Bill Simmons starting a war with Mike & Mike

[Primetime21]

what a chimp out

 

[Optimus Prime]

simmons knows he has a fan base with or without espn and other networks would be in line to offer him $$$ if he bounced most likely. hell, he probably is praying to be able to chop it up with the TNT crew...it'd be hilarious if he went to TNT somehow and "betrayed" jalen for cwebb

I he willing to let Grantland go though? If he leaves, no way ESPN lets him take Grantland with him

 

[Lakers Offseason]

Simmons has the only interesting section on their website with Grantland.

I would say ESPN needs him more than he needs them as far as web presence.

I agree but it seems like most people once they leave that espn bubble don't really do as big. I know Dan Patrick did but is it many like him or more Beadles and SAS?

 

[OG Talk]

Simmons, LeBatard and on a smaller level Max Kellerman are actively trying to cause anarchy at ESPN and rage against the machine...

Props to them for the efforts but they all finna take major L's....


I hope they have big enough fan bases to pull off the Glenn Beck model of indy media..

 

[nomoreneveragain]

Simmons vs Boomer and Carton would be great

 

[duckbutta]

Simmons can be a bit of twit...but he is writing the handbook on how to flex on an employer with no fukks given...

This whole thinks reeks of getting himself fired gets him out of something with ESPN...like he has some sort of agreement with them to do something...UNLESS he get's himself fired then he doesn't have to do it...

The success of the grantland basketball show pretty much means he does not need ESPN for anything anymore

 

[Lakers Offseason]

So Simmons is also in his last year of his contract?

James Andrew Miller who wrote the book about internal politics at ESPN sides with Simmons:





Mike and Mike is the worse radio show. I don't know how anyone can listen to those two guys opinions.

Simmons should walk into TNT studios with the Hollywood Hogan face paint

 

[MikelArteta]

Simmons doesn't need ESPN

The second they let him go TNT/cnnsi, nbcsports or fox sports will grab him

Ain't like this nukka is on ESPN every day or something

 

[I AM WARHOL]

Bill took a tiny jab at LeBron and this sh1t happens but years and years of openly hating and talking sh1t about Kobe amounts to nothing?? Espns agenda is showing . No one can even hint at lebrons decline before someone is outraged
