    How is that support? He's making fun of us and Oden's value in the league.

    Maybe he is just naive enough to believe Oden still has that much value in a trade?

    Why is that people get so godamned sensitive about Bill Simmons in "Blazerland?" He writes to get laughs ... and he's pretty good at it.

    Pound this into your craniums: "Bill Simmons doesn't hate the Blazers or its fans, but he does like page-views and hits on his website(s) so when you comment about and link to his stories he's getting exactly the reaction he wants."

    Besides all that he's actually pretty fucking brilliant and if you aren't listening to his podcast or reading stuff at Grantland.com you're missing out on some really, really good stuff.

    I just don't listen to those. I listen to the lines with Cousin Sal, when he has "experts" on, and I really enjoy when he talks to other ESPN guys like Wingo and Van Pelt in a more casual environment.
