SportsGrid Presents: The Top 25 Sports Bloggers, Writers, And Tweeters
The #1 Draft Pick
(And Soon-To-Be Free Agent?)
Bill Simmons, ESPN – Not a blogger, per se, but no list of prominent sportswriters who rose to fame mainly through the internet would feel complete without Simmons – in large part because his career made possible those of several others on this list. He’s been subject to more ridicule as he’s gotten more and more famous, but is there anyone for whom that’s not true?
Really, Simmons is at the peak of his powers right now – he’s as widely read (and listened to)as he’s ever been, he has a #1 New York Times bestseller, over 1 million Twitter followers (he uses the site obsessively after initially trashing it), and ESPN’s acclaimed documentary series, 30 For 30, was his brainchild. Look for Simmons, a former Jimmy Kimmel Live writer, to try and leave a bigger mark in the television world on the heels of 30 For 30‘s success – and his soon-to-expire ESPN contract might afford him some newfound flexibility.
