I didn't even know that Hardee's was still a thing, so I guess their creepy ad is a success. I bet picking through the letters to the editor is the best part of being the editor.

howe_sam posted:There is zero chance Goodell wants to be deposed about this. No way the NFL would sue. The NFL would get laughed out of court if they tried to sue. Goodell is a public figure. To get a libel/slander judgment he would have to prove not only that what Simmons said wasn't true but that Simmons believed that it wasn't true and said it anyway in an effort to maliciously damage Goodell. The law, at least in the US, is set up such that you can pretty much say whatever the gently caress you want to about famous people and there is very little anyone can do about it. Legally speaking, anyway. You can obviously use your massive financial clout to bully your media-bootlicker into suspending the guy who said it.

ElwoodCuse posted:Bill Simmons is the loving worst and it doesn't even involve the Patriots edition: he's whining on Twitter about the Kings missing the playoffs despite seeing his teams win three Stanley Cups since that laughable column where he gave up on hockey forever because the Bruins choked away a series to Montreal a while back. But how will he explain it to his kids???!!!

Lockback posted:Simmons is filled with impotent rage about deflate gate. It's sorta funny in a sad kind of way. Ballghazi is wonderful. Boston sports fans are sad and angry, which is always a good thing. And Roger Goodell looks like the idiotic stooge that he is, which is always a good thing. No matter who loses, the forces of right and good win.

I have no idea what a broader war on GIFs of home runs and football catches is supposed to accomplish on a practical level. That poo poo has value, you can't just give it away, for free! The League has to monetize every potential revenue stream to maximize revenue for ownership or we could see the end of the NFL as we know it! You don't want to see the end of the NFL as we know it, do you? DO YOU?!

At this point both sides are probably leaking smut like crazy. I mean, even if Simmons orchestrated the move to do max damage to ESPN, they did they same trying to bury Simmons and kill his reputation after they fired him.

What I was trying to say was that I hope he wasn't struggling with some sort of mental illness like depression for quite a long time, because something like that can make your life poo poo. I'm only hoping it was as quick and painless as it possibly could have been for him. He was overweight and in his 60s. I would say it's a very safe bet he died of a heart attack or stroke.
