The Bitmapped Bill Simmons
This image was lost some time after publication. We're no experts on graphic design, or magazine picture quality, or anything like that — there are all kinds of things we're not experts in today — but we have to say, the new ESPN magazine internal redesign has us a little loopy.
This is the column mug shot — in electronic! — of our boy Bill Simmons. It's right next to his now-page-and-a-half column.
We're not sure what to say about this, except ... well, which "Mike Tyson's Punch-Out" character do you think he looks like the most? We're going with Soda Popinski ... with hair, of course.
But seriously: Does Simmons have a gap in his teeth we don't know about?
