    Wouldn't expect a fellow Boston Fanatic to come out against him.

    I actually like Bill Simmons a lot. I read his book of basketball a few summers ago.

    Kind of sucks I've always liked Simmons. I love the Grantland Basketball Hour. I can't see him going to another network, he needs to have his own thing. It all went downhill for him at ESPN after he called Goodell a liar.

    Simmons is incredibly entertaining. Espn's loss.

    I don't like him much on TV but his book is good and he's entertaining some other times.

    If FS1 ever wants to even slightly gain market share this is their chance.

    Sign Simmons and make him the face of their network.

    ^he would fit right in with the rest of those unfunny nerds over there. I tried to watch "Fox Sports Live" once and it was unbearable with these two clowns.

    -Being the only person in the business to point out LeBron's obvious steroid abuse.

    -Punking Goodell and then daring ESPN to suspend and/or fire him

    -Creating 30 For 30

    -Threatening Doc Rivers on Twitter and on air while calling him "Glen"

    I could go on and on. That's my GOAT.
