After serving a suspension from Twitter by ESPN, Bill Simmons returned yesterday to the social media site and tweeted up a storm.

Interestingly, much of it coincided with ESPN’s Monday Night Football game between Simmmons’ New England Patriots and the New Orleans Saints – the seemingly perfect venue for both sides.

Last week, Bill Simmons had some harsh tweets for staffers (“deceitful scumbags”) at a Boston radio station that just so happens to be an ESPN partner. On Thursday, the network determined that he had violated their Twitter policy and suspended from its use for two weeks. The subsequent blog coverage was biting, as many jumped at the chance to compare Simmons to a child on timeout. Is ESPN cutting off their nose to spite their face?
