Aside from the fact Bill Simmons sounds and looks like a mixture between Pee Wee Herman and Jack McBrayer, he’s not very funny. If you are finding yourself laughing at his material, it’s probably once in a blue moon and/or your sense of humor is too kind.
It’s no secret that Bill Simmons is a huge Masshole and hates Detroit, so I wasn’t too surprised about his feelings toward Joe Dumars as a GM and his Pistons preview for the 2009-2010 season :
I was rooting for Detroit to bring Charlie Villanueva and Ben Gordon off the bench this season, just so I could make the “any time you can pay $94 million and lock up your cap space for two bench guys, you gotta do it” joke. But the Pistons foiled me by starting Villanueva. Still, they dumped Chauncey Billups and effectively tanked last season for cap flexibility; now that flexibility is gone, only they look like a mortal lock for the lottery. (You realize their “big men” are The Artist Formely Known As Ben Wallace, Kwame Brown, Villanueva and Chris Wilcox, right?) And this was a good plan … how? Some day you’ll have to explain this whole “Joe Dumars is a good GM” thing to me.
Simmons then went on to defend Allen Iverson for last season and predicted that the Pistons would somehow lose eight less games this year, finishing 31-51.
There’s not much to say to that, but DERP.
