He's paid to do what AM radio talk show guys do at drive time: say outrageous and controversial shit so people will phone in and disagree. That doesn't do it for me; I want to see and read about sports, not hear some paid jackass' personal opinion.

But for all his clowning -- and yeah, there's a bunch of it -- he's not some moralizing blowhard who clearly thinks it's his job to tell you exactly how you should feel. In other words, he's not Plaschke.<br /><br />When he feels like it, Simers is as good as there is -- just look at the Killebrew/Bynum column. It's also true that when he feels like it he's as annoying as there is -- just look anywhere. But he's also fearless; anybody else think Plaschke would walk up to Kemp last year and ask him, point-blank, why he was such a pouty-ass jerk?<br /><br />And in case anybody's wondering, no, I'm not Simers or anyone who's even met him.Numfarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03370692338096916036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36360371.post-20968423046708705472011-05-17T16:10:50.024-07:002011-05-17T16:10:50.024-07:00It's really quite charitable to refer to that ...It's really quite charitable to refer to that tripe as a "column."Kyle Bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02074411479856389109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36360371.post-70493708601705183002011-05-17T16:07:44.190-07:002011-05-17T16:07:44.190-07:00Yes, the one where the Times paid full price and h...Yes, the one where the Times paid full price and he got to make fun of a) McCourt and b) a fat guy from Wisconsin.
