HBO canceled “Any Given Wednesday.” It now appears to be open season on Bill Simmons, at least for folks not sweating the next round of hires at The Ringer

Richard Sandomir laid into Simmons in the New York Times. Cris Collinsworth went for the throat in a now deleted tweet after Simmons criticized his analysis. Here’s a screengrab.

If that tweet were a soccer tackle, it would be a merciless scything. Here was Simmons’ tweet that elicited that response.

Somebody needs to gently break the news to Collinsworth that the Pats have a weak front 7 and that's why Seattle's o-line looks good.

Internet gawkers will declare Collinsworth the winner. Though, the true winner is sports media blogs.
