Simmons and ESPN part ways

For buttchugging?

 

No, for cleansing the shit out of everyone's *******s.

 

...or buttchugging.

 

Gah, you are the rising star poster. Scrapping e'erywurr now. I like.

 

How's your boy Daryl Moron's analytics working in the playoffs? Good to see the world working as it should. Hipster trash like you watching your meaningless heroes burn. Maybe you can rep Simmons in his unemployment hearing.

 

Good to see ESPN treating trash like trash. I may have to rethink my opinion of the Worldwide Leader.

 

Poor baby, he lost one of his heroes. Wait til nobody buys Gladwell's next shitty book.

 

So, he invented the documentary. Damn, I underestimated Clam Chowder Travis.

 

Shut up. College boy and balls deep are going to tell you and I how business works. Stop interrupting them.

 

Of course not. You're immune to logic.

 

Irony.

 

If Grantland exists in six months it will further prove Simmons is worthless.

 

Expert testimony.

 

The way I see it, if he was making a ton of money he could have said Goodell was the bastard child of Ruth Buzzy and the village idiot and he would have been kept on. What is the old saying "winning is a great deodorant"?

When you are an ******* and making no money, you are going to get shit canned. If you are the greatest guy in the world and making less than even, you might be kept. But lose enough money, and you get shit canned.

But the money thing is either a good reason or a great excuse to get rid of you. Either way, the guy is gone. Frankly, I believe sportswriters have gotten a huge ego over the last 20 years and I would love to see the whole lot shut up for a while.

 

Give it up. It's not about money. It's about ESPN silencing the voice of balls deep's generation. It's a [dadgum] tragedy.

 

Should be in the archives with your coronation of Dana Holgorsen.

 

And at the end of the day, he was making 5 million before this right? And will undoubtedly command a seven figure salary at the next stop. Pretty crazy. Every college newspaper in the country has at least one guy or gal that can write something compelling, I'm not sure how this particular position got so over-valued.

 

Or you claiming Larry Bird was average.

 

Yes, 5 million before this.
