    Geez, I can't imagine why Simmons might ignore the email.
    Really, I can't..the damn thing was too long and I refuse to read it all.

    I don't know how Danny boy found the time to write such a strongly worded letter in between cashing all his royalty cheques.

    For an English major you would think he understands "P.S." means postscript and doesn't belong in the middle of his damned letter?

    You don't need Sports Fella's acknowledgement Danny, you still have your successful acting career to fall back on.

    He was also damn good, played as hard as anyone ever has and adjusted his game in ways that nobody has ever given him credit for

    And that was just at the titty bars!

    My stage name was Danny Gerard. Look it up.

    As a matter of fact I did, and was shocked to learn that you have never appeared on Intervention as yourself.

    Lemme tell you something, Danny Lanzetta - you are no Danny Pintauro.

    Hell, you're barely even a Danny Cooksey.

    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.

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