I concur with everyone's opinion of Simmons but only with the stipulation that he is the "Maxim" writer of ESPN. Lots of laughs and obscure pop-culture references. Although the Karate Kid references are really wearing me down, especially when he compares virtually every member of the Red Sox to Daniel-san and every member of the Yankees to the Cobra Kai.
As far as serious sports writers, my vote goes to Peter Gammons. He is usually very accurate and takes subtle, yet painful jabs at the horde of evil agents and primadonna ballplayers.
Simmons is the Wendy's burger to Gammons' filet mignon.
