Cris Collinsworth torches Bill Simmons over failed HBO launch

With no regard for Simmons' life!

He never had any qualms about taking shots at fellow ESPN employees when he was employed by them so it's no surprise that he's taking shots at other people now that he's gone. However, Cris Collinsworth came back and let Simmons have it on Twitter like the mad genius he is.

If you remember, Simmons had a talk show "Any Given Wednesday" on HBO and it was promptly cancelled this month because it was not doing well at all.
