Bill Simmons: The Sports Guy

Just wondering if anyone else reads him, I think he is one of the most entertaining and funny sports writers of all time. For those who don't know, he is a columnist for ESPN.com and comes out with articles every week or so. He is very, very sarcastic and funny, and has a heavy bias for Boston sports (not obnoxious at all though, likable). He writes about pretty much anything he wants, from sports to pop culture to his family, but it is all in good fun and very readable.

I dug through the archives a bit and here are three links to some of my favorites. One is a mailbag where he answers readers' questions, another where he makes fun of sports announcers, and just another that is pretty good. I highly recommend him to any sports fan or someone who enjoys good, fun writing.
