Seriously I liked Scoop when he was confinded to Slam magazine but I can't take him seriously as a writer. If you ever read many of his ESPN pieces you would understand why.
Actually I do like his articles because they provide a different insight into the players and the game.
Also, it's ironic that you criticize his mastery of English while making the following usage errors:
1. "astute department" - you need a noun before department, not an adjective; try "astuteness department"
2. need a comma after "Seriously"
3. "confinded" is not a word
No offense, but I question your ability to discern "mastery of the English language" when you demonstrate a poor grasp of it yourself.

Bill Simmons can be too much of a homer at times, but if you can handle that, the rest is usually quite funny. I don't know why people take him so seriously and then criticize him for it. He writes to entertain, not to inform.
Scoop Jackson is a racist? Where's your proof?
Also, we Laker fans on realgm don't take Bill Simmons that seriously; there's maybe one thread about him every few months. However, it doesn't take a genius to understand why Laker fans would be annoyed at this self-proclaimed Laker hater's petty slights against Kobe and the Lakers.
