like hes the most popular sports writer in the country but he will always mean less to espn than some rando college football game

on the other hand they pay him a shit load of money and let him have his own website documentary series and tv show

maybe running grantland isnt as much fun as he thought it was gonna be and hes trying to weasel out of it
― lag∞n, Thursday, 6 November 2014 19:55 (nine years ago) link
he shd go work for an actual journalistic entity that will worship him for the media star he is instead of for espn who make all their money broadcasting sporting events
He's not much of a journalist though
― polyphonic, Thursday, 6 November 2014 19:57 (nine years ago) link
hes a writer or whatever you want to call it point is hes m/l window dressing for espns core business

You could say ESPN is Bill Belichick and Grantland is the Patriots and Bill Simmons is ol' Tommy Brady and Mike & Mike are Eli and Peyton

Simmons working in a different corporate context ... it's hard to imagine that it would go well considering that his first real job as an adult (probably?) randomly turned into a cult of personality / fiefdom.

If you made up an adjective to describe Westbrook or MVP Rose, it would be “freakocious.” A ferocious freak, basically.

Marcus Smart, Elfrid Payton: 2015’s copresidents of the “If They Learn How To Shoot, Look Out!”
smart literally shooting 36% from three right now, a look at his shot chart will tell u the problem has actually been his finishing at the rim aka the thing everyone thought he was good at

feel like he has a good chance to improve significantly there, he looks hesitant when he drives leading me to believe its just something he needs to figure out rather than something hes not capable of

hes a really good defender for sure tho a lil undersized, just a weird thing to say about a team that has a legit great defender

his value was already lower in the league than outside of it, and now this, plus you're only getting him for a half a season potentially
