Obviously there are a lot of things that are wrong in the world. But some things are alright too. One such thing is Bill Simmons, a.k.a. The Sports Guy on ESPN.com. He may just be the most talented columnist writing on the web today, using his eclectic mix of encyclopedic sports knowledge, insider savvy, humorous anecdotes and twisted pop culture references to make every article a must-read.
A great example is this recent article about the All-Star break in the American League- he's completely riffing the whole way, writing the way he wants to, and this article is 10 times more interesting than any other just because of that. I enjoy his stuff so much that I'll even read his NBA articles- and seeing how much I've followed the NBA in recent years, that's high praise. Non-sports fans may not see what the big deal is about, but for those "in-the-know", he's a genius.
(Exception: When Simmons, a die-hard Boston fan, won't shut up about the Pats or the Red Sox. Provided you can move past that, you'll have a great time.)
