Simmons is annoying. Let me know when he doesn't write an entire article about a Boston team. He wrote a column on the freaking Bruins a few weeks ago for christ's sake.

At the risk of sounding illiterate, what is "Ubuntu" ?

the worst was a season or two ago when the Celts sucked, and he would constantly go on about them, as if anyone cared.

As funny as it might be I can not stomach a Bill Simmons Boston rant. I am so freaking sick of Boston sports and Boston sports fans and especially Red Sox fans from outside of New England.

It's some gay saying that doc found in uganda or some other african country meaning unity or closeness or some other crap that made the red sox nation orgasm in unison and cop more pink hats.

I thought that was very funny, too. Actually, at the end of reading it I had this thought... "How is it that Bill Simmons gets away with writing all the time about his home team for a national sports website?" But then it occurred to me that, were he always to make an effort to give equal attention to other squads, we'd really never get this tortured, life-long fan perspective that makes some of his columns (for those of us who enjoy them) so fun to read.

Fair enough. I'm pretty tired of Boston, too. But this article is just pointing out all the flaws and empty hype that goes into the Celtics, and if you're bitter and cynical at this point, you might enjoy that.

I think some people take Bill too seriously, as for the Boston stuff he's only insufferable when they're winning, when they're losing it's comedy gold (his column describing how much pain he was in after 18-1, had me rolling.)

[Boognish]

yeah, while Simmons is a yet another die-hard Boston fan, he can take a step back and laugh at it all, unlike the rest of those a-holes. And we can laugh along with him at Boston. Perfect

Bill Simmons is the greatest sports writer ever.

I knew that Ubuntu was an african word but I never knew what it meant. All I knew was that it is a popular Linux operating system.

Ubuntu is a famous Linux distro.

I advise everyone to try it. It is really easy for noobs.

[Joyeuse]

Ubuntu means something like people working together for a common goal.

That article was great and spot on!

I love KG, so I watched the celtics first 30-40 games, haven't seen them much since, then the playoffs started and I didn't recognize the team. They have some new faces, playing different etc.... It was weird.

I think Doc read the article too.

[6_Rings]

first time i actually fully read a Simmons' article.
