what's really wild to me is how inconsequential The Ringer is Man, I miss Grantland so much and The Ringer is just some weak imitation at this point. The articles written by R. Jazayerli on the Cubs for Grantland are some of my favorite articles of all-time. He continued writing for The Ringer, but I haven't seen an article from him in a long time. Simmons has really fallen off as well. His mailbag used to be somewhat funny and enjoyable. I have no idea what happened to him... Whatever it was it happened a decade ago. He was unique and fun in the late 90's early 00s. But he was neither by the time the Red Sox and Patriots were winning every other year.
