How it's happening I really believe NFL pressured ESPN

why would the NFL want him off ESPN. I don't recall any commentary he's had on football
Makes sense.
He really doesn't need them with Grantland and his podcasts popping off. Plus ESPN has never really liked him anyway.

http://ftw.usatoday.com/2015/05/bil...contract-roger-goodell-dan-patrick-liar-videoESPN president John Skipper says Bill Simmons’ exit had nothing to do with his harsh words for Roger Goodell last fall, in which he called the NFL commissioner “a liar” and then dared his bosses to suspend him for saying it. So it has to be a wild coincidence that 24 hours after Simmons bashed Goodell again, this time for concealing the contents of the Wells Report (which just so happened to be about Simmons’ favorite team and quarterback), ESPN announced their partnership with Simmons was over.

So possibly a replacement for Chuck on TNT? NBA network? CBS network? Either way i hated this nigga at first, but ive grown to respect his work. Him and Jalen Rose chemistry is impeccable.

I really like Grantland's basketball coverage and I respect his thoughts on basketball when he actually writes it because I believe he thinks shit out a bit more instead of just going with straight emotion like he does on television.
I'm gonna miss the short lived Grantland Basketball hour that was coming on ESPN also. That was the best stuff he did on T.V. because he had time before hand to think about the subject and how he felt about it. He just seems too biased fan like when he is put on the spot to speak about something that just happened and he can get annoying.

Ima miss the 30 for 30's grantland basketball hour was cool too. Outside of that he was awkward and terrible on TV

Hopefully no one from Grantland jumps ship. I think it's a quality site. Deadspin has laid out the details of how it happened. Dude pretty much got fired.

He was making $5m according to NYT, wow! I say he start his own site, only thing he needs is financial backing.
ESPN will survive without him, I wonder who got next? I like Zach Lowe's stuff. Wesley Morris is good too.

He had grantland before ESPN. I don't think they own it.

I believe he started the website and ESPN was that gave his website the platform and some financing I could be wrong though
