Sports Guy Scandal
Put simply, he's the funniest man in sports. Gets me every time. And with Seinfeld's near-retirement...I wanted to honor the Sports Guy with a run-down of his college 'ball related columns.
But I couldn't find 'em. (Save this pathetic attempt and this average chronicle. That's two. Of his more than a hundred columns.)
And so the other shoe dropped. From an ESPN live chat with Bill Simmons himself:
Fan: Why don't you ever write about college basketball?
Sports Guy: I don't start watching until March. It's just too hard to follow -- guys only stay in school for two years, and there are 75-plus major programs. It's fun to root against Boston College, though. I wouldn't let Al Skinner coach a YMCA team.
