I turned his show on last night for a few minutes and my wife was in the other room and comes in and says "What is wrong with his voice? What are you watching?" :dahell:

Dude is so bad on TV... Completely uptight and unnatural.. With a Hilary Clinton level of annoying vocal tone and delivery...

At one point he said "It's lit!!" and it came off as so cringe worthy.. You can clearly tell that someone 20 years younger than him had written it..

:snoop:

Dude was the least interesting person on his grantland platform. And he is absolutely horrible on tv. I'm not checking for shyt he does now and I'm glad he's off a major platform that forced him down my throat because middle class white boys loved him so much.
People in here saying he was a great writer , I'm not going bother arguing that. The shyt just wasn't for me.

HBO just need to pick his brains for other show/documentary ideas. :ld: Literally his only bad thing is being on tv....outside of that he's an asset

he wasnt a great writer by any stretch, though at his best he could pen great pieces.

simmons worked for so long because he spoke with a style and voice that resonated with a shytload of people. whether u agreed or disagreed with what he said (never make another hip-hop mount rushmore, bill simmons), he was able to convey his points in a manner that worked for sports fans and (more importantly) casual fans that could be converted into bill simmons fans.

saying it was only for middle class white boys is bullshyt. that might be who it's for now. but at his peak the numbers say damn near everyone in a certain age demo was reading simmons. that's why he got grantland, and that's why he has an HBO show. it sure as shyt wasnt because of his work on NBA on ESPN.
