THE SPORTS GUY: RIGHT ON!
Man years ago, while surfing the net, I came across a guy on Boston.com named BSG-The Boston Sports Guy. He was witty, clever, a total sports junkie, a fan of pop culture and he posted great stuff EVERY DAY. Not too many people knew about him, but after a while, his popularity was undeniable. That's the great thing about the internet. If you're good, people will find out about it quickly. Before long, BSG became Bill Simmons, the Sports Guy. He was hired by ESPN, wrote for the Jimmy Kimmel Show and eventually started his own site, Grantland.com, which is a MUST READ every day because it captures the pulse of the sports fan. And that's what Simmons is, a fan. But he's also a journalist, and sometimes that gets in the way of how you REALLY feel. Been there, done that for many years. If you want to stir up controversy, you'd better be prepared for the shitstorm that follows.
