I thought he made draft day fun on ESPN.

I love Bill. I hate not listening to him.

Yep, was thinking on that as well.

I've been missing the podcasts and columns like crazy. Draft night will be less fun without him on.

We'll have significantly fewer fist pumps and consequently significantly more talk of wingspan and upside.  Shame.

If at least they had Steven A. Smith we could have the return of the Cheez Doodles heckler.

The Anthony Bennett reaction and the James Young fist bump were some of the most genuine reactions I've seen in sports broadcasting. Miss ya Bill.

Yup I'll miss him.  I've missed him since he left.  Would have loved to hear his take on all of the stuff that's happened.

I'll definitely miss him on draft night, but I've more so missed his BS Report, Bill don't lie, columns, and everything else he used to do.  I can't stand listening to Jalen Rose, and Zach Lowe is better to read than listen to, so Grantland is almost dead to me.  I spent more time enjoying his product than everyone else's combined.

Oddly, draft night is where I might miss him the least though.

He gets lots of hate, but I learn a ton from his NBA podcasts that I don't know about other teams and the league as a whole.  He makes the NBA product way more fun to me.    Edited.  Profanity and masked profanity are against forum rules and may result in discipline. ESPN.

I hope Bill Simmons is reading this thread right now.
