Whew. If Bill Simmons and ESPN were having sex, I would have lots of questions. Perhaps questions I don't want answered, but questions nonetheless. Non-metaphorically speaking though, it would appear, based on the Sports Guy's chat today, that he and ESPN have begun the makeup process and that his little pot-shot-taking foray back into the personal blog world may have given the WWL reason to play nice. Or as Simmons said, let him back in bed.
Stephen (Nashville, TN): So you do a chat about the Finals, but you refuse to answer any question too probing because it "steps on the preview column." Is this whole thing just a show so we know you and ESPN are still cool?Alright, an actual reason to read the chat if you're not a Bostonian or fan of the Real World (full disclosure: I hate the RW, but that dude breaking down in an alcoholic rage? Hysterical.)
SportsNation Bill Simmons: (12:25 PM ET ) I am no longer sleeping on the living room coach. Altrhough [sic] we're still not having sex.
No, seriously. It's nice to see the Sports Guy off the couch, although I find the phrasing of that particularly odd. Isn't Simmons the one who got angry and took of on his own? Because that is the way I interpreted it; not that ESPN told him to write less because they were enforcing his contract, but that he was sick of being censored.
