<---Longtime Simmons fan. Totally unable to defend anything he's written in '07 as "good".

Any story he writes regarding trips to Vegas, or NBA teams' GM's lack of having a pair are good.

He is not afraid to rip David Stern, and I do admire that.

kyleb,

He's ESPN's best NBA writer by a pretty wide margin. He's not as smart as Hollinger, but he generally knows his stuff and when he focuses on the subject instead of being "witty", he does well.

Most of his other stuff has been garbage as of late, though.

off topic, but he probably has one of the best jobs in the country, though. I'm not sure what he gets paid, but it's probably quite a bit, his output requirements are pretty low, and he gets sent on cool sports trips, but only if he feels like it. It's a sweet gig.

He really needs to go back to his roots, less hackneyed analysis, more Wrestlemania diaries.
