SG refutes rumors
One other thing: Some readers are convinced that this site will fall under the ESPN Insider umbrella at some point. That's simply not happening. You will NEVER have to pay for a new column. If I wanted to charge people for columns, it would have happened three summers ago. The whole concept makes me uncomfortable. Let's say I have a bad week, and people are reading me and thinking, "Wait a second, I'm paying for this?" I can't imagine anything worse. Short of seeing another giant caricture of myself where I look like Damien Omen.

Either he's got some leverage that Rob Neyer didn't, or he's got bigger balls than Neyer.

Probably both. Simmons is probably the most widely-read columnist on espn.com by far, and that gives him a ton of leverage. He could very easily take his gig elsewhere or go solo if he wanted to. |
