- BigBlueShoe of StampedeBlue has some nasty words for Bill over his theory that you need a strong QB to win in the NFL.  

Simmons also picked the Seahawks to beat the Bears. Yeah, he's kind of a flip-flopping idiot when it comes to providing intelligent football analysis.

Last season, you didn't see such bold anti-Manning talk from Simmons. Now that his Patriots and Tom Brady have 'choked' in the 2011 playoffs, we suspect the weak-willed intellectual coward will crawl back into whatever hole ESPN has dug for him.

- Charles Peach of Slam borrows TSG's idea of drafting two fantasy teammates who play the same position and counting them as an individual for stat purposes.  He suggests the Milwaukee Buck's forward pair of Drew Gooden and Ersan Ilyasova as Drewsan Goodyasova.  I'm not sure I'd own them, even as a two headed beast.

- Brandon Onda of MidwestSportsFans talks top 10 NFL nicknames and credits Simmons' Twitter feed for Peyton "The Avalanche" Hills (honorable mention).

- Joe Lazauskas of TheFasterTimes mentions "The Book of Basketball" in a satire piece that regards Gillette Stadium as the scariest place on Earth after a loss.
