Message: [QUOTE="MikeSU02, post: 4603948, member: 60"] He is very good at a few things even if you don't like him: 1) He is good at podcasting and was on of the first to do it and do it well way before anyone was doing it. 2) He can identify talent and grow it. 3) He can build from the ground up a content creation machine. 4) He used to be a very good writer and saved Page 2. 5) He is fantastic at having his finger on the pulse of what content is on cusp of breaking. Like I said, his podcasting and 30 for 30, for example. He also can sense when things aren't going right and pulls the rip cord like he did as being a writer on Jimmy Kimmel's show. Love him or hate him, his eye and ability to grow content creation from zero is incredible and I think that came into conflict with what Wildhack was doing at ESPN in his role. And, to put it mildly, I actually think Simmons has a case here as having a better track record for the current landscape. [/QUOTE]
