Bill Simmons calls us the, "Improbable Sleepers."
Dude knows his NBA better than ANYONE, but he knows JACK about football. JUST TWO WEEKS ago he claimed KC would never find its way out of the 'Art Shell Division' (what he uses at the worst 5 teams in football), he ranked us the WORST team in his week 1 picks and we've been no higher than #26 all year long AND NOW SUDDENLY we're #10.

Beating a couple of crappy teams hasn't proven a thing...this disturbs me.

Dude has been on Herm EVERY week in his picks and suddenly he moves us up 16 spots ONE week after he claimed we 'stunk' and we'd never be out of the 'Art Shell Division'....
I'm so sick of Boston that it is making me resent Bill Simmons and the guy is probably the best sports writer on the planet. |

He had us at something like 15th-16th last week, if I remember right. He said we were due for a Herm-clock management loss, but also said Herm might have pulled one of the greatest con jobs of all time making us all think the coaching staff and team were inept on Hard Knocks. Something to that effect.

Sounds to me like this guy doesn't pay attention and mails his columns in until something wakes him up.

Reading Bill Simmons' writing is like being beaten to death by the Cobra Kai after getting to second base with Molly Ringwald.

However the funny thing is, he was basically ready to give up on the Celtics as a fan after they lost the draft lottery. |

Sounds like another in a long line of sportswriters worth ignoring.
