Around the intranets, there has lately been a lot of criticism of some of the writers of Page 2 on espn.com. This is with good reason, many of them are unbearable. I don't feel like it is something that continues to need to be harped on, though. In the interest of everyone moving on to bigger and better things, I provide these pocket sized criticisms, in hopes that they can be the final word, or at least useful in a pinch.
Bill Simmons is a Michael J. Fox obsessed, petulant, New England-centric old man with a gambling problem. He refuses to shut up about his friends or their terrible nicknames.
Scoop Jackson is an educated African American writer who takes on the persona of an ign'nant hustler when he vomits out his occasional column. He does it badly, Paul Barman sounds more street.
Dan Shanoff is a middle aged virgin with an obsessive hard-on for underdogs. Any underdog, anytime. Just give him upsets, dammit. Please.
You are now free to return to your regularly scheduled whatever the hell else you were doing.
