Bill Simmons Calls ESPN Host ‘Garbage’

Tempting a fourth suspension.

Bill Simmons is fed up with ESPN. Fresh off a three-week suspension for calling the head of the NFL a liar, the Sports Guy ripped a fellow ESPN host. Mike Golic of the Mike & Mike radio show called a Simmons quote comparing LeBron James to Albert Pujols “one of the most ridiculous statements I’ve heard four games into a season in my life in any sport. That’s what I’ll say about Bill Simmons. So, you know, he grabbed a headline, which is something I know he loves.” Simmons called Golic “garbage” on Twitter and then hit ESPN Radio for pulling an “interview out of context from another ESPN Radio show” and then playing the “moral authority card.” Simmons’s contract is up at the end of this year.
