This whole mess deserves the name more and more every day.

He’ll prevail. Guaranteed.

Brady’s appeal must be heard within 10 days. Give him one or two games and let’s move on with our lives.

Goodell: Can I give him 4 more games for daring to appeal?

That honestly should’ve been a bigger story than this one.

I don’t know about badass—at the end of the day you’re talking about a rich guy that is just going to go be rich somewhere else or on his own, hardly a damn the cannons scenario—but he’s definitely the biggest casualty of ESPN’s war on objectivity and...well...thinking. He had too much of an ego, and was too…

Blame it on a simple twist of fate.

He can’t refer to Roger Goodell’s anatomy.

1000%

I’m not gonna lie, I always thought “intestinal fortitude” was just a euphemism for “testicular fortitude.” I think I was born too late.

All ESPN is doing is making Bill look like the victim here. I'm already a fan and as such would probably follow him anywhere but they just look like a lapdog for goodell by making moves like this.

I’d bet being on Dan Patrick at all had more to do with it. It’s well known ESPN doesn’t want their people on his show, especially if they don’t get permission first.

what are the chances that ESPN regrets this eventually?

I think in the world that most of us inhabit, having your contract not renewed is the same thing as being fired. But in the world of Bill Simmons, where both sides are negotiating on a hefty 7 figure salary plus god knows what other perks, I think contract non-renewals aren’t quite the same. It’s more a recognition…

Speaking from an actual HR standpoint, firing w2 employee vs not renewing contract of independent contract are two completely different things.

Oh, Jim. Please shut the fuck up. It must be really tough being a Boston sports fan. Only nine (9) championships in the 21st century? I feel so bad for you.

It’ll probably be Fierman, right? He’s the next in line on the masthead.

“What a great date night, right, babe?”

Does that make Will Bynum Rickon Stark?
