Simmons is defending a joke he wrote about Philip Rivers dropping f-bombs. Apparently Rivers is a devoutly religious person who prides himself on never swearing. Needless to say, Simmons got a lot of angry emails from fans:
"Here's a typical e-mail, courtesy of Roger in San Diego: "Have you ever heard Philip Rivers use the F-word? Have you ever met anybody who ever heard Philip Rivers use the F-word? Didn't think so. Your statement that Philip Rivers would be pacing the sidelines yelping out F-bombs is unfair, and quite frankly, nothing less than irresponsible journalism. It's almost as though you feel you have carte blanche to just make things up and put them in print." Irresponsible journalism? Who said I was a journalist? I just advised Joe Buck to become a drunk a few paragraphs ago!"That one gave me a chuckle.
