In that 'oral history' I guess Simmons has a pretty prominent part of the book, and he ended up leaving ESPN a few yrs later. \r\n\r\nThis guy and Simmons clearly share some sort of a bond, a strong one. I don't know if it's friendship, but it is the kind of relationship that is very frank, open, and one way flowing towards JA Miller in terms of information shared. Kind of a 'you can't have secrets from me' thing. It is wildly interesting when Simmons starts talking about his ESPN departure. ","subreddit_name":"dkcleague","author":"indeedproceed"}]}
