ESPN’s Bill Simmons, a.k.a. The Sports Guy, is famous for his long-winded, hilarious sports columns, being married to The Sports Gal, and for watching enough television to rot the brains of even the pop culture aficionados at T.H. Gossip.
That said, it’s only appropriate that when asked to describe his feelings on Miami, site of tonight’s Super Bowl XLI, Simmons turned to a young reality TV star we know and sort of love. Here’s what Bill writes…
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
All I know is this: My assignment for this week was to come to Miami and tell you, the home reader, what it’s like to have a Super Bowl here. Right now, we’re working on a solid A-plus. The grade could change, but that’s what we’re looking at right now.
Since I can’t sum up my feelings on South Beach in a single sentence, let’s hand it over to the great Brody Jenner, who’s making a noble attempt on The Hills right now to break the reality-TV record for “most cheesy compliments ever given to a girl while trying to get into her pants.”
Two things you need to know about Brody:
- He’s Bruce Jenner’s son
- He’s already been on two reality shows.
Now he’s pursuing the star of The Hills – America’s sweetheart, Lauren Conrad – who’s far too stupid to realize that Brody called her only because he knew the cameras had just started rolling for Season 2.
You would think she’d catch on after Jason Wahler (her fellow Laguna Beach grad, and last season’s nose-itching boyfriend on The Hills) pulled the same stunt on her and she was too dumb to see that one, either.
She’s easy prey for a player like Brody, who, since his arrival on The Hills, has been laying lines on her like “you have the most beautiful eyes I have EVER seen.”
We’re about three more episodes away from having a threesome with him and a 6-foot bottle of Rohypnol. I don’t see this ending well.
What does this have to do about anything? Well, in this week’s episode, Brody finally lured LC back to his apartment and gave her his greatest line yet:
“There’s nowhere I’d rather be than right here with you.”
I don’t feel that strongly about South Beach, but give me a few more days. We might get there.
