Listened to some analyst on the radio today who indicated the Pirates have made a profit in excess of $250M over the last 10 years, and the franchise has increased in value from 280M to 1.25 BILLION in that span.

Granted, 250M “only” works out to 25M profit a year, which maybe nets you a player and a half before you…

Bob Nutting could give me a million bucks and I’d still never forgive him for cutting payroll the year after winning 98 games.

Refreshing to see a story involving the Vikings and a clap that doesn’t take place on a boat.

The problem with that argument is that the Cavs don’t really have any way to retool the roster, at least not to the extent that they’d need to legitimately challenge Golden State (or even a continually improving Boston).

The Cavs players make it abundantly clear that the Cavs suck during most games.

The NBA has become so unbalanced that a 26-17 team with the best player in the sport is considered to ‘suck’ because there are 3 other teams with 3 All NBA candidates on their rosters.

You’re fired. No disrespect.

If I were a betting man, I’d say the refs try to fix these games as soon as possible.

“Malik Jackson on Blake Bortles: ‘He’s a dog’”

Consent?

No fair cribbing Andy Reid’s second half gameplan.

What happens if they don’t? Do they eventually start accumulating delay of game penalties until they have to start penalizing them half the distance from their own end zone and run into Zeno’s Paradox where they can never get all the way back for a safety? Does the NFC Championship never happen? As the years pass by,…

Ya, so weird I like the writing on a website I choose to visit.

He also can’t do “the voice of the long suffering sports fan” routine that he started his career with because ALL 4 BOSTON TEAMS HAVE WON SOMETHING SINCE 2000.

The thing that turned me completely off to Simmons is the fact that he has basically had all of his wishes come true, and he still manages to come off like a angry bastard who has gotten screwed at every turn in his life.

WHAT???? He’s one the most thin skinned people ever.

Bill Simmons and his stans: the kings of Not Even Mad

So you’re saying Simmons’s Draft Day Diary of 1998 was his Achtung Baby?

Hasn’t this already happened?

Once upon a time, Simmons really was a unique voice. He was funny and insightful and unlike anything else on ESPN or elsewhere. But he’s been lapped by people who are better, edgier, and funnier.
