Quick and to the point this morning.
If you haven’t read the incredibly insightful, entertaining, forward-thinking, and brilliant email conversation between Bill Simmons and Malcolm Gladwell that was posted on ESPN.com yesterday, drop whatever you are doing and click on the click on the links below.
I’m not even going to get into the many topics they discuss or provide any highlights. Why? First, because it doesn’t matter. It’s Bill Simmons and Malcolm Gladwell, who by name and past accomplishment alone should compel you to read anything they have to say together. And second, because I could not encapsulate it well enough to do it justice. Just read it.
Content like this is why I love Bill Simmons and think he is one of the five most indispensable voices in sports today. Don’t ask me to name the other four because I’d have to sit and think about it for awhile, but I know Simmons is in there. Even when he’s pontificating or reminiscing about Boston sports teams that I don’t care about, he provides insights and observations that you just don’t find anywhere else.
Anyway, here are the links. Click now, thank me later:
