ESPN has his wife's bracket selection since she always has better NFL picks than him.

"Washington State (4) over George Mason (12): The state of Washington gave me "Singles" and Pearl Jam, so that's worth a Sweet 16 vote"

    I have to agree with that. He once made a comment about Ed "phoning in" I Am Mine. So I sent him the link to Ed's solo rendition of the song from one of the SF shows in '06. Bill wrote back and all he said is "I stand corrected"

    Good stuff! :)

    Too bad he fucking sucks. Guess not every PJ fan can be cool. He's the biggest homer douchebag, especially when his teams are winning. He had 18-1 coming to him, and I'm glad. Suck it, Simmons.

    dude, he just writes about his teams. hes a fan and its his blog so hes allowed to write about the teams he likes. hes a great writer and is very knowledgable about sports, particularly basketball. i am a yanks and giants fan and he always makes fun of them, but it doesnt bother me. i really enjoy his blog and i love to read everything he writes.

    Simmons also said in an article that Spin the Black Circle was the worst song of all time...out of any band. But he also says he is a Pearl Jam fan...or was a fan.

    I wonder if Simmons will be at either of the EV LA shows?

    Simmons USED to be cool. I used to enjoy his articles. Then as the Sox and Pats started winning, he turned into a douche bag. Even when his teams won, he'd whine about the refs or umps or something stupid.

    It's because he's a fan. That's what fans do. If you don't believe me just look at the front page of this very message board at any given time....
