Writing is like playing golf - you have to keep working at your swing  (Bill Simmons Quotes) I pride myself as being a very supportive parent. I go to my daughter’s soccer games. I hit most of them. I try to go to all of them.  (Bill Simmons Quotes) I graduated college in 1992 and didn’t reach a sizable audience with my column for nine solid years. If I had started ten years later, or ten years sooner, everything could have happened sooner, obviously. But if I had started fifteen years later? I don’t know.  (Bill Simmons Quotes) I think one of the great things about a football season is that you see teams play in all types of environments, and if you can’t handle one of them, you probably don’t deserve to win anyway.  (Bill Simmons Quotes) First impressions matter more in basketball than in any other sport, and they can be savored only in person. Players can’t hide behind pads or helmets, so we can stare at them, evaluate every move they make: running, jumping, walking, even ogling the cheerleaders. We can see every ripple and tattoo. If they’re lazy, we can tell.  (Bill Simmons Quotes) One of my favorite things about basketball is that you can’t break it down into some sort of science that makes total sense.  (Bill Simmons Quotes) Why should it matter to us when wrestlers are found dead in their beds or seen limping around on two fake hips? Why should it matter to us that there’s a list of modern wrestlers who died before the age of 50 - many of them famous - and that the list is more than 70 names long? Hey, there’s always another wave of guys on the way. Always.  (Bill Simmons Quotes) We don’t realize how much the NFL is quietly drifting towards flag football. During the 80s, part of the defense’s goal was to put the fear of God into offensive players... that’s fading away.  (Bill Simmons Quotes) Our favorite teams bring people together, keep family members close, bond people from different generations. Some of the happiest moments of my life involve something that happened with one of my teams.  (Bill Simmons Quotes) Our favorite teams bring people together, keep family members close, bond people from different generations. Some of the happiest moments of my life involve something that happened with one of my teams. Some of the best relationships I ever had were with Boston athletes that I never even met.  (Bill Simmons Quotes) Five days after the Tsarnaev brothers blew up Boston’s most sacred event, and just 24 hours after one brother was killed and the other was caught, everyone decided that it was OK to play baseball at Fenway again. The game happened on a Saturday afternoon, preceded by an emotional ceremony and many prayers.  (Bill Simmons Quotes) There’s a tipping point that happens with soccer in which you just kinda get it. I was drawn to it because the best soccer teams play similarly to my favorite basketball teams - like the eighties Lakers or eighties Celtics - teams that emphasized teamwork over individualism and relied on passing as their biggest ongoing edge  (Bill Simmons Quotes) I am old enough to remember every Red Sox season since 1975. Baseball is long. Baseball takes forever. It’s day in, day out, for six solid months - seven if you’re lucky. Winning is always fun  (Bill Simmons Quotes) You always hear that tragedies put sports in perspective, that they prove we shouldn’t care this much about the successes and failures of a bunch of wealthy strangers. I’m going the other way - sometimes, sports put everything else in perspective  (Bill Simmons Quotes) Coffee is the highlight of my day. After coffee everything is downhill  (Bill Simmons Quotes) But that’s the thing about basketball: you don’t play games on paper  (Bill Simmons Quotes) One of my favorite things about basketball is that you can’t break it down into some sort of science that makes total sense  (Bill Simmons Quotes) When I was in elementary school, we had the kid who threw chairs, the kid who stuttered, and the kid who went to the bathroom on himself... but we never had the kid who came in one day and started shooting everyone  (Bill Simmons Quotes) If you have a privately owned system, there’s going to be monies leaving the community that will go towards shareholder dividends and high salaries. If you have a community owned, municipally owned facility, those extra resources are being reinvested in the community and they can be going to weatherization and other projects that are vested in the community  (Bill Simmons Quotes) I pride myself as being a very supportive parent. I go to my daughter’s soccer games. I hit most of them. I try to go to all of them  (Bill Simmons Quotes)
