Bill Simmons' Book Can Stop A Bullet

In case you've had your head under a rock the last couple weeks, ESPN columnist Bill Simmons has a new book out. The Book of Basketball is some 700 pages, which makes it quite a large (and expensive) read.

Since this is kind of a big deal for Simmons, he's been all over the place promoting the book. Besides his tour and an bit with Kenny Mayne that Mike Francesa didn't like, Simmons also stopped by ESPN2's SportsNation Wednesday afternoon. It was there that his book was put through a rather, um, unique test.



Not sure how I'd feel if I had to sit on a television show while someone shot a bullet through my book. Then again, if the book was actually thick enough to stop it, perhaps it's something worth shouting to the world.
