I was called out by Matt in the comments section yesterday. You can go search for it if you want...it's your call. Regardless, he's right, I've slacked off for too long.
Anyhow, this story has been brewing for some time: Deadspin editor Will Leitch announced earlier this month that he was leaving his job to take a job at New York Magazine. Since Will's in his final days with the website he made famous, there has been a "blogebrity roast" taking place over at Deadspin. Writers who have had some minor affiliation to the site are devoting entries to Will's honor. Among the more surprising writers have been ESPN's own Bill Simmons (or the Sports Guy for those without any game). Now, if you are not familiar with Deadspin, the site has been famous for "humanizing" both athletes and media personalities (mainly those from ESPN).
To say ESPN doesn't appreciate what Deadspin has done to the likes of Chris Berman is an understatement. So it would come as a surprise that Simmons is making an appearance on Deadspin (of course, with the "drama" that appears to be ongoing between Simmons and ESPN, maybe it's not a surprise). Anyhow, as usual, Simmons' has another great read. Be sure to check it out here.

On another Bill Simmons related note, his NBA Draft Diary is up at the dot com.
