He constantly calls Walsh a loser because he's now an assistant golf pro in Hawaii. Simmons has said more then once that how can the guy have any credibility since he left the Pats for this job, which only a total loser would take.<BR/><BR/>Am I missing something, because golf pro for a course in Hawaii sounds like a GREAT freaking job to me.

I sort of wanted Belmont to win so it would end my misery ASAP. Even though I am a Duke fan, I still think it was a neat almost upset.<BR/><BR/>I realize everyone hates Duke, and that is just fine with me. I think it is funny how Simmons is so aware how much people hate Duke, but can't seem to quite grasp the concept that people also despise the Red Sox and the Patriots just as much. It's like he lives in his own little fantasy world where what he likes is the only thing that matters. If he went to a bar near where I live I would guess he could find as people that hate UNC and NC State as hate Duke. I would also guess that everyone in the bar would hate the Patriots and the Red Sox just as much. <BR/><BR/>You are right Chris about it being a fifteen seed over a two seed and that is why most people were cheering as well. I have never been a big anti-Iowa State fan, but I sure was cheering pretty hard when Hampton beat them a few years ago. See, if he knew ANYTHING about college basketball, he would know this.Bengoodfellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09401971573776672570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6300012139741038635.post-89070141013192529302008-03-28T05:59:00.000-07:002008-03-28T05:59:00.000-07:00PS: FANTASY SPORTS BRO!

I have been screaming this to myself for a while now. Ever since he got on the Kevin Durant bandwagon last year. I have no idea what mock draft he has been looking at but I am pretty sure I have seen Kevin Love high up there in almost all of them. He has no point or reason for outrage. <BR/><BR/>Archie, he really thinks he can be the GM of a basketball team. I am not kidding. His ego says, "hell, I wrote for a late night show and had no experience at that, why could I not run a NBA team? It just takes a little common sense. I am the perfect candidate." I think he is honestly expecting to get the job or at least someone to consider him.Bengoodfellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09401971573776672570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6300012139741038635.post-49746659924727456382008-03-27T23:24:00.000-07:002008-03-27T23:24:00.000-07:00Bravo, sir, expertly handled.My main question abou...Bravo, sir, expertly handled.<BR/><BR/>My main question about the Bucks job thing - for a joke like that to work, isn't it pretty much required that the person who proposes it not take himself seriously? I feel like the idea of someone randomly announcing him or herself as a candidate for a GM job is a concept full of potential satire opportunities and yet...and yet...all it comes across as is a self-important jerk who is actually legitimately surprised no one is taking this seriously.<BR/><BR/>For fun, I imagined what it would be like if, say, Stephen Colbert pulled the same stunt.

Also of note is that most mock drafts now have Kevin Love in their top ten, so Simmons' outrage makes no sense. It seems very clear to me that he's watched little if any college ball prior to the tournament (Wow, this Lopez character is pretty good! DeAndre Jordan is way overrated!). This wouldn't be a problem if he didn't frame all of his observations as written in stone pronouncements. So thanks for calling him out and even dropping a For Better or For Worse reference on top of it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
