Boston, Boston, Boston, Boston, Boring

There are 19 questions in Bill Simmons' mini-mailbag today. Fourteen are directly related to the Red Sox or Patriots, and he works in the Sox in answers to two of the non-Boston questions.

Which raises the question:

1. Are only Boston fans reading him any more?

2. Or does he only take questions from people who ask Boston-related questions?

Either way, he's drifting into unreadability again after a relatively strong summer. This is the second column in a row I just couldn't get through.

His hissy fits about the Colts have subsided considerably, though he does enter into this strange dream sequence today about two Colts players falling in love and refusing to play until Tony Dungy supports their right to be together.

At this point, his name should just be changed to "The Boston Shill".

Honestly, take a look at all of the actions he's defending with this Patriots cheating thing.

I never really read Simmons, more skim so I can contribute when friends are talking about his latest piece. I noticed in the ALCS he referred to Betancourt as "proven steroid user" no fewer than three times. Where's the outrage toward Rodney Harrison?

cheating is only wrong if it occurs on teams based in the other 49 states. duh.
