Bill Simmons For T'Wolves GM!

Simmons For GM!!
If you haven't heard, ESPN columnist and podcaster Bill Simmons the Sports Guy is campaigning to be the new GM of the Minnesota Timberwolves. As a former T'Wolves fan I think this is a fuckin' great idea! (So much so that I joined the Facebook group!) I fuckin' hate the T'Wolves now, but I would totally be willing to jump back aboard the whatever-you-call-a-bangonwagon-for-a-team-with-no-bandwagon if they actually went out on a limb and hired Simmons. How great would that be?? Simmons is good for some new ideas and energy, not mention he writes a comical sport column lol. Plus, I'm almost 100% positive he could do a better job than Kevin McHale ever did. (Seriously, how hard was it to keep a decent team around Kevin Garnett?? Just the thought of it pisses me off all over again!)

Anyway, click here to listen to today's B.S. Report where Simmons announces his candidacy for the job. After the jump you can read about 4 of Bill's big ideas for Minny!

First off, you can e-mail Minnesota President Chris Wright at wright@timberwolves.com to lobby for Bill Simmons! Okay, now on top Bills big ideas!!!

Big Idea No. 1: "If we get eliminated from playoffs, tix rest of the way are half-price and season ticketholders get half-price refunds."

Big Idea No. 2: "Anyone who bought season tix in 1987 and kept them since, I am taking you to dinner. Groups of eight per dinner."

Big Idea No. 3: "I promise to trade with Chris Wallace and Mike Dunleavy as much as I possibly can. Will e-mail 'em every day with offers."

Big Idea No. 4: "Any T-Wolves fan can trade in a jersey of a player no longer on the team and get 40% off their purchase of a new one."

Go Bill!
