No More Picks for Simmons

By | November 1, 2008 | Football | 1 Comment

Bill Simmons is no longer doing his NFL pick column for ESPN.

Here are some of my random thoughts on this breaking news:

1) If Chag has been picking against him all season, and he still gets this column then doesn’t he automatically win by default?

2) I stopped reading the Sports Guy back in 2003. That is when it ceased being funny.

3) Didn’t he get a job writing for Jimmy Kimmel’s show? That show is still on isn’t it?

4) It must be. That is where the Fucking Ben Affleck video came from.

5) How the hell did I get on that subject?

6) You really shouldn’t drink and blog.

Anyhoo, ESPN discontinued The Sports Guy’s NFL picks. I wonder if they would give me a job. I haven’t been funny since 2003 either.
