I don’t think Simmons is anywhere near as bad as he could be, considering he’s now a mega rich media mogul who could say whatever he wants. People want to act like he’s Skip, but I believe he’s still trying to give good info and reasonable takes. He’s popular because his whole shtick is being the slightly sophisticated everyman. Blue collar with just a crust of snobbery. Spewing bullshit hot takes isn’t his brand. He doesn’t have to do that to drive clicks. I find most of his takes on sports and pop culture to be reasonable or, at the very least, sincere.
