How Does Bill Simmons keep getting work?
>> Sunday
Simmons hops on the "Holy freakin' crap! Every team from Boston is playing wicked hahd-cowh right now" bandwagon that seems to have been repeated ad nauseum the last week or so.
Yes, Boston College is #4 in the country.
Yes, the Red Sox are in the playoffs.
Yes, the Patriots are pretty good.
Yes, the Patriots are pretty good.
Yes, the Celtics have KG.
I'll even throw in that the dirty, theiving $%@#$^!#% New England Revolution are MLS Cup favorites as the playoffs get underway next week.
Things these phenomena have in common: Each team plays in Massachusetts.
Things these phenomena don't have in common: Everything else.
Is it remarkable? Perhaps, but no more so than a scheduling quirk that has the Yankees play the White Sox on the same night the Bears play the Jets.

That title makes it sound like Simmons is some small-town freelance writer or a B-list movie actor. I believe he keeps "getting work" because he's a salried member of the ESPN payroll.
The post didn't move me one way or the other, but that graphic is tits.
