    In reply to Sports Fella "Suspended" Over Angry Tweets, Not Allowed To Watch TV, Talk On Phone For Two Weeks
    As an avid WEEI listener (my job is boring as shit, you see) a little background on this rivalry:

    A while back Ordway, Smerlas and DeOssie met Simmons at a conference. They had a pretty good conversation, and supposedly exchanged mutual admiration for their work. All appeared to be fine.

    A few weeks back, Simmons wrote somewhere that WEEI is only around because they built a monopoly on the sports radio market and have never had any competitors (which is untrue), and that their on-air personalities are lacking and past their prime (which may be true).

    Simmons then went on the morning show Dennis and Callahan and they questioned him on this statement. Being the sissy he is Simmons lauded their work and said he was only talking about the afternoon guys (Ordway & company).

    Being that in their only conversation in the past Simmons told these guys how much he liked their work, The Big Show wanted an explanation, and asked on-air for Simmons to appear on their show. Simmons initially agreed, then ended up (cowardly) repeatedly canceling on the day he was supposed to appear. Ordway called him out on this and this is when these Twitter "attacks" appeared.

    Bottom line: Whenever Simmons is actually questioned on the crap he comes out with he shrinks into his shell and reverts to Twitter attacks like a 13 year old girl. Lame, Simmons. Lame.

    @Nothing Can Kill the Grimace...: As long as I've conveyed what a petulant child Simmons truly is when it comes to handling any situation in an adult matter, my mission is accomplished.

    Oh ESPN, this makes me think of a line from Macbeth. From Act 5, Scene 5, specifically.

    They should probably stop using interns as bike racks, too. Undoes one solution, but fixes another.

    a complete review of the workplace environment for all entry level positions with particular focus on studio and remote production staffing
    They are going to lower the broadcast desks so short guys can bend the interns over, too.

    * "Assless Chaps Tuesday" will be replaced by "Chaps Tuesday," though solely for the purpose of eliminating redundancy.

    *Howie Schwab will cease walking the campus with an erection, begging people to "stump him."

    *Wandering eyes will no longer be tolerated. As such, Stu Scott has been fired.

    and HR will be following up over the next 90 days with details.

    I was expecting him to come forward with a 45 day plan with a step each day. Day 45: no more sexual harassment... Day 44, anyone?
