Simmons is just expounding, at the highest level, the fascinations, lifestyle and thoughts of a guy who likes sports. So much so that he actually doesn't cover sports as much as he covers being a sports fan.

It continues to fascinate me how someone who is willing to work hard and follow his passion can use the Internet to do something previously thought impossible.
I love Simmons and his writing. I probably never would have heard of him in the days before he could easily publish on the Web. There are an multitude of voices just like his out there that I look forward to discovering.

His Vegas columns are some of my favorites; my friends and I can relate to them on so many levels.

Purchased his book but have not had a chance to dive into it yet :)
