Is Bill Simmons a TV Guy?

[twinkie13]

I think he is very overrated as a "writer" and he and the grantland thing has become much. I have never been a fan, but I know many love this dude.

Either way, I can stomach his articles but he is awful on TV and what ABC and ESPN tries to do with the NBA SCREAMS of desperation:boxing:

TNT on the other hand feels so natural and their set is the fucking best

 

[braves]

yeah he is annoying, way overrated

Did you see that TNT snatched up Rachel Nichols from ESPN, when did that happen?

Great writer

Terrible at TV but still better than Reilly

...I think what is annoying is about both of them is that they think they are funny

 

[twinkie13]

yeah dude noticed last night

never a fan of hers either but mainly because she had to say, "From Cowboys Camp lalallalalalallalallalalalla Rachel Nichols Espn".....which was annoying

 

[braves]

espn must not be willing to pay chicks, because they all go elsewhere

 

[twinkie13]

right? I love that newer unsuspecting blonde chick that does the afternoon SC

Reilly is annoying but the man can still put together a nice read...he's got a talent for it..

his article on kapernick and foster kids/parents was good...

I enjoy his podcast everything else not so much. Go listen to the one with him and tyson.

I DESPISE rick reilly and greg easterbrook almost equally. think they come off as pompous and holier than thou.

I love simmons. guy is becoming a mogul and deserves it. admittedly, i am exactly the demographic for him, as i was going through college when he was blowing up, but ill read or watch or listen to anything that guy puts out
