Killing The Sports Guy

You've probably noticed that I link to a fair number of Bill Simmons' articles. I like the guy. He's a great writer and I've been reading his stuff since before he joined ESPN.com.

But.

Man, has the success of the Red Sox and Patriots made him insufferable. If you didn't read his article earlier this week about how the Patriots don't get enough respect, be thankful. I'm not even going to link to it. It was awful. Trite. The worst thing he's ever written, by far.

Fortunately, ESPN had the guts to print a ton of the hate mail he got as a result. Taken as a whole, these sum up my feelings pretty nicely.
