Bill Simmons's cartoon is awful and painful

[Ice Cream Jonsey]

Bill Simmons is a great columnist for ESPN's "Page 2." Sure, he's the most unapologetic homer I've ever seen... but they brought him in for that. Ragging on him for that sort of thing is senseless. Plus, he's the only person in the world who can make basketball interesting.

His cartoon is right here: http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/index . Unlike all other Flash animation, it does not feature a miserably long "LOADING" screen, it does not play at a volume roughly 90 times what a normal person would call "reasonably loud" and it is not fully staffed with the voices of nasally, acne-pitted teenagers.

It IS terrible, however.

A sad day! For someone who had made fun of so much for so long. How the hell did this cartoon get a green light?

It wasn't terrible, but it's nothing special.

The dog was cute. I know exactly what it feels like. Once a week, I know exactly what that feels like.

IT WAS TERRIBLE!

But it's nothing special. The dog was cute. I know exactly what it feels like. Once a week, I know exactly what that feels like.

Yeah, I bet that dog would be better off if those guys followed five or six teams poorly rather than ONE TEAM WEL--

Well, well, well. Congratulations. You got me to defend what I previously called out as utter shit. Well played... well played.

That cartoon was terrible. It looked like it was written by someone who had been asked to write a premise for a cartoon for the first time in their life. Anyhow if a cartoon doesn't involve tentacles didilying 14 year old asians, well frankly, I've lost intrest.

Stupid cartoon, and having commercials before, during, and after the stupid thing pisses me off to no end. Fuck ESPN.
