Bill Simmons Leaving ESPN

[MAGNETO.]

Haven't been enticed to d/l the new podcasts once since he's moved

Reckon they're better tbh.
The NFL ones are quality.
Also hated Jalen with the NBA stuff so Simmons without him is much more bearable.

if this is your argument against his more than apparent racism, we're done here. Adolph Rupp was obsessed with basketball too. There's a million Boston Celtics fans who are obsessed with basketball and hate black people. The hell does that mean?

"But but he wanted to be black as a child!"

Of course he isn't.

The bigger picture: With Mayo joining a loaded USC team and Love playing 20 minutes away for a Final Four team, that's looming as a dynamite rivalry and the most intriguing media subplot for the 2007-08 season. After all, Love represents everything good about basketball (unselfishness, teamwork, professionalism) and Mayo represents everything we've come to despise (showboating, selfishness, over-hype).

More Bill:

"Which brings me back to that McDonald's game. When Mayo bricked the game-winning 3-pointer with five seconds left and soaked in those scattered boos and a few "ov-er-ra-ted" chants, do you think he was more upset that his team lost, or that he would have been the hero if he made the 3? Call me crazy, but I'm going with the latter. Meanwhile, Kevin Love's team came out on top. He finished with 13 points and six rebounds and jump-started at least five-six fast breaks that directly led to layups or dunks. Looking at the stat sheet, you'd never guess that he was one of the key guys in the game. But he was. And that's why I'm looking forward to the Kevin Love Era and preparing myself to hate everything about the O.J. Mayo Era.

It's not a white thing or a black thing ... it's a basketball thing."

He even throws in the "I'm not a racist, trust me" at the end. Here he was glorifying Kevin Love for being a good ol' boy and calling OJ Mayo a showboating n-word.

Meanwhile Kevin Love's aau team was knowingly paid over $250k (of course he never saw a dime ) and he's known for being one of the most selfish, moody, me-first players in the NBA. And OJ mayo is known as a team guy willing to come off the bench.

Of course he isn't.

Feels like a bit of a reach and its the same example you used in this thread back in May

You also think Zach Lowe is 'awful'? How come?
