if Chris Jones had a more distinctive name we could just GIS him and tweet making fun of him for every picture we found of him wearing a band t-shirt, sports team shirt, or any kind of logo. YOU'RE NOT THAT TEAM/BAND/CORPORATION

dear god these. it started to make me angry so I stopped reading halfway through

the @gruntland33 twitter account seems to have retired, but he had some amazing material

Wow Lombardi. His argument against the Palmer trade is that the Raiders wouldn't have made that trade if Campbell was healthy, so they shouldn't do it now that he's hurt. Congrats on finding the one slightly valid reason FOR making one of the worst trades ever and using that reason as your lone argument against it.

To me, when they go to Toby Gerhart after Adrian Peterson, they go from a really explosive back to a slower back and the defense says "Oh thank God he's in there"

Mike Lombardi really loves the NBA analogies when talking to Simmons.

interesting. I get the impression he's a genuinely good guy.

that was the best BS Report he's done. episode started great and got progressively better 10/10.

I thought a 3rd rounder for Michael Bush was the most laughable part of the podcast.

Also isn't Sanchez statistically having his best season so far? LOL Simbardi

Chris Jones' favourite band is The Weakerthans. Even though they're pretty cool, that automatically makes him a huge whiny bitch. Just fyi, for my 'Murican friends itt.

Sorry, it's been too many years. Little stuff, though, like complaining about the hotel, demanding a suite, wanting a limo at his beck and call.

All of it struck me as, "Well, he IS the best at what he does, he IS a star, maybe he's not completely out of line with this stuff."

Also remember they passed him over once when they broke up the Cosell/Gifford/Meredith act, and he held a grudge about that pretty good. Whatever they tried failed miserably, so they went back to AM, and he put their feet to the fire during negotiations, really made 'em pay for the perceived snub.

Also, he was once paired with a horrible partner in the booth (can't recall who, sorry), and he never quit bitching about it. But again, I felt sympathetic to AM on this score, too. Even a prima donna can be right sometimes.

uhhh no. hes been awful this year

Sanchez has set career highs in throwing interceptions

sanchez could be undefeated with 15 TDs and 2 INT and I'd still maintain that he's been garbage, based on what I've seen this year

gonna say, ol' Simmons makes a lot of sense here

I like how Simmons pretends he isn't rich and dropping a few grand on Kings season tickets matters to him

I don't get why he acts flabbergasted that the two sides haven't reached an agreement. It's almost assuredly part of the owners' strategy to have players miss paychecks.

Very exciting implications.

Could be some epic anti-simmonds rants

Not only can he obviously afford it, it is also probably a tax deductible business expense. Also worth noting that as a major national sports writer he could easily get a press credential and go to whatever sporting event he wants to without paying for a ticket.

HOLY **** DUDE GIVE IT UP WE ****ING KNOW YOU WANT THIS AND THINK YOU CAN LEGITIMATELY HAVE AN IMPACT ON YOUR FAVORITE LEAGUE BY HAVING IT IMPLEMENTED AND YES WE ****ING KNOW YOU KNOW GMS OWNERS AND PLAYERS AND ARE WELL CONNECTED WITHIN THE LEAGUE. ****.

i'm usually the last to reach and call things racist but...

sorta racisty

Eh. More a Canadians are aliens from Planet Polite thing than a race thing.

It's the limited intellectual capacity part that's racisty (and badly, badly worded).

Meh, Simmons is a spud, but that's not a bad article.

What's racist about hockey being the sport with the most blue collar, lunch pail, hard working, fan favorite players
