Your Weekly Sports Column, Sponsored by Coors Light

If you buy something from a link, Vox Media may earn a commission. See our ethics statement.

If you’re a regular reader of ESPN.com, well, then you obviously haven’t seen the light and made the full-time switch to SBNation.com. But aside from that news, you also may have raised an eyebrow this past week when you saw Bill Simmons’ latest column.

↵Toward the bottom, there was Simmons’ “Miller Lite Great Call of the Week.” Slate’s Josh Levin has a thorough look at this news, and asks the fundamental question: with advertising stretching its tentacles all over broadcasting, is this the first step toward branded columnists?

↵If so, I’d like to use this space to openly lobby for a sponsorship with Jordan Brand. I would be ballin’ in this “velour lifestyle jacket.”
