Simmons hates the Dolphins. He is a good NBA writer, but he is not real knowledgeable about the NFL. It is nice to get props from the national media, but there are 20 posters on this site that blow away even the best national guys when it comes to Dolphin insight.
He's huge Pats fan, so obviously he doesn't like the Phins. But to say he doesn't know anything about the NFL is pure hyperbole. Is he the best NFL writer? No, not at all. But he isbetter than alot of the stiffs out there.
He's a Pats fan so the guy must be pretty impressed to give the Fins so much credit here. Not that he's a football expert or anything but he's not an idiot either.
I read Simmons every week. Love his podcasts, and own both of his books. I did not mean to imply he was a stiff or an idiot, just that he is a better basketball writer than football. I know he is a Pats fan, but he holds a special dislike for the Phins.
Which makes the fact he thinks the Phins are a playoff team even more noteworthy I guess Probably hated typing that...
Nah, if I don't care for his opinion when he slamming us, I won't care about it when he is praising us.
Let's win today before we talk Playoffs. Today's opponent is better than last week's and we only beat last week's by a few points.
Just imagine if the Pats were playing a real schedule right now. We'd be in sole possession of first I'm sure. I hope Atlanta gets pissed and destroys them next weekend.
