just when i thought bill had become a good writer...

the only article i've read worse than this one was his article crying that people dont play poker nice anymore-after he got bounced on the first day of the world series of poker.

screw bill simmons.

That article is complete garbage on so many levels.

People thought Bill Simmons was a good writer?

Half the players he points that aren't in the HOF should be. As basketball expands, 'fame' is artificially conserved by these HOF weenies. It's a crock from a consistency perspective.

What pushes Dumars over the edge is the JOE DUMARS Sportsmanship award, but the 6 All Star appearances are most compelling. How many 6+ time All Stars aren't in the HOF that shouldn't be when their time comes?

Oh, Bill Simmons should be ashamed for bringing up JD having <gasp> a lousy game in Portland shortly after finding out his dad died. He went off from that game to a fucking funeral. Fuckhead Bill.

Bill is all flash unfortunately. no intent to be a write, just an entertainer.

see, i often like what he has to say. sometimes he comes up with some interesting unique insights.

but he has blind hatred for all things detroit. and like i said, his poker column was an embarrasment to espn. he came off like your poker buddy that everyone laughs at cuz he's so immature.

but anyway, i was liking bill. this takes him down a few pegs.
