Bill Simmons is a good guy. He wrote a great column a while back about chosing a random EPL team (as a guy who seems to like soccer but had no idea about the sport).

Just goes to show you can apply good journalism to just about anything.

I could do without his constant Boston love, but do like his style of working in pop culture references and crazy analogies.

been following Bill for years.
An avid reader of his page 2 articles, and love his insight into sports.

Just finished his book , and a weekly listener to his B.S. Report PodCasts.

if its only 15 seconds, anyone want to recap? Basically the guy bill simmons is talking too, says toronto is a beautiful city, and our support is border line european. Personally, i dont think it is, we have a lot of work to reach the standards of the teams like marseille, man utd, dinamo zagreb, arsenal, liverpool, barcelona, ac & inter milan. We're getting pretty close to teams from east euro countries like poland, czech republic, ukraine.

That, and he told Simmons he has to go to the All-Star game to experience that crowd. I was waiting for Simmons to ask why when ASG's are typically all corporate schmoozefests but he never jumped on that one.

I have been reading Page 2 stuff for years, especially TSG. I even emailed him a while back inviting him to a game.

On some things, he has an open perspective. But in others, you just can't beat the American out of him completely.
