So, maybe I didnt know who Bill Simmons was by name, I spelled it with a D, but I know Grantland.com, I know @30for30, we all know or have been touched by some excellent piece of sports journalism that this man has produced, its a hand down no brainer.
So, when I read so and so, Bill who ever got suspended by ESPN, I figured another one of their headline whores said some stupid shit on the air and yada, yada, yada, who cares?
Then I read that this happened not on the air, but on a PODCAST? What the F. Lee Bailey? Are you shitting me? Since when is ESPN the gestapo of the internet airwaves that they think they have the right and the ability to blast anyone like this, dude must be small potatoes, fishing for some attention, air time, hit on his youtube to pay a cocaine debt, buy a pet mongoose or pay for a night with that woman with a third breast... who am I to judge.
But oh shit, BILL SIMMONS, oh hell no, I know who this dude is... WTF?
Sick it what it made me. Honestly. Ive been involved in every aspect of podcasting since it was hardly a thing back in 2004, do you know the kind of bile and insanity Ive heard? Do you know what goes on on these free for alls? Its insane, its real, its unedited, unregulated and the last real piece of honest opinion and interview you can find anywhere online, off line, where ever. To have the audacity to censor someone for what is said on a podcast is just insane.
IT MUST HAVE BEEN GOD AWFUL. Did he praise Jimmy the Greek and a visionary, call for the immediate release of OJ SImpson or claim G. Gordon Liddy was calling the plays for the Raiders from his prison cell for the 1976 Super Bowl?
No. He said Roger Goodell is a liar.
Ohhhhhhh.
Dude, Bill, come on. Ive never even been to Bristol and I know that ESPN is a shill for the NFL. From covering up (pulling out of Front Line head trauma documentary) to cleaning up (Ray Rice, Adiran Peterson mess) to flat out propaganda campaigns (Tim Tebow nonsense campaign), the network ESPN has done nothing but propagate the myth that anything that come out of the Commissioners office is real, true and infallible and anything that comes out of Chris Berman's mouth is
PURE GOLD. You cant trust people like this, its the plain and simple truth.
