Earlier this evening, ESPN announced it was suspending Bill Simmons for three weeks in response to a recent podcast where he blasted NFL commissioner Roger Goodell and called him a liar, among other things, for his handling of the Ray Rice debacle. More importantly, he also begged ESPN to suspend him for saying it. "Please call me and say I'm in trouble. I dare you," he said.ESPN obliged and announced the suspension, which begins today and ends October 15, in a brief press release this evening. Even though it's been scrubbed from most corners of the internet, you can listen to the offending portion of the podcast below, courtesy of Business Insider.
