Simmons pick St Mary's over Texas

[RockyBalboa]

In the second round.
This dude must really still hate Barnes to make such a pick. Didn't we already beat them by 19 this year?

 

[p_town_horn]

Well it just gives us reason to mock his bracket in the near future, which is almost as bad as challenging his fanhood

 

[DRAG69]

I don't think Edwin knows anything about basketball anyway so I would not worry about it too much.

 

[Brother Horn]

Did he pick'em nude?

 

[Texas Wahoo]

I would probably do the same if I hadn't seen us play since we lost Durant to the draft - which I'm sure he hasn't. He's a moron when it comes to college bball.

 

[HornGrandioso]

I'm not going to get in a tizzy about this, but since you brought up the guy - what am I missing?

How does a marginally funny (at best) guy who writes 90% of his articles about Boston sports get a featured spot at ESPN and have thousands of fans across the country?

At a party I was talking about how lame Simmons was and some guy took personal offense. It was weird.

 

[Myrrhman]

His writing is Gonzo journalism at its worst. And it's pretty awful to begin with.

 

[Bob in Houston]

I think he's pretty good when I care about what he's writing, but he can't draw me in.

 

[hornfan_82]

i love simmons, but its pretty obvious he doesnt know much about any sport besides the nba.

when it comes to the nba, however, he is one of the best and most entertaining writers out there.

 

[DAGMAR]

He admits he doesnt watch college basketball. This just proves that fact

 

[LagoHorn]

St Mary's hung with us for more than a half in the first game. They have a very scary tournament team (ie they can hit alot of 3's).

 

[doylehargraves]

Simmons used to have good material, but it's gotten old and only mildly amusing.

I think that was his wife making the picks.

 

[Vol Horn 4 Life]

I love and hate this time of the year. Every hack in the world takes shots with no sight and thinks they can hit the target. Sound about like me except I don't get to publish my opinions.

 

[ousuxndallas]

How can they beat us when they'll lose to Miami in the 1st round??

[RockyBalboa]

when did he admit that?

 

[lhb98]

In his Matthew Berry podcast.

 

[71grad]

I am still amazed that so many people actually pay attention to the "talking heads" and self-appointed experts on ESPN. My question is....Why?

 

[Fievel121]

Ummm.....I guess he assumed they wouldn't get beat by 20 points by Miami

 

[ProdigalHorn]

It's a good thing Miami beat them, because between his pick and Norm's... we.. were.... DOOOOOOOOOMED!
