More on Bill Simmons
Description from Wikipedia:
William J. "Bill" Simmons (born September 1969) is a columnist and podcaster for Page2 on ESPN.com and ESPN The Magazine. He is known by the nickname "The Sports Guy" (formerly "The Boston Sports Guy").
His ESPN.com column is written from the viewpoint of a passionate Boston sports fan, and often uses extended analogies and references to pop culture in his columns.
He moved to Los Angeles on November 16, 2002 to work as a writer for the Jimmy Kimmel Show. He has since left the show to work full-time for ESPN. He has signed a contract to remain with ESPN until 2010.
Simmons currently hosts his own podcast on ESPN.com, ESPN Xtra, and iTunes titled "The B.S. Report." From when he began his podcast on May 8, 2007, until June 14 of that year, it was called "Eye of the Sports Guy." He has also filmed segments for the television series E:60.
He set the record for the longest chat on ESPN's Sportsnation on November 28, 2007, breaking Rob Neyer's previous record. He did the chat to support ESPN's fund raising efforts for the Jimmy V Foundation for cancer. Neyer has since re-broken the record on March 31, 2008 on the opening day of the baseball season. Matthew Berry currently holds the record of 13 hours and 12 minutes.
He also "officially" announced his candidacy for the position of Milwaukee Bucks general manager, for which he was not hired. In a similar move he has recently announced his candidacy for the Minnesota Timberwolves general manager position.
