    People who are on TV make a ton of money. It's really not jaw-dropping at all when you think about, say, Matt Lauer making $20 million a year.

    His multimedia work means I will see much less of his writing. I'm all for it.

    Bill Simmons is the Grantland Rice of this century.

    This is why you often disappear for long stretches. Because you say some really stupid shit and the mods have to deal with the fallout.

    Then again, some -- Scocca -- see Rice as a ponderous, cornball huckster.

    At least he doesn't EMPHASIZE parts of speech with CAPITAL LETTERS to signpost that he's really MAD and isn't going to TAKE IT ANYMORE, gosh darnit!

    Like the pointless hacklet Magary.

    I appreciate that Fart offers equal opportunity smack downs.

    Considering it's Simmons, it's the wrong Walsh.
