    Who's your favorite sports writer
    Mine is def. Bill Simmons. As a new englander obviously it is nice to have someone who loves the same teams as I do but his mailbags and pieces on grantland are awesome. He makes them all very interesting and is actually intelligent unlike most of ESPN writers. What are you guys favorites?

            Like Simmons too most of the time even though I hate all Boston/NE teams and he can be a cocky prick.

            But like his NFL stuff, picks, podcasts and him guessing lines and always talking about gambling.

                I haven't read many sports articles in years. Before Al Gore invented the internet, my favourite writers were at Sports Illustrated

                      Simmons is not good.

                      Bob Ryan much better. Bob McGinn (Milw Journal-Sent) best NFL guy around.
                      Where's the fuckin power box, Carol?

                            Used to be a guy named Bill Lyon.
