Re: Re: Simmons on Ricky Davis

["Josh Ozersky" <jozersky@xxxxxxxxxx>]

you'll notice Simmons didn't admit it in any of his public
forums.  I don't think a hasty post on the Sons of Sam Horn
board counts for much.  I'm sure he just dashes off whatever's
on his mind.  The guy on that board that brings it is Home Run
Baker.  He knows his basketball.  A lot of them do.  Simmons
was better on his old site, before he got into his current man-show
rut, with the tired jokes about the Sports Gal.  More Caddyshack, 
more Ramblings, more ballsy stuff like Grading the Wimbledon
Babes.  They really cut his balls off, and now he's like a male
Erma Bombeck.  Good to know Jessical Alba is hot in person.
Thanks, Bill!  But Simmons really does know his basketball, and
his opinions are worth arguing about, even when you disagree.
He should do more analysis, I think, and less histrionics.
