    Where has Robert Mayes been? Seems odd he’s missed 2 straight pods

    And he's not even being mentioned, as he missed today's too. Makes me think something is up.

    yeah and he only tweeted about football sparingly yesterday.

    seems odd

    excited for more passive aggressive comments about Brees now that it looks like he still has legs while Brady is close to cooked

    I always get a kick out of Bill blaming Vegas when he has a bad week on Guess the Lines. This exchange killed me:

    Sal: “Wow, week 15 threw you for a loop.”

    Bill: “No it didn’t! Those lines are high.”

    Sure thing, Bill.

    a bad week aka a week he doesn't cheat. But yeah anytime he questions Vegas it's eye-roll inducing.

    "The Titans are only giving 3 points to the Texans? That's too low, that should be 6, I feel like I'm getting 3 free points"

    Titans lose the game

    He compared certain things to it and then they were joking about it and making fun of him. It's because Koppleman was on. No big deal at all.

    Chris Ryan screaming his fucking impressions is a much bigger deal.

    Also, I love koppelman completely shutting Bill down a number of times.

    guessing nobody tuned in to the documentary he EP'd about dog grooming?

    To go from doing 30 for 30's to a pretty blah Andre the Giant doc to now attaching his name to dog grooming...yikes.

    Saw an interesting post on Reddit that speculates that HBO is attaching Bill to these documentaries he had nothing to do with (the surfing one, the Maradona one, this dog one) as a way of fulfilling their contractual obligations and finally ridding themselves of the disaster contract they signed him to.

    Classic Simmons on Lowe’s pod:

    Bill - ”George Hill is one of those ‘I can’t believe he’s not 30 yet’ guys”

    Lowe - “He’s not 30 yet?”

    Bill - “No...He’s 29, maybe 30”

    Lowe - “Wow” silence while he looks it up...

    Bill - “How old is he? Is he 30?”

    Lowe - “Lets see, heeeee’s...33.”

    Bill - “Oh wow.”

    The Ringer article on Falwell and Libertys football team is good. Really uses Falwells own words to let you know what a duplicitous piece of trash he is.

    Can’t wait to heat Simmons’ reaction to this doc, assuming he acknowledges it all. If i remember right, he said he doesn’t bring up Hernandez because he thinks all angle of the story have been talked about over and over.
