Bill Simmons: Gutless punk

I was sickened to read Bill Simmons' article, "Who let the underdogs out?" yesterday.  In it, he openly states that he is hoping personal injury to certain NFL players.  

I am a Chiefs fan, a Colts fan, and a NFL fan in general.  I root for my teams, I hope the teams they are playing lose, but I NEVER, and I mean NEVER, wish or even THINK that it would be a good thing for any player on the field to get injured.

To wish injury on someone for the sole purpose of winning a fantasy football game is reprehensible. Something should be done about this mean-spirited and downright evil man.

As if reading this asshole's blind homerism for the Patriots isn't enough, now we have to hear him openly root for Colts players to get injured. I don't know why I would expect ESPN to care though, your head is so far up the Patriots ass, I might as well have sent this to the New England Public Relations department.  I believe you guys share the same office, correct?

First off, the guy isn't in the same category as Peter King or John Clayton, where he has to give a fair and balanced view of what's going on. He writes about whatever sports-related topic he feels like, and he's freely admitted on several occasions that he's a huge homer for the Pats and Celtics. He's written two columns dedicated specifically to the Colts, namely the one before last season's Colts-Pats game and after the AFC Championship game.

Secondly, as much as we all like to pretend that we never wish harm on a player on another team, we've all done it. I was at the IU-Illinois football game two weekends ago, and I kept thinking "Juice Williams is going to get popped and break something eventually" and kinda hoping it would happen on the next play. We've all been there. This is a guy who less than a year ago watched his favorite team get this close to another title (because let's be realistic, the Bears wouldn't have made the playoffs in the AFC), and have it snatched away by someone he considers his personal nemesis. I don't agree with it, but I can see where he's coming from.

As is often said, let he who is without sin cast the first stone. I don't think any of us are without sin on this one, so let's just focus on staying positive and hoping for the quick and complete recovery of Marvin, Rob, and Joe. And I suppose Travis Henry. After all, the guy has nine illegitimate kids to feed.

And then he wished that some players would get hurt, and made JOKES out of it? In Brazil, the sports writers are shit, totally shit. Sometimes they go kinda of deep too in being assholes, but I never saw anything quite like that. Never. Not even close.

If I didn't miss anything in the translation, this guy is a motherfucker, who don't know cock about football or 'work ethics'. Man... I hope I'm stupid.
