Sports Guy on Paul Pierce

Bill Simmons is starting to piss me off. Yeah it is nice that Paul Pierce is getting his recognition but with Simmons it always comes with some "yeah buts".

Yes Paul Pierce is playing the best basketball of his career and the Celtics are a very fun team to watch right now "yeah but" lets not give any credit for this to the coach. Remember that Simmons was the guy who called for Doc Rivers to be fired a few weeks back. Now that the Celtics are the hot team - does Rivers get any credit at all? Not from the "Sports Guy" because as Captain Quint would say, "It proves that you wealthy college boys don't have the education enough to admit when you're wrong."

Everyone agrees that Pierce is playing the best basketball of his career but leave it to Simmons to add the "yeah but let me tell you why." Simmons goes on to expound that Pierce is finally come to grips with being stabbed and almost killed in 2000. I would give a good amount of some of my hard earned cash if Simmons would have the "intestinal fortitude" to get a press pass, go into the Celtics locker room and ask Pierce if he's having his best year because he's finally come to grips with being stabbed. Pierce looking at Simmons with a "are you for real? What kind of fruit-loop, jackass question was that?" expression would be priceless.

Of course Simmons would never do that. He can just sit thousands of miles away and psychoanalize Pierce and at the same time just throw in that he thinks Jose Canseco is a "bottom-feeder." Well I got news for you Billy-boy - if you want to see a real bottom feeder - just look in the mirror.
