TWITTER REAX: ESPN's Bill Simmons wrote on his Twitter account, "Anyone who hates ESPN should go to the Sports Emmys -- it's the one night that the industry can get us back by not voting for anything we do." SI.com's Richard Deitsch wrote, "PTI & 30 for 30 have combined for just one Sports Emmy win (PTI in 2009). I applaud Bill Simmons for calling them out. ... And Skip Bayless was nominated for a Sports Emmy last year. I consider the North Korean government more legit." The Big Lead's Tyler Duffy: "Sports Emmys, while higher up the totem poll than ESPYs, are still in the 'you might have to update your wikipedia page yourself' realm."
