Where is Bill Simmons?

As you may/may not have noticed, Bill Simmons has been doing much less writing on ESPN.com over the past month.
This really sucks for me, as reading his columns and listening to his podcasts are a big part of my work week — they serve as a small break that I can take and read something I really enjoy. On a whim, I decided that I was going to try and find out if there was anything going on with him — causing the lack of writing/podcasting.

First I found this website: sportsguy.blogspot.com. Bill Simmons' personal blog, where he is reposting some of his columns from his old bostonsportsguy website.

After more research, it turns out there's actually some drama involved with his absence. Here are some relevant links if you were missing his content:
