    Wow, two wealthy sports blowhards in a public pissing match.

    Riveting.

    If KO is so important why is he wasting his time on Simmons. Their both frauds.

    There's such an enormous difference between the two in this case, though. Olbermann is commenting on what Simmons wrote and how he has presented himself publicly in this instance and in the past. That's fair game. Simmons immediately launches the most childish personal insults he can come up with. That's a new low in professionalism, and it further shows how indefensible his original position was.

    I mean, really, Simmons' tweet was not far from "I know you are, but what am I?"

    Since this is the latest dumping ground for venom re: Simmons...

    I thought it was interesting today in his mailbag that he openly admitted that he had a chance to go face-to-face with Donald Sterling at a recent game, but declined to do so because (his words, not mine) "I didn't want to shake hands with him and get that Sterling Stink on me."

    Ooooh-kay.

    Umm have you read a profile of Sterling lately? Look at what he's accused of and the lawsuits he's settled.

    that's not the point. most know sterling's record as an owner and landlord. citizentino is arguing bill simmons didn't have the balls to face sterling and came up with a joke as his excuse not to interview him or hear sterling's side. he basically admitted he didn't want to get his hands dirty.

    So he walks up to him and says what a douchebag he is? Then everyone would be saying how low-class Simmons is.
