Comments on: ESPN Suspends Bill Simmons For Being A Little Bitch http://boston.barstoolsports.com/random-thoughts/espn-suspends-bill-simmons-for-being-a-baby/ Thu, 09 Feb 2012 09:23:51 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: JohnnyO http://boston.barstoolsports.com/random-thoughts/espn-suspends-bill-simmons-for-being-a-baby/#comment-58032 JohnnyO Mon, 23 Nov 2009 18:05:13 +0000 http://boston.barstoolsports.com/?p=6788#comment-58032 Problem with BSG is that he’s done what 99% of Americans do when they see an opportunity. He sold out. He decided doing what he did well – being a Boston sports fan – was less important than opening up his fan base. So his articles became more general, and thus generic – in order to appeal to a larger set of customers. It’s not surprising that his original fan base is a bit put off by all of that. I certainly don’t read him anymore – and he was my daily shit-read back in the day…. Problem with BSG is that he’s done what 99% of Americans do when they see an opportunity. He sold out.
