Clipped

Some people often wonder why I don't particularly care for the Sports Guy on ESPN. He's a good writer, funny, and occassionally knows what he's talking about but too often he pulls a stunt like his latest article. Around the draft, Bill Simmons wrote a long article about how bad the Clippers were, saying they were cursed, and claiming that it sucks that Blake Griffin is going to have to waste 5 years of his career there.

Fast forward to today. The Clippers have made one big trade, dumping Zach Randolph, and now apparently everything has changed. In fact, they not only have a "killer under-22 foundation" and a "a fun team for this season" but they are now the best destination for LeBron James. In fact, the future is so bright for the Clippers that he believes that someone should pay double to buy them. He'd recommend that someone pay 600 million dollars for the Los Angeles Clippers.

Now, Simmons isn't always like this, he occassionally goes down with the ship like with his Theo Epstein hate, but there are just too many times when he writes a long article preaching one thing and then weeks later makes the pronouncement that is a complete 180. He also likes writing articles that predict 20 things and if 2 of them happen, he acts like he's amazing. It just annoys me.

That is all. 

For now.
