Bill Simmons' Epic Battle With Star Jones

Here's something that will make your day: Our Boy Bill Simmons is playing in an NBA.com "celebrity" fantasy basketball league that includes such luminaries as Pamela Anderson, Cedric the Entertainer, Michael Rapaport and, yes yes yes, Star Jones herself.

We'll be tracking this all season, obviously, because wherever Bill Simmons and Star Jones are competing, Deadspin will be there. Week 1 Matchups include Simmons vs. Bernie Mac, Pam Anderson vs. Star Jones, Matthew Modine vs. Cedric the Entertainer and ... you know, we're starting to feel dumb even typing this.
