It’s gone from “Lakers or Bust” to not minding Philadelphia. I’m sure any young hotshot wants to live in LA over Philly. Hell, half of the old no-shots wanna live there too. But I’ll happily take Simmons having “no problem” playing here, sneaker money be damned.
When he's not writing about sports here or ranting about them on Twitter, Jim is probably watching X-Files on Netflix or drinking a beer somewhere. Jim has nothing against hockey, it's just not his style. He once met Duce Staley at a Sixers game.
