Broken Simmons

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall,
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall;
All the King's horses and all the King’s men,
Couldn't put Humpty together again.

This piece brilliantly captures how Bill Simmons, once a great writer with true passion and a funny perspective, became the tired hack he is today. Always biased, he’s become even moreso now. He’s now a lazy writer who has “made it” and has such disdain for his readers that he doesn’t even pretend to care any more.

I only wish I could take credit for the blow-by-blow assault they lay on Simmons. Nothing feels better than tearing down someone that was once an idol but is now a decrepit farce.
