Message: [QUOTE="moqui, post: 307355, member: 214"] I stopped reading him years ago because I don't give a about his friends or his personal tastes in music and film . . . taking it as a sports column, I have to wade through thousands of words of self involved chaff to find a few bits of relevant wheat. taking it as literature, there are dozens of writers who are funnier, more cogent and wittier than Bill Simmons. a good sports editor could take the typical 7500+ word Simmons effort and carve out a nice, clean informative 800 word piece on the NBA. a good literature agent would take the same piece and craft a nice 40 word rejection letter.
