I have been an acknowledged Simmons fan for awhile, but it took me a long time to realize I just don't like Simmons the personality at all. The podcasts are ok, but anything he has done on TV is not very interesting. I haven't watched his show, I never watched the Grantland Basketball thing, etc. I think the only thing I truly like him for is his columns, and he has only written 1 in the past year and change and the ones he did write before his exile lost all the little gimmicks that made his columns interesting and different. This is almost entirely my stance on him as well
