Farkas Vs. Simmons

Now some of you may be wondering what in the world is a Farkas, and who is Simmons? These questions and many more will be answered in the next few minutes as you dive into the wonderful world of learning about these two notorious authors. This will not be similar to my much acclaimed comparison between myself and Lebron.

Simmons (aka:The Sports Guy) has been at his writing career for some time and has become a very popular writer in ESPN the Magazine. This is not where Bill Simmons has really thrived, his cultish following has evolved on ESPNs Page 2. His weekly writings and occasional live chats bring thousands of readers all to the same agreement; Bill Simmons is worth his weight in gold. Also his mailbag sessions are always enjoyable and often leave me laughing out loud. One thing that will really leave you laughing as well as pondering life's or sports greatest mysteries is his book Now I can Die in Peace.

Farkas (aka: Paul Meadors) is slightly newer at the writing thing but hopes to break onto the scene with a bang. His plan of action starts with the release of his first book Letters to Ebay. Paul has already proved his weight in gold in the classroom teaching 5th graders as well as on the field with coaching. However he hopes to improve his status from gold to platinum by becoming a triple threat with teaching, coaching, and writing. His book (set to release in the U.S. on August 30th) is not like a typical boring how to ebay book but rather an exciting journal of Art Farkas' many dealings with ebay sellers.

In closing I would just like to encourage everyone who hasn't already to explore The Sports Guy World and to come up with your own conclusion on whether or not Bill Simmons is actually a true sports fanatic or just a writer trying to make a living. Secondly, please look into the book by Art Farkas and purchase it for a friends birthday or maybe just for a good laugh for yourself, because if it is anything like what I think it will be it will knock your socks off.
