Rolling Stone on Bill Simmons

I am seriously glad we concur on the pointlessness of Magary.
He's a hired mutt, hired to write that everything just sucks.
That's an easy job, man. Any one of us can do it.
Has Magary ever PRAISED anything?
Says a lot about him.

 

I don't necessarily doubt the number, but it would be nice if RS could attribute it. Likely?

 

Under a blue-gray October sky, the Cobra Kai rode again.

 

It's cited in the story. I just cut it off before the citation (hence the hanging comma).

 

Know who loves to hang a good comma? Tom Chiarella,

 

I haven't read anything Simmons has written in three years. I don't feel I've missed much.

 

I read him occasionally.

His Sterling piece was vintage Simmons, in that it had a few moments of humor, had stretches of evocative writing, but was at least as much about Simmons as the subject itself. Notably, it begins with the word "I."

 

He praises Mastodon and Queens of the Stone Age in basically every article. If nothing else, at least he loves stoner metal.

Wasn't Simmons against the Grantland name?

 

So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
So long lives this and this gives life to thee.

 

Simmons has vision. He saw the potential of the internet.
