I can't believe he has that voice once I saw his face.

I like Simmons, generally, but I've read/listened to him for decades now. I get he is the fan at the bar. Once I generally accept that, I can deal with his content/takes more.

Zach Lowe is awesome. Rob Mahoney is awesome. Caitlin Cooper is insanely good, but obviously focuses on the Pacers. Legler is really good. And for the most part, I like Windhorst. There are others, but you need Simmons to throw in the views he has or it is way too dry a discussion at times.

I will say, at least Simmons does have inside info. He cleary has connects and he is very good at sourcing talent (both done at Grantland and at The Ringer).

As it pertains to the studio shows, I think TNT has gotten a pass the last few years because 1) they have been good for so long and they never really are "bad" and 2) ESPN's studio show is so awful, that basically anything would be better.

Once KOC wrote that Daryl Morey piece, I was really turned off on him and I was lukewarm on him even before that.
