My feelings on the Sport's Guy

ESPN.com's Page Two feature columnist is The Sport's Guy, Bill Simmons. He is one of, if not the biggest sport's columnists in America today and he represents the success that a writer can have when he views sports from a fan's perspective. He only writes about Boston sports, so that is a bit of a problem with me, I admit, but I am starting to have other problems with him as well. I think Bill Simmons was a good writer before his teams had success in their respective sports. The only sport he can adequately handle is basketball. Whenever he talks about football and baseball he makes a jerk of himself, especially baseball. Despite what he may think, his fanship of the Red Sox was always defined by failure and is compared to the Yankees. He hates the Yankees fans so much and now he has become them, as evidenced by his trashing of both the World Series Champion Cardinals and the National League in general. He is a jerk who knows very little about baseball other than the numbers of past Red Sox. What is also funny and interesting is how the Red Sox complain constantly about Yankees, yet they have always been Yankees-lite. Red Sox fans always bitch about the Yankees spending habits but have always done the same thing, except not as good. Boston has had a massive payroll for many years now, dwarfed only by the Yankees. Now that is being bridged because of the Red Sox giving up 51 million to just talk to a pitcher who has never thrown a MLB inning. So there, Simmons, you have become what you hate! That being said, he is extremely funny at times and makes me continue to read his columns. MVP predictions coming soon!
