But Never Count T.J. Out of the Running
Now let’s see. Ray Rhodes and Pete Carroll get canned for finishing 8-8, yet T.J. Simers is still there after going 0-for-16 with his columns. How about a trade to Cleveland for a backup proofreader?

T.J. Simers’ negative, nasty and sarcastic slant on the NFL is a sad commentary on the L.A. Times’ commitment to being the “best paper in the world.”
I have been an NFL fan since my childhood. In fact, my father was the original “voice” of the L.A. Rams. In my entire life, I am hard-pressed to find many faults with the entertainment value of the NFL, yet your staff writer continually focuses on the one-tenth of 1% negative for 99% of his columns.
It’s no wonder we don’t have a team in L.A. Before we get a new franchise, let’s get a new writer. By the way, Georgia jokes were getting stale in the late ‘70s.

I have big problems. My dog bit me yesterday. Children throw rocks at me. Three psychiatrists have refused to treat me. They told me my money was no good, said I couldn’t be helped. I feel so alone. I’ve tried but I just can’t help myself. I like T.J. Simers.
