Bill Simmons writes another fine column for the Boston Globe.

What's that? He writes for ESPN, a national sports media outlet? My mistake.

But truth be told, I'll be damned if he isn't making sense and hitting on my guilt nerve. I guess he's not dropping anything revolutionary on us, but I just really like the way he put it in this paragraph:

Now we're on six years of football euphoria. And I get the part where the outside world is ready for another team, because that's the way our society works now: We embrace something new, digest it, beat it into the ground and move on to something else. One minute, "Borat" is the greatest comedy of all-time; the next minute, it's overrated. One minute, everyone loves "Lost"; the next minute, we're wondering if it jumped the shark. One minute, everyone loves The Killers; the next minute, they're self-important sellouts. It's the Everything Sucks Era. We spend an inordinate amount of time bitching about everyone else. Nobody's good, nobody's worthwhile and everybody needs to go away. That's the prevailing theme.

Sure, it's preachy and a little over-the-top. And then he gets a little carried way (If you can't appreciate THIS team, even as an impartial observer, what does that say about the future of sports?), but his point is well-taken. It almost makes me feel guilty about writing anything on this blog.

Well, that's it, boys. I'm hanging it up. I'm gonna have to quit. Alright, I don't quit. But I am thinking like Bill Simmons, so maybe I'm going a little soft.
