    Holy Shit, my favorite sports (perhaps non-fiction?) writer has appeared on Deadspin. I am through the looking glass.

    And yes, this man has read his W.C. Heinz, Buzz. #billsimmons

    " He did very little that was new. But he did it on the Internet. He created a gig for himself and sold it well. That should be good enough."

    In otherwords, Simmons is Harry Crane. #billsimmons

    I am surprised that Pierce didn't relate the rise of the Sports Guy to the coincident administration of another Connecticut preppie with delusional pretensions to sympathy with the darker nation, George W. Bush. Missed a slow one over the middle there, Charles.

    Also, the "f" thing was for the lower-case "s." #billsimmons

    I'm not a Simmons fan, so I won't even bother to hopelessly defend him (after all, your 3 main points are pretty accurate). However, even though it's 700 pages, the book has a legitimate progression where one thought leads to the next. He doesn't tell the Isiah story because it's entertaining; he uses it as a springboard to detail why some players pass his smell test and others don't. I haven't finished yet, so I can't say that I'll enjoy the ending, but it's at least entertaining. Unless you hated Simmons as much as Drew Magary hates Brad Childress, you wouldn't have read all 700 pages. #billsimmons

    Charles P. Pierce. Isn't he the irreverent but haughty hybrid — some would say M*A*S*Hup — of Hawkeye Pierce and Charles Emerson Winchester III? If so, I'll bet he uses big words that smell like Army-grade moonshine and chronic foot rot. #billsimmons

    Also, lose most of the footnotes.

    Indeed sir. His obsession with footnotes is a fucking nightmare. #billsimmons

    Hint: People have been ladling out that kind of hooey in reference to baseball literally for centuries

    Somewhere, Joe Morgan tries to figure out how to make that dang "add to cart" button work. #billsimmons

    Charles P. Pierce's takedown of the Sports Guy is an epic piece of literary criticism. Read it today!

    "A Simmons hasn't been this pilloried since Gene's 2022 divorce" says Darren Daulton of the TimeSpace Tribune.

    Charles P. Pierce's criticism of the Sports Guy, read it today!

    It's like reading one of those Pamphlets from 1772, except that the Author's name is not spelled, "Fimmonf."

    And here I thought that the author of the Bill of Rights just had a severe, text-based lisp. #billsimmons
