The feud within ESPN between Mike & Mike and Bill Simmons has been put to rest for now.
Simmons, a host on the network and editor of Grantland, recently trashed Mike Golic--one half of Mike & Mike--after Golic chose to call attention to an analogy that Simmons used recently to describe LeBron James’ slow start to the season.
Simmons made a comparison of James’ season so far to that of Albert Pujols, a baseball player who left the St. Louis Cardinals as a free agent for the Los Angeles Angels and a massive contract but did not live up to expectations.
Golic played part of the clip on the Mike & Mike show on Thursday morning, saying “I think it’s one of the most ridiculous statements I’ve heard four games into a season in my life in any sport.”
