I've complained about how Bill Simmons' Sports Guy columns have been deteriorating. Maybe what he really needed was a kick in the pants from football season. Of course, ripping the live, beating heart out of Boston sports fans is guaranteed comedy gold, but his NFL preview actually delivered some decent sports content for the first time in a long time, and the Top Gun references added a nice Hollywood touch (instead of beating us over the head with the fact that he's living in LA now.
Sports Guy was still second-best on Page 2, though, as homoerotic fly-boys just can't measure up to life with the real, live Philly cheerleaders (Philly fans cheer?).
