Say what you want about Bill Simmons, but he's not boring. Bill Simmons FINALLY found his niche in the NBA Draft. My god, he was comic gold during draft and the only reason to watch all those hours.
Doris Burke is a terrible replacement though....but not unhappy Magic is gone. He was kinda useless. I don't mind Jalen and Bill together. They have chemistry.

My first experience today with someone writing a "sources" report about me that's not true. Part amusing, part horrifying.[/QUOTE]
So, who knows....

[QUOTE=Bill Simmons]This is great. Go newspapers! [url]http://lat.ms/19D7oCs[/url] Wait, so why is @magicjohnson coming on my podcast next week if we have a "rift"???[/QUOTE]
sounds like this rumor is bullshit
Re: Sources: Bill Simmons is the reason Magic Johnson left ESPN
Dunno, can't see Simmons having that much pull over there.

Simmons is the only thing that makes nba countdown watchable.

Magic might be upset that Wilbon won't be there to kiss his ass every 3 seconds
Re: Sources: Bill Simmons is the reason Magic Johnson left ESPN
Both Wilbon and Magic were terrible. Good riddance. Doris Burke is probably even worse though.
Re: Sources: Bill Simmons is the reason Magic Johnson left ESPN
The original link provided earlier basically debunk those claims.
Who knows how true they may be, Magic is known to be a two faced.

How can the greatest playmaker be so shallow in his understanding of the game off court :confusedshrug:

Heh, probably. Wilbon is by far the biggest star slurper on the airwaves.
Re: Sources: Bill Simmons is the reason Magic Johnson left ESPN
I honestly don't care.
I turn the tv when they're talking anyway.
If it's not Barkley, EJ, or Kenny I don't want to hear it
Re: Sources: Bill Simmons is the reason Magic Johnson left ESPN
Bill Simmons and Magic Johnson go to each other's houses for BBQs and movies.
No way this rumor is true.
But if it is, thank you Bill, Magic was awful.
Re: Sources: Bill Simmons is the reason Magic Johnson left ESPN
Bill and Jalen are great. I hope the sources are true, that way my fear of Simmons getting fired go down a bit.
