I don't understand why so many here think it is Forde's job to promote LSU in a positive light.

It isn't. But at the same time, why should LSU fans be concerned about the rambling musings of a national writer who finds it "hard to appreciate" Simmons b/c he plays at LSU?
OK, I'll admit it, LSU and Coach Jones (I assume; maybe though he had nothing to do with the Sports Information Dept's trumpeting of Simmons) promoted Simmons as the Next Great Thing, when, what they should have done is just say he is a wonderful player with a unique skill set. The media loves to build up players and then tear them down, why help them?
