    His picks didn't do too well, either.

    I'm glad DD linked to his blog, since it had several of his older pieces on there, when he still was fresh and before he lost his fastball. The Will McDoogle piece was excellent.

    . . . especially any picks NOT made against a consensus line.

    How fey.

    Must say, the use of the word "jerk(s)" in a Simmons headline, suits.

    Is he angling to get fired with that blog?

    I find his columns to be a bit boring now. I will however, give him this, he brings a very interesting prospective to the NBA. His knowledge of expiring contracts and bad GM moves is uncanny.

    What do you figure his salary is? $150,000? $200,000?

    If he wanted to run his own site, he probably could find 100,000 Boston sports fans to put up $4.99 per month. Easily.

    The guy's schtick, if you want to call it that, still works for a portion of the population.
