You’ve always been a little slow so I figured I’d make it simple for you. Notice how your the only guy defending Simmons in the entire thread?

Several years ago, I watched the LSU game at the small bar at the Four Seasons in Los Colinas. We were there for a girls' weekend of spa & tennis to celebrate my birthday and spent 3:30 on watching the SEC games and drinking.

Gruden and the crew for the Cowboys game (7 of them) came in around 5:00 and our 2 groups were the only people there. We shut that bar down at 1 am after watching and arguing about all the SEC matchups that evening. Gruden was a blast and laughed when I accidentally called him Chuckie to his face. They were all really down to earth and a lot of fun to hang out with on a Saturday night of football.

My biggest issue with Gruden is that he's being paid this absurd amount of money to be a color commentator while ESPN is having all of these layoffs. Do people tune in to watch MNF just to hear Gruden call a game? I don't consider him to be this indispensable announcer like Al Michaels or John Madden back in the day or Marv Albert or Vin Scully.

How long ago? My wife did her internship there, but basically just bartended

Romo has his assistant order everything because he and his wife couldn't talk to the help.

Simmons really looks like a bitch here. There may be some valid points in that, but when you were essentially fired from ESPN/had a feud, you can’t come out looking good here.

Sounds like Simmons is pissed more because Gruden knew how to work a room and people seemed to be glad to see him, while he was the type that people at ESPN seemed to tolerate more than anything.

That probably got under his skin because he thought himself "highly valuable" or even "irreplaceable" to ESPN.

They say Gruden is ESPN's highest paid personality.

But who cares? You are worth what people are willing to pay.

I have no problem with Gruden getting Rich Rod money considering what Rich Rod has done at Arizona.

Simmons doesn't even know this though. That's the best part. He's bashing gruden for how Simmons thinks he is, not how he knows he is.

You said you weren’t defending him, so not sure why you are still bringing it up. Try to stay off my dick for the rest of the thead and stick to sick burn comments

I like Gruden and Romo calling games. Gruden is the only ESPN personality I like. Simmons sounds very jealous and would probably like to listen to Jemele Hill and Beth Mowins call games. This article comes off very immature.

Simmons doesn't bother me too much and I like a lot of what he does but this Gruden stuff comes off bad.

Gruden know football and I've heard him offer criticism of players and calls but no, thats not his thing and he understands it's not his thing. That is a credit to him not a flaw.

Simmons comes off as a bitter baby and wtf with that Jemele Hill shite. She is as ignorant as they come.
