Have you ever read Bill Simmons?

NO ONE at this table ordered a rum & Coke
Charles: Penn has some good people
A CT? Really?
Any two will do
Any three for me
Any four will score
Any five are live

Obviously not, since he refers to him as "that person".

do you think it`s a proper way to ask someone to come just by spam him till he`s dead? If you no allow spamming in BB so why you encourage users to spam outside?

Just for me it`s shame to behave like this...

I would agree with this if it would be held inside BB and only those normal letters would be send for him to read...

In this case, it's proper, as he has a regular column where he runs EMails that readers wrote, he loves online sports games, and he loves basketball, so yes, this is not a problem.

I just think you have no idea what you're talking about...

Please answer:

would you like to get something around 5000-20000 e-mails with the text "Please visit BuzzerBeater and play this basketball management game" in just one or two weeks?

What would be your opinion about this if you would get such an amount?

Have you ever tried to read so much e-mails?

If first few hundreds would be with the text from few lines asking to visit some game and only after that you would get one normal letter would you still care to read it if you would see that game mentioned?


And you still have to show at least some respect to any person, event if he`s Simons or what ever. And still as I see link that is provided to his blog, so last update is made in 2008...


So if you`ll be able to convince me that BB users wont piss him off, so i wont say a word.

I am not interested in convincing you. And you're certainly allowed to say whatever you want, as long as it falls within forum rules.

If Bill Simmons gets half of the number of e-mails you suggest, I'm sure Mark will make a triple back flip and post the footage on Youtube. Unfortunately, it's probably going to be more like a tenth, and that's if we're lucky.

And since you're obviously not familiar with the guy's work, Bill Simmons i an ESPN columnist who runs a tongue-in-cheek basketball commentary column. A substantial portion of this column is sifting through an open mailbag, and addressing the most interesting stuff he finds there. So he's fair game. That's about it.
