For those of your who may be younger and wonder what media used to be like in the early Internet dayd, well, let me give you the best snapshot possible. Bill Simmons' 03 on-the-scene reporting of the draft. https://grantland.com/features/nba-draft-diary-2003-bill-simmons/
BILL SIMMONS SAID THIS IN A NATIONAL COLUMN AND WAS STILL EMPLOYED. Bron is a 10000x better person than I am. S/o to some extra misogyny at the end.
Here; Bill Simmons - at the culmination of a person's lifework - daydreams whistfully about them commiting a sex crime.
Last one. These are just a guy at the peak of his writing powers. Some classic Simmons bits: Other people's names! Women's sports! Genitals! Terrorism!
