. He has significantly more freedom to do what he wants. He was ESPN's written content, and now he has the opportunity to prove it.

He's been calling Goodell out for his colossal mismanagement of the NFL for years, and has called him the worst commissioner in sports as far back as the referee lockout.
The rant that got him suspended from his podcast for 3 weeks last year was about Ray Rice, so about 95% of his beef with Goodell has nothing to do with Deflategate.
