ESPN's Bill Simmons either can't help himself, doesn't learn lessons or simply doesn't care because his contract with the Worldwide Leader expires later this year and he already has his sights on bigger and better things.

The link on that tweet, as noted by Awful Announcing, is a Photoshopped image of Lewis with deer antlers — a reference to the deer antler spray controversy Lewis found himself in a couple years ago.
