Bill Simmons calls Roger Goodell’s story ‘F***ing bulls***’

Don’t mince words, Bill. Tell us how you really feel.

Bill Hanstock is a writer, author and Emmy Award-winning producer. He began writing for SB Nation in 2011.

Update: ESPN suspended Simmons three weeks for his comments.

Bill Simmons was angry about Roger Goodell’s press conference last week, so on his “B.S. Report” podcast, he unloaded with both barrels on the NFL commissioner.

Bill Simmons, whose Grantland (and podcast network) is owned by ESPN, goes on to dare ESPN to punish him for talking about Goodell in such harsh terms.

“If one person [from ESPN says I’m in trouble], I’m going public. You leave me alone. The commissioner’s a liar and I get to talk about that on my podcast.”
