Did Bill Simmons Make A Fool Of Himself On <i>WWE Raw</i>?
Bill Simmons joined Snoop Dogg as a special guest on tonight's WWE Raw, and if that sounds like the dumbest thing in the world to you, you'd be right.

Bill Simmons Is A Name-Dropping Waste
So Bill Simmons offered a "sneak" preview today of the third part of his NBA Trade Value column.

Rex Ryan Got A Giant Bills Logo Painted On His Truck
I will always find Rex Ryan's willingness to go full fanboy on whatever team he's coaching to be immensely charming. It was great when he got a picture of his wife wearing nothing but a Jets jersey tattooed on his arm, and it was great when he got that Jets jersey turned into a Bills one. So I am 10...

Bill Self Gets Crushed By Court-Stormers, Is Not Pleased
Unranked Kansas State knocked off the in-state rival Jayhawks at home last night, and that means it was time for a good old-fashioned court stormin'. Unfortunately for Kansas head coach Bill Self, the students who ran onto the court weren't too concerned with his well-being....

Rex Ryan Has Tattoo Of Wife Wearing Jets Jersey Darkened To Bills Blue

Bill Simmons Had Lena Dunham Back On His Podcast, And They Said Things
For the third time now, thought leader Lena Dunham joined multiplatform presence Bill Simmons on his podcast yesterday. It was a typically awkward and at times baffling example of audience cross-pollination between two people with little in common besides their love of their own voices. Dunham has...
