he didn't even bet carolina straight up, which would've made money. he might lose his panthers bets despite their big upset.
I have been listening to the TV Prestige Pod for White Lotus. I continue to admire Joanna Robinson and starting to think she may be the best contributor on the Ringer. It sucks that she has to share the pod with Bill. He just isn't smart enough to analyze a show like that.
I skipped the NBA talk and soccer talk, should've skipped the whole ep - Bill and Warren are smarter than half the NFL head coaches in the league - Sharp studies more film than NFL coaches - Sharp has told NFL teams they should make their HC take crisis management classes - Sharp has told NFL teams they should make their HC play Madden - every team should have someone who was elite at Madden on staff to help their coach
oh i forgot to mention the most alarming part was how he said him and his daughter (!) were watching together and he paused and zoomed in on the scene to try and figure out who it was!
maybe his million dollar picks will be better this week because he won't have every bet tied to NE good job by Bill to get the narrative that when NE loses, it is because they 'blew a winnable game'
saw this on reddit but this is insane https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tracy_Chapman#Career Brian Koppelman discovered Tracy Chapman
remember when Bill would go on and on about how much Kanye meant to his family? Wonder if Ben was tuned in to InfoWars today
Thought that was his dad? He heard her singing, alerted his dad who added her to a decent size concert ticket then signed her once she graduated.
His dad was. Always enjoy seeing these dudes push the “you just have to put in the hard long work to be successful” that Koppelman always espouses and you learn his dad ran a record label lol
I watched a clip of Bill talking to Larry Bird last night. Bill actually went in on Larry He just straight up asked if Larry should have been traded in 1988 lol
the man is truly shameless Last Week: -$1.034M Season: -$4.464M $1M - Steelers (-1.5) $1M - Commies ML & Commies/Giants Under 52.5 = -105 odds $1M - Titans (+4.5) $1M - Raiders (-1) (only if Mike Williams is inactive) $500K - Bengals (+8.5) & Holy Cross Football (-1.5) 6 Point Teaser = -135 odds $50K - Chiefs 1H & Bengals ML = +800 odds $100K - Saints & Jets ML Parlay = +510 odds
and teasing them with a team playing the fucking Chiefs. like, just tease the Ravens or Seahawks or something like a normal person.
Never fails. Bill: I have Buffalo -7 vs Jets. Sal: I get you here. I had Bills -8. The line is -9.5 Bill: THAT IS TOO HIGH [...] a few minutes later Bill: hmmm. I am 2 points off on all of these!
another documented instance of Bill not actually watching the games on Sunday, had to get a cryo session in
bill also explicitly mentioned this awesome catch as a big play in the game except the play was reviewed and adams was called out of bounds upon replay
yep, when he said "Ainge stuck with them when people were looking to trade one of those guys," Bill neglected to mention that was him. Also, amazing in the rewatchables wen Bill made fun of his wife for not being able to pronounce an actresses name. And CR said YOU OF ALL PEOPLE MAKE FUN OF HER FOR THAT?
My mind went there even before CR called him out. Hilarious. Bill again referenced this catch in the Man on Fire pod lol
Bill is doing a victory lap for the Celtics like they won the title, pump the brakes a bit. Not even listening to any of these NBA pods, way too much unjustified smugness
Based on Ryens comment and noiseless laughing I think he was making a joke about “poppers” on life advice when Kyle mentioned them. But then again neither of these guys knew “six to midnight”.
CR + Andy's best of the year TV pod with Esmail is routinely the ringer's best episode this year's was an all-timer with Esmail HOT and combative
he said he was from somewhere in PA closer to New York than Philly and then moved to the Midwest growing up
