Grantland: A Bill Simmons Joint

[Eli]

They should just run Michael Schur articles and nothing else.

I had pretty much avoided Grantland until I saw he posted something. I'll probably do the same until he writes again.

They should, just as Jerry Glanville always left tickets for Elvis Presley and Loni Anderson, just leave a username and password for Grantland Rice just in case he decides to rise from the dead and write something. Until then, just leave it dark.

Indeed.That's my plan as well.

After last week's pathetic attempt at a hockey column, in which Bill Simmons hailed the tough play of Bruins' forward "Patrick Beverly" - he tries again to fit in with a piece celebrating Boston's latest champion. Sadly, Mr. Simmons didn't learn from his mistakes and world be damned he refuses to get an editor or a fact-checker. After Twitter blew up the mistake was fixed but I captured a screenshot for posterity. In essence, he tries to create an entire narrative around something that never happened. Observe and spot the error(s):

Mea Culpa, it would appear.

My last sports memory was that Cubs game against the Brewers when John Grabow gave up a double to Sergio Mitre. Wait, what were we doing?

Fair enough, I can respect that.

Hey, if you guys can't appreciate yet another piece in which a bunch of sportswriters reminisce about how awesome/crazy/stupendous the National Sports Daily was, then the hell with you.

If Ken Tremendous brings back FJM style, Grantland will be the bestest site ever you guys.

My first sports memory was this game, I believe: http://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/199212130chi.htm . Last win of Mike Ditka's career in Chicago. There may be something from before that but I remember thinking that Neal Anderson must be some sort of God.

Also the last win of Mike Singletary's career.

At least until his wildly successful tenure as a head coach.

This. Also angers the semen. Please cease and desist. I choose to remember Samuai Mike as he was in 1985. He knocked 'em cold, did he not?

I guess when you run 1500 pieces a week, a few are bound to be good.  Which is nice.

Anyway, I enjoyed this: http://www.grantland.com/story/_/id/6658200/lord-stanley-grail

I found Klosterman's Rock-Vorp article interesting.
Nothing subjective about it, it's all math.
