Bill Simmons needs to go down
March 27th, 2008 at 1:06 pm
/ confused by the “US Dollar” relevance
March 27th, 2008 at 1:07 pm
I knew Irish wouldn’t like the Simmons/D Howard vote thus far
March 27th, 2008 at 1:09 pm
How can Simmons beat anything other than an 80’s pop reference into the ground?
March 27th, 2008 at 1:10 pm
Irish — I again voted for Dwight Howard.
March 27th, 2008 at 1:12 pm
I will vote again for DH12 when I get to my home computer.
/loophole.
March 27th, 2008 at 1:14 pm
Who voted for Pat Summit? You must identify yourself.
March 27th, 2008 at 1:15 pm
Irish has plenty of friends, but plenty of enemies here. Perhaps the enemies will help conquer Dwight Howard in today’s vote? or will his SuperFriends bring home the bacon and knock out Bill Simmons?
Stay tuned for tomorrow’s episode of The Blog and the Restless.
March 27th, 2008 at 1:20 pm
why does it have to deal with me Gonzo? Yeah im a fan of Dwight howard whats your point about the enemies and shit
who gives a fuck about that
March 27th, 2008 at 1:22 pm
Exactly who would choose the diminishing dollar over anything? Vote for SVP or I’m sending you to your room. And I agree - all 27 (thus far) Pat Summitt voters must identifying themselves. Pussies. I don’t even watch the wire and I knew which way to go with that.
March 27th, 2008 at 1:23 pm
Irish- didnt you leave this site earlier this year because of a percieved bias against the Magic?
March 27th, 2008 at 1:23 pm
Because you are the only one that talks about him. which is a shame, because he is a terrific player. also, it’s tongue in cheek.
March 27th, 2008 at 1:24 pm
Yeah, I don’t really give a shit about Dwight Howard, but I’m pretty sure I’d vote for gonorrhea ahead of Bill Simmons.
March 27th, 2008 at 1:24 pm
All people who aren’t voting for Van Pelt, Wire, and Howard need to identify themselves for public humiliation. I’ll allow for personal taste in the hot chick vote, but other than that, there should be no contest.
March 27th, 2008 at 1:24 pm
Yeah…next time don’t break the Prozac in half.
March 27th, 2008 at 1:25 pm
I don’t see any upsets in this group.
March 27th, 2008 at 1:27 pm
Van Pelt is the shiznit.
March 27th, 2008 at 1:27 pm
I voted for Van Pelt, the Wire and Howard. The US Dollar is depressing, anything on TV is better than college basketball, and Bill Simmons has jumped the shark.
March 27th, 2008 at 1:27 pm
Simmons has a huge reader base and gets paid handsomely to watch and write about sports and 90210 re-runs. I’m sure he’ll be crushed if he loses this vote.
March 27th, 2008 at 1:29 pm
***make that anything on TV is better than WOMEN’S basketball
March 27th, 2008 at 1:31 pm
wait, why does the 1 play the 8 and the 11 and 14 play?
March 27th, 2008 at 1:31 pm
Simmons is ok at times but jeez this is Dwight freaking Howard.
March 27th, 2008 at 1:31 pm
Dwight Howard is losing to Bill Fucking Simmons?
I just vomited in my own mouth.
March 27th, 2008 at 1:31 pm
I got The Wire, Dwight Howard, and Van Pelt. My prediction: the final two should be The Wire vs. God. I’ve gotta admit, I hate voting against God, but The Wire is the tits.
March 27th, 2008 at 1:33 pm
I like how people actually seem angry about some of these polls
March 27th, 2008 at 1:36 pm
Using Irish’s logic from the point guard debate… Simmons has been doing good work for longer than Howard… so Simmons it is!!
March 27th, 2008 at 1:36 pm
Yeah, that is amusing. Though…a part of me died when Lyla lost to Tyra.
March 27th, 2008 at 1:36 pm
These polls are all that matter.
The Wire/Simmmons ‘08
March 27th, 2008 at 1:36 pm
Is that the only pic we can find of Ovies mail order girl? Cmon guys, I know we are better than that.
March 27th, 2008 at 1:37 pm
@walfredo- of course your going to vote for a guy that sucks off your whole city
March 27th, 2008 at 1:38 pm
CRM - Simmons and The Wire may meet in the Elite Eight, if they get that far. Oh, and RIP Brandon.
March 27th, 2008 at 1:39 pm
Cool, these are second round matchups, 8 beat 9 in the first round so they play 1.
11 beat 6 and 14 beat 3 so they play each other.
March 27th, 2008 at 1:39 pm
I gotta admit, God’s been around longer but his work has tapered off these past 2000 years. His “miracles” have been weak. I mean for Christ’s sake, I can appear in a loaf of bread or make a statue cry, and you don’t see that many people worshiping me (right now my congregation is only about 40-50 thousand worldwide). F God. Tiger creates more miracles than God does.
March 27th, 2008 at 1:42 pm
Irish - Yeah but not cuz he’s from Boston, more because I want to see your rant when Howard loses…
March 27th, 2008 at 1:42 pm
SVP is making a run…
March 27th, 2008 at 1:43 pm
+1 Hef.
March 27th, 2008 at 1:46 pm
@walfredo- Bill simmons will jump right back on the Yankee cock this year when they win the title. ive never seen more of a fair weather fan in my life than Bill simmons.
March 27th, 2008 at 1:51 pm
Are we talking about the same Bill Simmons? He is very staunch in his support of Boston sports, that’s what turns most people off.
March 27th, 2008 at 1:53 pm
i also believe Bill simmons is a racist because of his ” REggie Cleveland” all star bullshit
March 27th, 2008 at 1:55 pm
There goes irish, door-to-door stumping for Howard.
March 27th, 2008 at 1:56 pm
irish - You are joking, right?
March 27th, 2008 at 1:57 pm
irish, instead of ripping Bill Simmons, you should try and pimp up DH. The guy is a freak, it shouldn’t be that hard.
March 27th, 2008 at 1:57 pm
He’s not racist because of that - he’s racist because he’s a white guy from Boston.
March 27th, 2008 at 1:58 pm
@irishmafia - You mean racist against white people right? Because if there’s any minority who more oppressed, it’s the White American Male.
March 27th, 2008 at 1:58 pm
im Keith Hernandez damnit, not him
March 27th, 2008 at 2:00 pm
My wife fell for the whole Reggie Cleveland all star game too. I read the names off the list: Reggie Cleveland, Delonte West, etc, people she’s never heard of and I asked her what these people had in common. Her response, “Uh, they’re all black?” It’s a funny list. It’s probably the only funny thing that Simmons has done in the last three years.
March 27th, 2008 at 2:03 pm
White males are minorities in the U.S.? Since when?
March 27th, 2008 at 2:03 pm
@Mike: That should probably have been read as sarcasm.
March 27th, 2008 at 2:06 pm
damn its close
March 27th, 2008 at 2:07 pm
i cant think of any more nonsense/stupid shit to say about Simmons
any help
March 27th, 2008 at 2:08 pm
It’s going till 8 tomorrow, irish. Maybe the international voters will have more sense.
March 27th, 2008 at 2:08 pm
i ll be getting on the phone here shortly Hef if he doesnt pull through
cold calling for Dwight
March 27th, 2008 at 2:14 pm
fucking tied up baby
March 27th, 2008 at 2:16 pm
@Hef: Nope. I voted for Simmons. Primarily because watching the irishmafia get riled up is wonderful entertainment on a dreary Thursday afternoon. Please continue. Work blows.
March 27th, 2008 at 2:17 pm
@Hef, isn’t Delonte West black?
March 27th, 2008 at 2:18 pm
@irish- you imposter
March 27th, 2008 at 2:21 pm
wow i am confused about the dual irish’s
March 27th, 2008 at 2:25 pm
Imposter! How so? Can’t rile up the black and tans? That’s how I roll.
March 27th, 2008 at 2:29 pm
Dwight Howard for MVP…thats how i roll
March 27th, 2008 at 2:43 pm
I think TBL needs to start breaking out tie breakers
March 27th, 2008 at 2:50 pm
Where are all the Hot Clicks folks? Only vote for their own I guess.
March 27th, 2008 at 3:05 pm
i dare someone to admit they voted for Bill Simmons on here
March 27th, 2008 at 3:27 pm
i just helped dwight tie it up again
March 27th, 2008 at 3:33 pm
I voted for bill simmons
March 27th, 2008 at 3:34 pm
liar
March 27th, 2008 at 3:34 pm
I understand the humor value of voting for Simmons, but for the safety of everyone in central Florida, Howard should probably advance.
March 27th, 2008 at 3:39 pm
how long has that site meter link been in the bottom left hand corner?
March 27th, 2008 at 3:51 pm
I voted for Simmons, I dont like people who father kids out of wedlock.
/Pats Fan
March 27th, 2008 at 4:07 pm
another poser just voted for Bill Simmons
March 27th, 2008 at 4:10 pm
it wont be hard to determine who voted for Bill Simmons among the daily TBl crowd
just look for all the pussies who like Boston teams
/ Yankee fan
March 27th, 2008 at 4:14 pm
I’m starting to think people are voting for simmons just to piss you off irish
March 27th, 2008 at 4:44 pm
Simmons is a Boston-centered douche - which would be ok if Boston sucked in any sport other than hockey. But since the Red Sox, Patriots, and Celtics are all very good teams, his knob-slobbing of all things Beantown is unbearable.
March 27th, 2008 at 4:46 pm
…and yet you keep reading him.
March 27th, 2008 at 4:53 pm
12 vote lead as i leave work
i got faith in you MR TBL
dont let me down
March 27th, 2008 at 5:24 pm
Actually no - stopped reading his columns around mid-football season as each column seemed to be written while he jerked off to his photo of Randy Moss and Tom Brady. And I’ll stuck with it that long because I used to be a loyal fan - but he just became too unbearable.
March 27th, 2008 at 5:41 pm
320-320 Irish’s errr DHoward’s lead has evaporated
March 27th, 2008 at 5:51 pm
Simmons with a 2 vote lead.
March 27th, 2008 at 5:56 pm
Wow, people must be logging on to more than 1 computer, because when I voted, I voted for all 4 polls, looks like many are just voting for the Simmons/Howard poll
March 27th, 2008 at 10:41 pm
There are two super close ones here
March 28th, 2008 at 12:58 am
when do these go final?
March 28th, 2008 at 8:40 am
absolute bullshit that people are picking Bill Simmons over Dwight Howard
March 28th, 2008 at 2:15 pm
Agreed. I would pick Mary Kate Olsen’s bile over Bill Simmons.
March 29th, 2008 at 1:02 am
I missed out on the vote, but think it’s really funny
