He's their sixth receiving option when everybody is healthy.

It ...Bitter clowns are my favorite kind of clowns! It actually pains me to rip Simmons. I've always loved his stuff. He's one of my favorite sports writers, but he has absolutely jumped the shark. I wish it weren't so. This isn't a Colts/Pats thing. It's talented writer moves to LA and loses his edge thing. Simmons has been responsible for some of my favorite collumns ever, but he hasn't been really good for some time now.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1364482294646808855.post-22479546195504167722007-12-01T05:57:00.000-03:002007-12-01T05:57:00.000-03:00Without googling it, I'll say McNair had runs of 1...Without googling it, I'll say McNair had runs of 10, 15 and 15 yards in that game.<BR/><BR/>His knee/ankle/foot/toe/neck injury looked OK that day.<BR/><BR/>As far as Simmons, I don't really read him. He's kind of annoying actually, constantly pressing for funny metaphors and analogies that just don't do it for a national audience, especially people from Indiana.<BR/><BR/>As far as anonymity, JC = Jeremy Cohen, Providence RI. 401-524-1674<BR/><BR/>Feel free to hit me on the hip if you have something to say, other than the outrageously gay comment about Aunt Koko??? Who the fuck is that?<BR/><BR/>It wasn't Stokely then, it was that other tight end (utecht?) that made two or three circus catches to keep drives alive in the Conf Championship.<BR/><BR/>And yea I went to public school, Classical High.

But we all stand on the shoulders of giants and your Auntie Koko would be proud.<BR/><BR/>You might want to check on Stokley, however, because I am pretty sure he did not play against the Pats in either game last year. Type your query in slowly and avoid the drool on the keyboard.<BR/><BR/>As for Simmons, he's a joke, but that's the point. He took his schtick as a home-town fan to a national level and it does not work, which is sad. I assume Bostonians love him and find him enormously insightful and funny, while the rest of the country would rather endure root canal. He's a horrible game picker. Nose-picker, maybe he's hall of fame material. Like our friend JC. <BR/><BR/>The ONE contribution Simmons has made to the well-being of our species was his 2003 playoffs article about the Tenn/NE ice bowl divisional game and Steve McNair taking horse tranquilizers to make it through the game. It took the "Steve McNair's playing banged-up this season" cliche to its absurdist extreme. One reason I loved it was because SM always got a ton of bogus credit for being tough, when maybe "accident prone to a point that he's hurting his team" might have been more accurate, even in his shared MVP year. (Yes, I am bitter about the shared thing.)Bob M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09868145755330857138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1364482294646808855.post-13875140797844431092007-12-01T03:54:00.000-03:002007-12-01T03:54:00.000-03:00Hey DZ you bitter clown:Don't hate on Simmons beca...Hey DZ you bitter clown:<BR/><BR/>Don't hate on Simmons because he actually gets read.<BR/><BR/>And happens to be from an area with a market large enough to field professional franchises in all four major sports, not just some hack football team that you stole from Maryland and the Pacers.<BR/><BR/>The last three times the Colts beat us, objective fans like myself knew it was coming.<BR/><BR/>We simply didn't have the personnel to cover 88, 87, that bitch Stokely and The Moustache.<BR/><BR/>This is different.
