Bill Simmons made one of the squarest comments I have ever heard while he was trying to look like a sharp. It was actually about poker but it still applies. He was on the Jim Rome show about a year ago. Rome acknowledged that Simmons was a serious poker player and then asked Simmons how he felt about the poker craze and all the new players. Simmons says he hates them and they are a bunch of Johnny come latelys etc. Then Mr. Poker says "I have been playing for awhile....since Rounders came out."
I nearly crashed my car. I mean are you kidding? That is like a Patriot fan saying he hates all the new Pats fans because he has been a fan since they won their first Superbowl. He thinks he is a veteran because he started playing when Rounders came out? He probably had a problem with bartenders because he has been bartending since Cocktail also.
I predict the Simmons will be a tout shortly and then bitching about all the other touts next year because he has been touting since Two For The Money came out.
