Doc is right though

Simmons isn't a journalist. He's a fan, and he's open about it.

Not sure why ESPN let's him do TV. Just stick to reality shite and Boston fan boi columns like he used to do.

Funny part part is he could choose to be a great journalist but rather be a fan who beefs with everyone

because he's the most popular personality ESPN has. He wrote a bestselling book on basketball and basketball is his passion which plays well in print and on TV.

Jalen and Bill are the best thing to happen to ESPN's NBA coverage in 10 years.

BS is definitely a journalist, just a biased one. Which, given the state of politics in this country, should really be nothing new to any of us.

The days of unbiased, just-the-facts-reporting, have passed us - especially in sports where it really doesn't matter anyway. Especially at ESPN.

BS gets viewers...just like Stephen A....just like Bayless. The only thing I question ESPN on is why do they only have the mouths (except for Bayless) only talking about the NBA?

I mean, with the state of affairs in the NFL right now, a brash, out-spoken journalist could be having a field day!

I don't get why Doc gets a pass for being an over paid mediocre coach and a quitter so everyone can beat on BS. Do people not realize that doc was KG and Ray away from bein fired? Has his tenure in Orlando been just deleted? The guy quit on his franchise and was a bitch about it. It will be fun to see what happens when he and the clips can't get out of their way in a couple of years.

BS is being kinda pissy about it, but doc has been a bitch.
