Simmons NBA Column, Gil mention

Simmons finally gives Gilbert some love but in true chowderhead fashion, he has to conclude with a parting cheap shot. I wish on his next trip to Fenway, Simmons would get pizza thrown at him.

10. Gilbert Arenas
His breakout season as a superstar included a nickname ("Agent Zero"), a catch phrase ("Hibachi!"), an overall philosophy ("Gilbertology"), a consistent hook (an inordinate amount of big shots), a Hall of Fame YouTube clip (the one where he beats DeShawn Stevenson in a shooting contest with one hand), and even a groundbreaking creation (his entertaining blog on NBA.com that included an enlightening opus by about how he felt misunderstood by the media). Maybe those things didn't make him the MVP, but they definitely made him the most memorable star of the season. We need more Gilberts in sports. Whether he'd be fun to play basketball with ... that's another story.

Wow

Did he really give the MVP award to the fans?

Lame.

You know you'll get devoured by Cheaney, Wallace, and Juwan Howard.

JUMP da Shark?

I would say Simmons has jumped the shark but that happened more than a year or 2 ago. It reminded me of the Time Magazine's Person of the 2006 was a mirror, Yes YOU WON! Jon Stewart puns it relentlessly.

What? They don't have TV in the D-League? Don't watch me, watch TV.

I actually like Simmons

But this Sportszilla post kind of summs up how I feel about him.

I just feel like he's holding back, and giving the MVP to the fans was kinda lame and unfunny.

In related news...

Simmons linked to a certain linked to a certain Bullets video in his blog today. I won't tell you which one, but I'll give you a hint: A line from the vid is prominently featured in someone's signature. However if you read the blog straight from the RSS feed, the link is incorrect and takes you to the Indian version of Thriller. Either way, they're both highly entertaining.

No siento mi cara.
