That's awesome. ESPN's been completely dead to me since their forced "QBR" bullshit. I'm glad Simmon's is telling them to go fuck themselves

NFL 2 weeks for knocking out a woman.
ESPN 3 weeks for calling Goodell a liar.
Simmons wins this round.
Fuck you ESPN.

Sure, why the hell not. Someone may as well get some enjoyment out of this Packers' season.

My feelings pretty much. I used to read everything he wrote and listen to his podcasts, but ever since Grantland, I've been reading less and less from him. He seems to take himself a lot more seriously than he used to...or maybe it's just more apparent now that he's on tv.

He takes himself pretty seriously just for the NBA stuff on TV, his NBA previews are pretty funny and I like the podcasts as it's all about trying to tie in cultural or gambling references. Even if he's gone downhill since his heydey it's still a hell of a lot better than everything else ESPN has not to mention most of the Grantland writers he hired are excellent.

Simmons is one of the only media members that can get away with what he's doing. He's big enough that he could quit and just hire writers to turn BillSimmons.com into a sports info & opinion hub. He's one of very few media personalities that could successfully do this without the backing of a major media network like CBS, NBC, Fox...

Tyrone Crawford was another good pick - he's been either the 1st or 2nd highest rated DE by PFF the last two weeks.
Cowboys have definitely been making better decisions lately (letting Ware and Hatcher go included, even if it weakens their defense this year), and it's either because of Garrett or Will McClay - and less of Jerry. Their defense sucks so badly right now because of the absolutely terrible drafts from 2007-2010 when Wade was here - they don't have a single person on the squad from the 2009 draft as far as I know. Completely blowing later round picks for 3 years really affects the depth of your defense.

If the Bengals are a model of a team that's been drafting well (they have) and the Cowboys are a team that started to do things right since 2011, then they should start having similar on-field success (as in, a perennial playoff team) within two years. The current Bengals team outside of three players have all been drafted since 2009. With the only FA signings being Cowboys CB castoffs who have been awesome for us. Seriously. Thanks for Terence Newman. The dude is one of our best corners.

Fact
09 was the first year of the Scott Pioli/Todd Haley regime in Kansas City. Our draft was a total dumpster fire
What a goddamned disaster. Only decent player was the last pick of the draft, Mr Irrelevant Ryan Succop, he's a solid kicker(still can't believe we got rid of him this year)
The whole 2009 draft was just badNational Football League: NFL Draft History. There are what, 3-4 all pro players from the first round (Clay Matthews, Hakeem Nicks, Vontae Davis, and maybe Cushing/Orakpo), and maybe 10-15 players from the entire draft who are starters now.
