I was pretty sure I saw that inverse relationship.

I haven’t heard of any rumors lately. If so, who would be coming.

they think is on the move? I haven’t heard that any of them are looking to relocate, to KC or otherwise.

His voice is a lot whinier than I expected…yet at the same time its almost identical to the voice I read his coloums in.

He really did help invent this gossipy, snarky, ironic, and very personal style that’s currently so popular among the sports commentariat. And he’s often very funny. I really think of his Sports Guy column as humor first and serious sports analysis second.

His logic on this one, of course, is completely nuts, since the Chiefs have no effect whatsoever on the Royals, and neither does the NBA. But when a writer is as prolific as Simmons, you’re going to get some crapola mixed in with more interesting stuff, since he opines on almost everything. Most sportswriters have a much more limited focus than Simmons does.

One thing that bugs me about him is his emphasis on gambling. The guy’s clearly a ludopath, and I don’t like his bragging about trips to Vegas and putting down thousands of dollars on the Super Bowl; it encourages other people to want to do the same. It would be like a guy bragging about getting drunk all the time. Not that a little of either one is a bad thing, but in excess they’ll both wreck your life.

I bet his wife’s good-looking. Appearance seems to be important to Simmons.

By the way, I’m thrilled about Cassel and Vrabel. Now I’d trade down from the three spot for, say, two low firsts, or a low first and two seconds. I don’t think the huge guarantees that players picked very high get are worth the risk, and right now the Chiefs need lots of decent players, not three studs and a bunch of bums.

I would also trade Gonzalez and Johnson for whatever I could get for them. Johnson won’t bring much, but Gonzalez ought to get us a second.
