ESPN HEAVY-HITTER Bill Simmons dared his bosses in Bristol to punish him for his extraordinary tirade against NFL commissioner Roger Goodell earlier this week.

And tonight company chiefs have suspended the Grantland editor.

Here’s the statement from ESPN:

Every employee must be accountable to ESPN and those engaged in our editorial operations must also operate within ESPN’s journalistic standards. We have worked hard to ensure that our recent NFL coverage has met that criteria. Bill Simmons did not meet those obligations in a recent podcast, and as a result we have suspended him for three weeks.
