ESPN Deems Bill Simmons' Fantasy Basketball Entrant NSFW

The Big Lead hopped on this story (via Hank Brockett) earlier today about ESPN forbidding Bill Simmons from having adult entertainer/blogger/ESPN fan boy Christian, of Christian Sings the Blues (NOT ANYWHERE CLOSE TO BEING SAFE FOR WORK), in his fantasy basketball league (along with roto dungeon master Matthew Berry), due to the graphic nature of the blog. Deadspin readers might remember Christian as the man who took those fun photos of Michael Wilbon and JA Adande getting a little rumpy-pumpy with several starlets of the industry a few months back, or his ability to execute a stand-up 69 position without throwing his back out. I shot Christian an email to ask him how he took the news of his banishment and he said he was "surprised" by ESPN's decision to cut him off. "I can understand their decision as being the safe one, but I still think its dumb. Just put a disclaimer about me and move on. I don't know," he wrote. But, hey, uh, Christian how did you and Bill end up becoming so friendly to begin with? "I sent him an email telling him to check out my blog and he wrote back that he liked it....this was in Jan. We spoke over email like twice after that." Now we know one of Bill Simmons casual online masturbation sites. Oh, and this is what Matthew Berry looks like when he's trying to woo a lady with his fantasy wizardry:

Ten bucks says he showed her a card trick moments after this photo was taken. ESPN and porn evidently don't mix [Hank Brockett]
