Ah, I see. You fundamentally misunderstand who Bill Simmons is.
His history is that he's a Boston sports fan who started his own website. I started following him back then. He's a "Page 2" guy, not a mainstream reporter. He isn't, and doesn't pretend to be, a Clayton or Mortensen or Peter King. He's just a regular guy -- a fan -- and an unabashed BOSTON sports fan who moved to LA.
Somehow, he's done what 99% of us can only dream of -- taking an intense love of sports and turned it into a well paid career, without having to get inside scoops or be well connected or any of that stuff.
