I think it's different. Guys like Bayless and Smith try to invent controversy, I never get that sense with Simmons. For example, I thought him calling the Bayless/ Sherman incident embarrassing for everyone involved including ESPN was really bold. Maybe I choose to see it a different way, but Simmons' commentary seems… Read more

His point is that it would be impossible for a clean rider to win because most of the field is doping. There's a reason that pretty much every TDF winner from Lance on has been caught or suspected of doping. Read more

I don't think I agree with this. You can clearly hear an emotion in his voice that is usually absent from other commentators, he was clearly pissed about the trade. This seemed like a real honest reaction, starting with "that Gerald Wallace contract is terrible." Read more

I love that Simmons doesn't care about controversy. Doesn't back down from Rivers, tries to talk about the Decision and gets mysteriously cut off when the Heat win the title, always willing to brutally honest about anything (including ESPN) on Twitter and on his podcast. Read more

I use it quite a bit. I've only had Windows 8 for a couple of months, and I actually really like the start screen. Once I realized that it was basically a hybrid of the start menu and desktop items, I really fell in love with it, and now I prefer it to the traditional start menu. Read more

But let's be clear here - does this guy even ever SAY he's a diehard Heat fan? Basically, he lived in Ford Lauderdale, and since his gf could tolerate basketball, they watched a lot of games. He was bummed that the ending got spoiled for him, but nowhere is he trying to claim that he's a superfan. Rather, he's… Read more

This is hilarious that you are bashing this guy. He's not calling HIMSELF a 'true fan' or whatever bullshit standard you're trying to hold him to. He's describing the people in Miami around him, the people that generally get stereotyped as bandwagon, terrible fans. Read more

I'm a Heat fan, but my respect and appreciation for Duncan went to another level in this series. The dude is just flat-out amazing, works his ass off, and just flat-out wrecked the Heat down low. I would have been bummed if the Heat had lost, but I would have tipped my hat to the Spurs if they'd pulled it off, no… Read more

That is the most comprehensive and well-spoken defense against these straw-man arguments that I have ever heard. Normally the pro-video game side in these news reports is bumbling and completely unconvincing, but Stossel crushed it. Read more

Looking at numbers, realizing that your business strategy is going to lose money, and then changing that strategy IS called listening to your customers. Read more

We definitely agree there. Cheers Read more

Have you ever been aggressively hit on by a gay guy? It's happened to me a couple of times living in western Manhattan, and it's pretty uncomfortable. Not talking about harmless looks or flirting, but full-on creeping. I imagine it's a similar feeling to a woman when a man creepily and aggressively hits on them. Read more

As much as I could never make it through an entire WNBA game, I really like their athletes. Griner just casually drops that she's a lesbian, Smith mentions she's retiring on Twitter. Just completely understated, that's kind of cool Read more

Aw man, I was actually with Florio in this little spat until he threw out page views. NOTHING makes you look like a dick more than using how many people read your site as an argument for anything. Read more

Frankly, you have no idea if that is true or not. They could have been talking to game developers (you know, the guys making games with the expectation that there would be game registration and cloud connection), and yes, I'm sure they crunched numbers to see how their bottom line would be affected by the switch. But… Read more

This comment deserves its own article, very well said. Read more

I'm kind of amazed by comments like this. Microsoft chose to listen to their customers and changed unpopular policy, and yet they're still anti-consumer? People just want to keep hating, regardless of justification Read more

Ugh, thank you internet lynch mob for killing some seriously cool features. Read more

Huh, that felt really underwhelming and kind of soulless. I'm not interested in the slightest, how disappointing. Read more
