I know he did block The Guardian’s Jeb Lund (aka @mobute on Twitter) on Twitter after Lund wrote a piece about him after the suspension

The Undefeated: Imagine if every writer at Grantland was expected to write/think like Bill Simmons.

Argo is also befuddling. I thought it was very meh, and won solely because of Oscar politics/campaigning (the outcry after Affleck didn't get a Best Director nod, combined with the complaints about Zero Dark Thirty and its depictions of torture)

Sophomore in college here...

Whenever Simmons has actual smart people on the BS Report—off the top of my head, Klosterman, Lowe, Barnwell, Sepinwall/Greenwald, and Wesley Morris—they take whatever dumb theory or analogy he spouts off and turn it into something that doesn't sound dumb. I'm grateful for Simmons because of 30 for 30 and Grantland,…

The Jack Johnson song "If I Had Eyes" is, ironically (?), kind of a good summary of how Jack Three is feeling

Is it bad that I met my girlfriend of two months through Tinder? And that we "hooked up" on our first date? Because if my friends or relatives ask how we met, I just respond with "online" in order to save the embarassment

I wouldn't euphemize a domestic violence incident as a "terrible mistake", but I agree with your other sentiments. From what it seems, it sounds that Ray Rice is actually sorry for what happened and they've worked together to save their relationship. I actually sympathize with Ray Rice when it comes to that. …

Q: Will he ever get up?

The War on Drugs—and the Prison-Industrial Complex that it has spawned—is bureaucracy at its very worst and yet you hear nothing from these people. Occasionally you'll get a Ron/Rand Paul speaking on it, but that's it

I'm a liberal as well, and I do think there is some kind of Liberal Bubble, just like Fox News and the Right have created a Conservative Bubble. I can't come up with specific examples to support this, though, but it is out there. It's not as easily apparent or ridiculous as the Conservative Bubble, which relies on…

I could see that. I do agree with Simmons' criticisms of Goodell and the NFL. Do I have the crazy hyperbolic thought that Goodell is the WORST COMMISSIONER IN THE HISTORY OF COMMISSIONERS like Simmons does? Not quite. What he said to originally get suspended felt authentic to me, but since he's been running his…

I'm not sure if I'd lump Simmons in with King and Scheftey, but I agree with your sentiments completely

Which of these celebrities/sports figures had the best year? Ray Rice, Roger Goodell, Adrian Peterson, Donald Sterling, Bill Cosby, Woody Allen, or Dan Snyder?

What exactly is hard "to get" about their sound? It's not as if they're Captain Beefheart or Swans

Comedy Central's lineup Wednesday night is fantastic. South Park (nice comeback season), Key and Peele, then Stewart and Colbert. At Midnight can be added to the fantastic lineup as well depending on the guests.

I'm glad I'm not alone in my hate for Stanford. I came to loathe Stanford not during the Luck/Harbaugh years, but in the ensuing years, where David Shaw successfully kept the program afloat (this year not withstanding). The amount of College Gameday segments on Stanford's program from 2011-13 were nauseating. Colleg…

I was a virgin and a Minuteman fan, and I can tell you this: I lasted waaaay more than 10 seconds

In agreement about Interstellar. I refused to see any promo material besides the first full-length trailer, and now the TV spots and reviews are trying their best to spoil this movie. Hell, even io9 had a huge analysis of the film. LET ME SEE THIS MOVIE FOR MYSELF!

How is Love and Other Drugs a bad movie??
