What's the third "B" for?

It's not that I'm dyslexic, but seeing the "Q" in there threw me off, and in my mind's eye, I reversed it with the "B" and thought this was a thread about Peter King's "Monday Morning Barbecue" (MMBQ) which, were it true, would be one of the longest articles ever written.

Oh, and Peter King's a douche.

I'd love to read a Slaky reaction to Simmons picks.  Or to just about anything he writes. 

I know I ran across some blogger via Deadspin who writes reviews of Simmons' articles. It was as weak as...well, as weak as Simmons probably is. He actually tried to objectively review them and actually praised some of them. How lame.

Oh, and Kelly kicks Simmons in the dick tip when it comes to writing on the NBA.

Quote• Seattle struggled on the offensive line. No Steve Hutchinson. We knew that. The all-pro guard went to Minnesota in free agency. But when Walter Jones went out for a few series with a sprained ankle in Detroit, the left side of the offensive line was Tom Ashworth at tackle and Pork Chop Womack at guard. That was ugly. So was the time of the game, Matt Hasselbeck told me. "First game of the year, East Coast game, 5 a.m. wake-up calls for us, our time, and not a Starbucks in sight,'' he said. "Not to make excuses, but these Eastern road games are tough for a West Coast team.''

Who the hell does Matty think he is?  Moises Alou?

I think DJ Gallo has great ideas.  Problem is, he's a shit writer and can't translate them into his articles.

I sat right in front of King at Wrigley last year. He was in town to do a story on Orton before the season started. I guess the Bears were not cooperating with him as much as he would have liked, and he couldn't understand why a "shit team" as he called them wouldn't want the good publicity from a nice story about their rookie quarterback.

Let me tell you, the man loves the sound of his own voice. He did not shut up the whole game, and was practically screaming at the top of his lungs so everyone could hear him tell his friend about all of his sportwriting adventures. Of course this was after he complained about people recognizing him and talking to him all the time.

That's a typo

Good work gentlemen.  I was hoping that I'd find this bit finished when I got home.

I need closure on that anecdote!

Cheers.  I'm a top notch dick tip kicker. 

Simmons knows his stuff when it comes to the NBA, I have to give him credit for that -- but he gets stuck in these "it sounds good in my head" ruts that he refuses to crawl out of, sort of the NBA version of the Curly Haired Boyfriend's curse-heavy style.  If he'd approach the game with the idea that, shock horror, he could learn something new from each game he watches or stat sheet he trawls through, then he might be better. 

What continually gets me about Simmons is, and even among a-hole sportswriters he sticks out ... is there a bigger misogynist out there?  Can't some copy editor at espen change all those "girls" to "women" in his next missive?  I can Champ Kind it up with the best of them, but dayum ...


Yah mo B there!
