"Gratland" editor Bill Simmons suspended after calling NFL commissioner a liar; ESPN instructs talent "no talking" about the issue
ESPN's Bill Simmons has been suspended after challenging the network to punish him for calling National Football League (NFL) commissioner Roger Goodell a liar. During Monday's episode of "The B.S. Report," Simmons had described Goodell as a liar and dared ESPN to call him out. Last Wednesday, the network heeded the challenged and announced that the "Gratland" editor-in-chief is being suspended for three weeks following his bold move.
