Bill Simmons: A Sports Column Written Far From Print, and the Game
- scotch_drinker 17y agoIt continues to fascinate me how someone who is willing to work hard and follow his passion can use the Internet to do something previously thought impossible. I love Simmons and his writing. I probably never would have heard of him in the days before he could easily publish on the Web. There are an multitude of voices just like his out there that I look forward to discovering.
- sgoraya 17y agoHis Vegas columns are some of my favorites; my friends and I can relate to them on so many levels. I look forward to his column every Friday (though he has not been updating as often lately, probably due to his book signing schedule). Its one of the few columns/articles that can literally make me LoL... Purchased his book but have not had a chance to dive into it yet :)
- dhyasama 17y agoHere's his newest: http://www.amazon.com/Book-Basketball-NBA-According-Sports/dp/034551176X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1258486548&sr=8-1 http://www.amazon.com/Book-Basketball-NBA-According-Sports/d... I'm a ways in (it's big) and it's enjoyable so far.
- zach 17y agoSimmons is just expounding, at the highest level, the fascinations, lifestyle and thoughts of a guy who likes sports. So much so that he actually doesn't cover sports as much as he covers being a sports fan.
