And how many black players does he Stan? Hundreds
Have you read his basketball book? You look like a fool.
Where's the reach? Kevin Love has been crying and complaining all year about touches, and his teammates in Minnesota called him selfish and a bad teammate. All off the things OJ Mayo was supposed to be.Talk about a fukkin reach

Bill Simmons and ESPN outgrew each other. It happens 
Neither need each other. Simmons at this moment probably has suitors lining up with offers. Wherever he goes next, he will make bank and have more power/control. Yes he no longer has the machine that is ESPN backing him, but his audience is still huge.
As for Grantland, I would expect a mass exodus unless ESPN overpays to keep their most valuable people in place over there. In the weeks leading up to what happened today....I figured ESPN would have locked the staff in with non-competes/extensions etc.

It's obvious you two are either next to each other, or actually Bill himself.
The reach is that you took a harmless quote from 7 years ago to somehow prove he's a racist
Or we read and listen to his content. You're just some dipshyt reaching for a hot take.It's obvious you two are either next to each other, or actually Bill himself.
Y'all kill me with this internet racial profiling. I'm as black as black can fukking be. What does me not wanting to watch ESPN's white noise of First Take, simulcasts of Mike & Mike, Beadle's show, the one with Jemele, and 70 different showings of Sportscenter have to do with my race? If something doesn't interest me I don't pay attention to it. I'm not entertained by people with fake opinions and if someone is I actually think less of them PLUS Mayweather is where he is today because he's one of the best to fukking do it not because he makes people mad. People watch that man for the talent in the ring not for his press conferences.
Go shine up that resume, Bill.

According to unnamed ESPN sources, Grantland was only profitable because of Simmons related traffic and corporate sponsors. Without those sponsors you can kiss Grantland as you know it goodbye.

Agreed. Bill Simmons was "the face/voice" of Grantland....its not as much of an asset now when the creator is out. He will set up shop someplace, start another site like it.....and depending on the loyalty of his staff, they will follow him to his next venture (or may even try to parlay his leaving into a bigger payday)
Bill Simmons is a brand himself, anything he decides to do will be successful.
I swear this life is like a Helium balloon or something
Bill Simmons despite his homerism is one of the best NBA analysts in the business. ESPN needs to pay the man otherwise their NBA coverage is kind of a joke.
He's the single worst basketball analyst that has ever been given a platform

He needs ESPN. You can never outgrow the machine which has a monopoly on the industry
