Bill Simmons is the subject of an excellent profile by Lacey Rose of The Hollywood Reporter. Published on Wednesday, the cover story unearths some illuminating tidbits about Simmons' new company and his bitter divorce from ESPN.
After his split with ESPN last year, The Sports Guy is back with a new website called The Ringer and an upcoming sports/pop culture/tech show on HBO called "Any Given Wednesday," which premieres June 22.
During his nearly 15-year career at ESPN, Simmons went from an unknown ex-bartender to the most popular sports writer in the country.
