ESPN Suspends Bill Simmons For Being A Little Bitch

Mediate -  Earlier today The Big Lead asked if Bill Simmons, ESPN’s prolific columnist and New York Times bestselling author, is “serving an ESPN-imposed 2-week suspension from Twitter.”  Now we have an answer — it’s true.

ESPN Press Release – No one knows the guidelines better than Bill Simmons, and he customarily works within these standards. He also understands, as does everyone else at ESPN, that we regard these guidelines as being equally important when participating in social media. While it’s unfortunate — and sometimes painful — that not everyone outside of ESPN chooses to play by such rules, we choose to hold ourselves to higher standards. Regardless of the provocation, Bill’s communication regarding WEEI fell short of those standards. So we’ve taken appropriate measures

BAHAAA! How fucking embarrassing is this? I mean a grown man getting suspended from using Twitter? Hey Bill do you need to get permission to take a leak too? Seriously though as much as I think Simmons is a pussy for fighting his battles with Twitter, ESPN can calm down here. Who fucking cares whether he trashes the Big Show or not. You want to suspend him for something suspend him for this hatchet job he did on Bill Belichick on Friday;

“Did it feel like the end of an era? Yeah, a little. The truth is, Belichick is 57 years old. I doubt he’s banking those famous 19-hour work days anymore. I doubt he possesses the same hunger that fueled him when he was trying to escape Bill Parcells’ shadow and make a name for himself. Everything is gravy for him at this point. His place in history is secure. Bill Belichick might just be a coach who climbed the mountain a few times, then decided he needed to cement his legacy by being the ballsiest football coach any of us have ever seen. If that’s true, he failed Sunday night.”

Now this is some serious shit. Forget about that twitter nonsense. I mean you start questioning Bill Belichick’s desire to win and that’s a fireable offense in my mind. Unless of course you work for the Globe or Herald and then it’s par for the course. Either way Boston Sports Guy my ass.
