• Single Best Reason NOT to Pick Them: One reader writers, "If you want a team that will absolutely crush your spirit, you must support Tottenham Hotspur for the '06-'07 EPL season."

You know what? Screw it. Since I started writing for ESPN.com in 2001, the Pats won three Super Bowls, the Celts made the conference finals, the Sox won the World Series, and I even bought season tickets for the Clippers and watched them win a playoff series for the first time in 30 years. Maybe I can help the Spurs in the Karma Department. Besides, they're named after a Shakespeare character! How can you beat that?




lmao

Simmons is hilarious.  I've been reading his columns for a couple of years.  I'm sure lots of folks in LA hate him because he mocks Kobe all the time, and he's a Clippers season ticket holder.  I'll read his columns regardless of his subject matter.  He's a great writer.
