Dave and I were talking about "More Cowbell" and then in typical fashion we switched gears and talked about Bill Simmons.
Bill Simmons is not only my favorite sports writer, he is one of my personal heroes. Apparently when Dave's friend Rob was in Vegas he ran across Bill in a casino... "when Rob went to Las Vegas he said he saw Bill at the tables in sweat pants ...drunk."
Seriously, GLORIOUS. That is hardcore. And that is part of why I (Heart) Bill Simmons.
I also (heart) Bill Simmons because he is a Boston Red Sox fan, and he has been FOREVER, and thus he knows of the seldom-spoken kinship with other tortured fans... (i.e.- Cubs fans like myself and millions of others.) But today I happened across a Bill Simmons article which perfectly paralleled this kinship with one of my favorite movies, "The Shawshank Redemption" ... Words cannot express my joy.
See the article yourself.
I (heart) you Bill Simmons!
