On Sept. 29, popular sports columnist Bill Simmons '92 returned to campus to discuss his book, Now I Can Die in Peace: How ESPN's Sports Guy Found Salvation, with a Little Help from Nomar, Pedro, Shawshank, and the 2004 Red Sox (ESPN Books). In the book, Simmons chronicles his fervent passion for the Red Sox and replays the years leading up to the team's historic championship season. After the talk, Simmons fielded questions from students and faculty.
Simmons writes the "Sports Guy" column for ESPN.com's Page 2 and ESPN The Magazine. A former sports reporter for the Boston Herald, he founded the award-winning bostonsportsguy.com Web site in 1997; Simmons was also a writer for the television show, Jimmy Kimmel Live.
