No more role for Simmons through the rest of the NBA playoffs.

Like I said before, I side with Simmons on this one. Not because I like him but because I'm tired of the way the world is. The dudes with the talent are getting bossed around by execs. That's dumb shit.

It works, but then they get to the point where they are like WE DONT NEED U. And it's like arite then. **** it.

Grantland is going to be strange without Simmons and his clones.

[Sarcastic]

He criticized Roger Goodell too much, and the NFL got mad. Not a hard choice for ESPN. NFL millions or Simmons shitty commentary.

thats retarded

if youre going to take a vacation to juice, going to miami is the most suspect thing you can do. he can do whatever he needs to do in miami in cleveland. except the weather is different

ever think that he actually just took a vacation for the weather and chill?

ESPN is effectively the NFL Network part II.
So going after Goodell the way he did was giving himself the hook.

[Timmy D for MVP]

So you're telling me that Bill Simmons was suspended right at the beginning of the NBA season and we missed a ton of content like his breakdown of every team coming into the season?

And now during the playoffs he's not going to be producing anything again!?

Poor timing. Couldn't they do this in August?
