Bill Simmons

Ok so there is this fairly famous sports writer, he calls himself the Sports Guy and he writes for ESPN. He has the job I want, because he can write about anything in the sports world he wants. I do not hate this man, but I want to make it very clear to everyone that he does not speak for all of New England whith what he says. If he comes at a New York Yankees player or the organization as a whole, not everyone in Red Sox nation agrees. I hate the Yankees I won't deny that, but I respect every single one of those guys because they are one of the greatest sports organizations...Pretty much ever. I hate A-Rod, but he is one hell of a baseball player.

Nothing gets my panties in a bunch more than when someone trying to argue about sports with me says, "Well Bill Simmons said..." I want to make it clear I am not Bill Simmons nor will I ever be Bill Simmons. My name is Joe and yes I like all Boston Sports, but Bill Simmons does not speak for me. He is a great writer and I respect him for what he does, and I hope one day I could be in his shoes writing about what I think of the sports world and have people think that what I say, is exactly what everyone in New England thinks, but they would be mistaken. I am going to see Mr. Simmons tomorrow at the Borders Bookstore on Broad Street, I'm going to shake his hand and beg for a job or at least an internship....


Please?
