The Bill Simmons devotees among you may remember that in last week’s football column, he made the following joke:
LIONS (-3.5) over RedskinsHad I not been reading a printed copy of the column on the subway, I’d probably have clicked the link, since I indeed have Portis on my fantasy team and he’s screwed me many times this season. But alas, the link was dead, and in the next graf Simmons joked,
The Lions are officially my gambling nemesis. I give up. By the way, if you would like to be a plaintiff in the class action suit by fantasy football owners against Clinton Portis, check out sueclintonportis.com for details.
(Note: To everyone who clicked on that www.sueclintonportis.com link ... I mean, you must feel pretty dumb right now? Do you have anything to say for yourself?)I emphasis that the link WAS dead, because (of course) an enterprising Sports Guy fan bought the domain name, and has turned SueClintonPortis.com into a Cult-of-Bill analysis blog. Great stuff so far- sort of doing for ESPN.com what AdNags does for the New York Times. Posted by Stephen Silver at November 11, 2004 07:17 PM
