Bill Simmons on Mikhail Prokhorov
You knew it was coming...at least you had to hope it was coming. Bill Simmons, the Sports Guy, sat down with all the Mikhail Prokhorov transcripts, profiles, videos he can lay his hands on....and then, and then, unleashed 5,000 words of sports poetry covering it all: the money, the babes, the...
The 1-2-1 Zone: Fun With the BS Report
On Dec. 29th, Bill Simmons had Marc Stein and Ric Bucher on the BS Report to talk everything NBA. They spent 10 of the 103 minutes talking about the Spurs, but the problem is that they do not follow the Spurs very closely. I'm sure they catch the nationally televised games, but when your job is...
We Interrupt This Program; A Review of Bill Simmons' The Book Of Basketball
After finishing Mr. Simmons' 700+ page book on the history of basketball the music/book/movie snob in me was just itching to go after an easy target: An indulgent, self-absorbed, unedited blog post of a book that traffics in not-too-mild sexism and a few too many casual rape jokes. At the end of...
Bill Simmons and the Clippers
I shouldn't be doing this. I have a paper due for grad school, and this is a pointless exercise - I mean, more pointless than what I usually do here. It's all pointless of course. And by the way, I'm probably not going to give it my best effort. I'm trying to steal some time here to get this...
OPEN THREAD: Warriors Elect Not To Renew Chris Mullin's Contract; Promote Larry Riley To GM
The Warriors finally make the move that has been rumored for a long time now. Mullin won't be fired, his contract just won't be renewed. In to take his place is Nellie's guy (puppet?), Larry Riley. What was originally reported by MT2 has been made official: The Golden State Warriors announced...
Simmons at the Draft
With all of the talk about Bill Simmons and the Wolves GM job, I thought it would be an interesting idea to take a trip back to his Draft Diary column series to see what he had to say about the Wolves and Wolves-related draft picks: 2008: 4:48: Minnesota takes Ovinton J'Anthony Mayo at No. 3...
Bill Simmons, I'd like to make you an offer you can't refuse
Dear Mr. Simmons, Long time no talk. You probably don't even remember who I am. Here's a refresher - Remember when you were in Bismarck filming the Rod Benson E:60 story and I was at the same bar? I said "Hey, it's the Sports Guy! Mr. Bill Simmons in Bismarck, North Dakota!" and you looked at...
Bill Simmons rips the 76ers and their series
Bill Simmons and his buddy Joe House had an NBA playoff preview podcast (extra points for alliteration) and didn't have very nice things to say about the Sixers or their series. Take a look. BS: Orlando/Philly, God what a crap series that is. Ughhh. JH: It's, you know, the East has one crap...
Stats of the Future
I just finished watching tonight's loss for second time. You might be asking yourselves, "Why does jsams put himself through the agony of watching a loss not once, but twice?" and "Does this dude have a life?" The sole purpose for re-watching tonight's meltdown was to crunch stats -- not just any...
McGrady: Where I kinda sorta agree with Sports Guy's analysis
From the Sports Guy's epic NBA rant/rave column today: (And by the way, nobody loves basketball more than me. I mean, NOBODY. But when an NBA player with two years remaining on his contract for a total of $44 million shows up for the season out of shape, complains most of the year, lets down his...
