May 10, 201511 yr TNT could really extend their NBA footprint with him. He has a pretty large cult like following. I wonder if he is going to try and take some of the writers with him. Should be a mess. Grantland will be dead within 18 months. They have no one like him to fill the content void and it will be even sooner if he takes any of the writers with him. If he takes Zac Lowe I'm done with Grantland
May 10, 201511 yr If he takes Zac Lowe I'm done with Grantland Ditto those two are the only reason I read it.
May 10, 201511 yr While Zach Lowe is great but there is a lot more to Grantland than just him and Simmons. I like almost all of their writers with Jonah Keri and Andy Greenwald standing out. Grantland is a top 3 website for me so I really hope it continues much the same or Simmons creates something to fill the void.

His recap of GOT is must read material every week.
July 23, 201511 yr Going to HBO. Bill Simmons is going to HBO I hope the first show is dedicated to how the NFL influences editorial decisions at ESPN.

July 24, 201511 yr If you want fireworks wait till he goes on Carollas podcast. When is he due on there? I don't usually listen to Corrola's podcast.
July 24, 201511 yr When is he due on there? I don't usually listen to Corrola's podcast. I listen to Carolla a lot. But he has soany and does it every weekday. So I can't listen to them all. But I think Carolla said a few weeks ago Bill would be on pretty soon after contract is over. It might be his first public appearance.
September 3, 201511 yr It seems Simmons made it back in the news today. Will Bill Simmons Launch His Own Site? | Vanity Fair
September 3, 201511 yr He needs to. And he needs a backer that can pay for the writers from Grantland to come join him if they want to.
October 1, 201510 yr His new podcast comes out tomorrow. The Bill Simmons Podcast. Sponsored by underwear lol.
