He also sucks.
- He constantly calling out players for being pussy whipped, most notably Doug Christie. But he allowed his wife to post a column during his football picks about the FUCKING RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN BRAD PITT, ANGELINA JOLIE, AND JENNIFER ANISTON. Are you fucking serious? Is there a topic that a man who likes vagina would rather not talk about than that stupid relationship? We want an article on football and he has Us Weekly on the side! And he let her pick games. And she WON! Not just 1 game or 1 week or 1 month, she was better for the entire season!!! INCLUDING PLAYOFFS!!!! AND HE LET THIS HAPPEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Did he hold up his pinkie in recognition everytime she finished her picks, bowing to her superiority? Any man who allows his wife to show him up when it comes to football knowledge, and publishes it for thousands to read, is just as whipped as Mr. Christie. Of course, a hypocrite like Simmons will not acknowledge this, but we all know that the following equation has been proved by Will Hunting:
Bill Simmons = Pussy Whipped.
- He had 2 columns about Kobe during the 2005-06 season. The 1st called Kobe out for not staying in against the Mavericks when he had 62 at the end of 3 quarters and going for more points. He said Kobe was selfish. The 2nd column ripped Kobe for staying in the game against the Raptors and scoring 81 points. He said Kobe was selfish. I am not making this up. If you happen to have an ESPN Insider pass look at the following links for proof, http://proxy.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story?page=simmons/060124 and http://proxy.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story?page=simmons/060110. This is the unforgivable, have it both ways bullshit that he pulls all the time, and I hate him for it.
- He thinks that Rick Pitino and Pete Carroll aren't good coaches because they stunk when they were at Boston. They did stink with their Boston teams, but now they are both great coaches who have won at their next stop. Carroll has been incredible at USC (Thanks to a lot of cheating) and Rick has been pretty good with the Cardinals (Not great, but the 1st Final Four appearance in 18 years is worth the past two years of mediocre crap). But since they sucked in Boston, they aren't allowed to be good now, according to the God of Sports, Bill Simmons. But that doesn't apply to his one true love, Bill Belichick. When Bill was with the Browns, he sucked giant donkey balls. He went 36-44 and only 1 playoff appearance. He cut the players that the fans loved and didn't improve the team. He failed miserably. But now he is a genius who can do no wrong? If he doesn't have to be judged by the mess in Cleveland, then Pitino and Carroll do not need to be judged by their time in Boston. But that is for normal people, not uber hypocrites like Bill Simmons.
- Bill mocked the Yankees fans for being sore losers, but then he did the exact same thing when the Colts, who have now beaten the Patriots 3 straight times including the AFC championship, win. He pouts like Britney Spears when she doesn't get her daily pound of chocolate. He even refused to write a column about the Superbowl because he knew that all those fans he spit on when the Pats were always winning would relish it. But he wrote about 10 columns in 2004 regarding the Red Sox, and he dismissed Yankees fans who said that they were 25 championships behind now. 2 years later, he is being his typical hypocrite by saying that the Colts fans should call him when they win their 3rd. By the way, that will be 2 years from now.
These are just a few examples, but he simply does not think that people have memories. Well I do. And from now on, everytime he fucks up, I will catch him.
4. He is not a good writer
Bill is not a bad writer. His topics are funny, and he writes about what people actually care about. But his prose is horrible. Here is an example of how Bill writes:
"24 should have the Peyton Manning face as President. Who wouldn't watch that? Seriously."
His prose is stilted and pedestrian, as is his word choice, and he barely ever varies his formula. You should actually count the times during a column that he does the "Who wouldn't watch/like/want this? Seriously." trick. The number is staggering. Also, a grown man who uses the word "Giddy" 8 or 9 times in a 5000 word column is either a bad writer or slightly mentally retarded. If you want great prose at ESPN check out Easterbrook's TMQ. Who wouldn't read him? Seriously.
5. He is secretly a racist
I believe that all white people born in Boston are racists. I can't prove it, but I feel it coming through in his column.
6. His actual voice is like a prepubescent child
Have you heard him speak? He sounds like the teenager who always works at the movie theater or Krusty burger in Springfield. How can anyone take this guy seriously when he questions someone's manhood? He sounds like a fucking child!!! Like a fucking child who want his mommy!!!!
There will be more to come in the next few months. Everytime he says something stupid, I will be there to let you all know about it.
Fuck Bill Simmons
Fuck him in his fucking ear

Couldn't agree more. The last straw was the column "When your team takes you to the top, is there anywhere to go gut down"
Arrogant. Self-centered. Piece of crap.
Apparently we've abandoned the idea of "journalist" and the objectivity it entails. You want to write that front-running crap, go see if there's a position at the Boston Herald.
Bill Simmons is truly a giant douchebag. I'm glad you've created this blog. I saw a good quip somewhere on the intertron today that started thusly, "When Bill Simmons pulls his head out of Boston's sports collective ass...." I hate everything about Bill: his love of basketball (or rapsport or thuglife or whatever that shit played on basketball courts nowadays is), his constant referencing of shitty pop culture from bad movies to douchey television shows that normals love, his cornhole friends he constantly mentions.... I hope his family all sufferes from lupus
HAHAHAHA! This was so funny. My husband is obsessed with Bill Simmons, and I just read the article about his dog dying. I couldn't really get into the story because I was too pissed off about his bad grammar. So I googled, "Bill Simmons is a horrible writer," and this blog is what I got. I laughed so hard! I don't think my husband appreciated it though...
Oh well. Props to you!
dude i totally agree with you. He is the biggest cunt on espn. He is always talkin shit about the colts and that ticks me off.
I couldn't agree with you more. I've been listening to his podcast lately, and it sucks so bad it's unbelievable. I really gave it a shot, too. Like for two weeks! Screw Bill Simmons and screw Boston.
I used to read Bill Simmons all the time because he wrote about non sports things that were interesting - the pop culture references, stories about Vegas trips, etc. But he has gotten really lame in the last few years, and is not funny anymore. I think you nailed it - he is pussy whipped. For something very funny - check out the Adam Carolla podcast, which at times is amazing.
This is too, too funny. BS's wife must secretly be sleeping with Kobe, otherwise I don't understand from whence his Kobe hate originates. And, yes, he is a Boston "homer" of the first rank.
Fuck Bill Simmons, I've never seen a writer more determined to shit on teams or players (Kobe recently) he hates while forgiving players and teams he likes.
I loved Shaq, but he was fat and lazy, and always showed up to camp out of shape. He was great, but not nearly as great as he could have been if he had Kobe's drive--and that's why Buss didn't side with him.
I think Simmons hates Kobe even more because of this 4th title, and because Kobe IS the hardest working baller playing. The only other player who ever had Kobe's kind of drive to win is you-know-who.
I agree completely. F--k Bill Simmons, he cant write for shit. And screw his stupid superficial, materialistic and self absorbed celebrity drama loving wife as well. Bill you are a loser. Oh and Bill, can you say 2009 NBA World Champion LA Lakers?
I just think it's funny that people are posting spiteful comments on a two-year old blog that hasn't been updated in over a year. I'm sure Simmons has seen this and gotten a good laugh from it, just like all popular writers do when they read comments from people who can't write their way out of the fifth grade and have the nerve to criticize them.
Bravo sir!
Having Bill Simmons tabbed "The Sports Guy" pissed me off from the moment I saw his smarmy mug on the front page of ESPN, or on Page2, or on whatever cursed page on that site first bore his stench.
No one so blatantly provincial should have such a universal appellation.
Count me firmly in the camp of The Enemies of Bill Simmons. And I'm right in his target demo, I'm sure. 31, white, male, mildly sports-obsessed. Nevertheless, he's a douche.
