Bill Simmons is like the annoying sports fan at your local bar and the overreacting fans on your favorite team's message forum. Outside of Boston sports teams, he knows very little about the topics he discusses but tries to pretend that he's a sports know-it-all. Instead of providing a true fan's perspective, his site and writings are more of a personal forum for him to bash the sports individuals or teams that he doesn't like. Every now and then, he cracks a great analogy. But as everyone knows, sifting through a lot of waste to find a nugget of gold just isn't worth it. If you really want to hear annoying rantings of an uneducated sports fan, why would you waste your time reading this book when you can at least pretend to be social and talk to the fans at your local bar (or message forum)?
