I wasn't referring to you and Simmons. But it is pretty tiring sifting through the MLB thread having to skip past every fangraphs article posted just to show how dumb it is

edit: really this doesn't belong in the simmons thread. i will stick to talking about what a jackass he is itt from now on. we can continue this scintillating me vs tz discussion in the faq thread if you like.

well i am far from the first person to criticize simmons itt.

but as soon as i do, 4 tzers immediately jump on me, and not in the faq thread where i have left pretty much all the ****talking.

i'm not saying you coordinated an attack on me over skype.

but i will say that for as obsessed as you guys claim i am about skype, you guys seem awfully obsessed with me.

especially you, c-viggity. you have alternated between saying what a bad poster i am and inviting me to cyber with you in every single thread we have ever both posted in.

Self-centered much?

the article touched on quite a bit more than just that

also Simmons is bringing it upon himself, by naming the site Grantland he's putting himself beside a legendary sportswriter. As the article says, Bill Simmons is to Grantland Rice what Tucker Max is to Hunter Thompson.

while this argument got quite ridiculous quite fast, my favorite instance of bill simmons's arrogance was when he claimed to have invented rickrolling in the 1980s. he's just 'that guy', everyone knows someone like him.

"My pseudo-prediction for OKC-Memphis: either OKC wins by 15+ or loses outright. I think Memph has a 50-50 chance of winning.."

The reasonableness of that distribution aside, this doesnt seem to crack the top quartile for sports-commentator-meets-math ******edness. Kind of surprised to see it quoted here twice.

Not anywhere near as bad as "@ASTOCK5: doesnt everyone have a 50-50 chance of winning?"
