Bill Simmons has surprised me...

[KnowledgeDropper]

A few years ago, he had a reputation as kind of a Boston racist dude...

But he has been a big proponent of Jalen Rose, is pushing this kid Rembert big, sounds like he voted for Obama based on his podcasts, hired this dude Wesley Morris, etc

Hes still a shiitty ass cornball journalist

 

[Miggs]

He fckn stinks...

 

[iceberg_is_on_fire]

He's a Boston homer and he doesn't hide that fact, but dude eats, shyts and sleeps basketball. I can only salute that

 

[craigsagersuit]

my man

That article about the ASG in New Orleans where he references Pac and nodding his head,makes me still to this day when i see him...

Basketball is his favorite sport, he doesn't bother me at all

Dude is basically a fan that made a career out of being a fan.

In his book he claims in school he was obsessed with black culture and wanted to be called Malik Abdul Simmons

Dude hates baseball and has an almost unhealthy obsession with the nba i figured hed be more liked around here sicne hed fit in with most posters in that sense..i think cats just figure hes racist because hes white and from boston

You can tell he even used the NBA trade machines, dude always has some off the wall trade idea out of nowhere.

Really? Then you must be talking about a different Bill Simmons.

Anyways, you're correct on the racist angle: if he's ever been thought of as a racist, it's by idiots and their preconceived notions of ppl from Boston. He's never given off a racist vibe whatsoever.

And he wanted ppl to call him Abdul-Jabbar Simmons

I have alway viewed Bill Simmons as the only non-racist sports writer in Boston....

I can't see where you got this view from, have you read ANY of his work?

Back on the old site, people always called him racist. He even has brought the rep up on his podcasts

Bored and hate are 2 radically different feelings. He's a huge Baseball fan. Of course he hasn't written much: the Red Sox sucked last year, Spring Training just started, Basketball season is in full force, and he's hosting a Basketball Show on ESPN.
