F**KING ESPN INSIDER
I've bashed a lot of things that have come from the Family of Networks (ESPN) over the past few years.
But this may be the worst sin ESPN has committed yet.
Bill Simmons' archives are now part of ESPN Insider.
Look, it's bad enough that I can't find his old Boston Sports Guy columns anywhere on the internet. But now if I want to read Simmons' ESPN columns from 2001 up to last month, I have to become an ESPN Insider member?
Way to go, Bristol.
However, today's Simmons column touches on last night's Dolphins upset victory over the Patriots (don't worry, it's free). Again, the Seahawks get bashed, but it's oh so true:
The amazing thing about the Patriots' recent 27-for-28 run? That this type of game didn't happen more often. Good teams lose plenty of games because they squandered an 11-point lead with four minutes to play, or because someone completed a pseudo-Hail Mary on them, or because their star QB inexplicably crapped the bed for no reason ... these things happen all the time in football, and at least three times a month to the Seahawks. To Belichick and the Patriots? Never. They were due. Overdue, even.
F**k ESPN Insider. In the mouth. Threeve times.
