It's going to be even more hilarious when both of them go ahead of Cole Aldrich. By the way, the most underrated lottery prospect right now is Xavier Henry. Best high school recruit, started off slow, everyone soured on him, he even fell out of Chad's top-15. Now he's coming on. That guy is a top-6 pick.

Bill, you have always been a HUGE supporter or HORSE at the all star game. What did you think of the debacle that was this years HORSE game.?
Bill Simmons (1:36 PM)
I'm done suggesting fixes for All-Star Weekend. They screw it up every year. If they really cared, they would create a committee to save it - a little like what they did for the Olympics post-2004 - and make an honest effort to make it entertaining. Their biggest mistake is burying the Rookie-Soph game on Friday. That should be the marquee Sat. night event.

Bill my fiance wants to know what we are dancing too in our wedding - plus I have to be the only guy from the caymans asking you a question. If you could pick THE WORST possible first dance song for a wedding what would it be?
Bill Simmons (1:36 PM)
"Closer" by Nine Inch Nails.

You're tough on announcers, can you tell me how some TNT executive sleeps through the night knowing he has to wake up and sign a paycheck for Reggie Miller? It's got to kill him, right?
Bill Simmons (1:37 PM)
Whoops, posted that by accident. As far as you know.

How was the Eric Maynor deal not at all publicized. These are the types of moves that make good teams into great teams. The Zombie Sonics have legit backups in a couple of key positions. If they can land a big man in the next year or two they could be a as cohesive of a team as you can get in this day and age in sports.
Bill Simmons (1:39 PM)
A better question: how does Ty Lawson and Maynor fall to the bottom of the teens in last year's draft? Don't these GM's watch college basketball? Why even have a college basketball season then? Really, it's a newsflash that Ty Lawson is fast and a game-changer off the bench at the very worst? I had no idea!

Have you considered the possibility/likelihood of Tomlinson ending up a Pat? Belichick loves veterans who no one else wants.
Bill Simmons (1:41 PM)
I've considered it. If it's a choice between signing Tomlinson or signing an animal carcass that's rotting on the side of the road, obviously, I'd go with Tomlinson. I'd like to think we could do better. How many years in a row can they stick Brady with mediocre to sucky RB's? Ten? 12? Dillon in 2004 was the only good one he ever had.
Kurt (Cleveland)
Speaking of Mark Titus...you've seen the "Mr. Rainmaker" video on youtube haven't you? Coach Matta needs to find our guy some minutes!!!
Bill Simmons (1:42 PM)
It's a fantastic 4 minutes. I loved it. Surprised the NCAA didn't have him murdered for it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5V6FCitvRUM

Why do I feel like Danilo "The Situation" Gallinari is nothing more than a glorified Jason Kapono?
Bill Simmons (1:42 PM)
Is that really his nickname? Because, if it is, I love it!
Jordan (Worcester)
Would LOVE to hear your thoughts on Tony Kornheiser's suspension. Even though you probably can't. Ugh.
Bill Simmons (1:44 PM)
Sadly, I have to refrain. You're have to wait for my book, "Tuesdays With Korny" in 16 years.
Jim (Denver)
Are you sick of the promos for "The Marriage Ref" yet? Not since "The Closer" have I hated a show that hasn't aired yet so much.
Bill Simmons (1:45 PM)
I agree. I hate the show so much and want it to fail so badly that I almost don't know what to do with myself.
Charlie (NJ)
Kornheiser topic brings me to an interesting question, if allowed to answer, which ESPN show host would you most like to work with and why?
Bill Simmons (1:47 PM)
I would love to host West Coast PTI with that chubby deviant fu manchu wearing Cuban lothario Dan LeBatard. Just stick us in the LA studio and let us go at it. Unfortunately he'd never move to LA and I'd never move to Miami. So we'll have to settle for sending each other sarcastic emails that you can't see.
Bill Simmons (1:48 PM)
By the way, I'd like to thank my son for waking us up today at 5:45 with his "Max and Ruby Max?" routine. He singlehandedly reduced the ceiling of this chat from an A-plus to a C-plus. Don't have kids. I'm telling you. Just be an aunt or an uncle.
