    Their whole bit is appreciating groan-inducing pun humor, specifically because it's so cringey.

    Fake Rusillo rants are good, but this fake Jackie Mac story is so realistic, I read it in her voice


    Reminds of this one time in either 83 or 86 or maybe it was 84 because McHale definitely was limping so yeah it was 1987 and McHale and I were walking down the hallway. Down the hall, McHale and I were walking down the hall together and you remember the hallway in this specific building I’m talking about because you can’t ever forget them, and we turn the corner on this hallway and Larry was right there eating some cake!

    Larry Legend!!!!

    He was eating cake! Right there where I was walking with McHale. Larry Bird was eating cake. Unbelievable!

    This one is even better:





    JM: Well it’s funny you should mention the vaccine cuz I remember, I think it was ‘86 or ‘87, I’m hanging around after practice ya know just seein who will talk

    BS: yeah

    JM: and then I see Larry lying down on the side of the court and he’s got like I don’t know how many ice packs on his neck and knees

    BS: well it was his back that got him early!

    JM: exactly right, Bill. Exactly right, and then I look closer and you know in spite of all the ice packs he’s got on, he actually had needles hanging out of his back, just laying there on the court, you know they were coming out of the side of his back so he could lay there. And he’s shooting a ball up in the air and just catching it, with that stroke of his. Just like the farm boy he was from Indiana, I mean it was unbelievable. And I’m just standing there I mean my jaw dropped, standing there flabbergasted. So I mean I had to ask right and I was just joking around and I say “Hey Lar, what are you getting a vaccine over there?”

    BS: ha!

    JM: and he just shoots a perfect hook shot from his back, from about 20 feet away, not a 3 pointer but you know, pretty darn close, Bill. And it just splashed through the net. And Mchale actually catches it as it goes through the net and says “Hey Lar, save it for the game will ya?”

    BS: wow

    JM: so that was the quote I used for the night I think and the Globe had it read “Hey Lar, save it for the game.” And you know when you brought up the vaccine it just reminded me of that story. Just hanging out after practice you never know what you’re gonna see ya know.

    BS: yeah.

    Except it takes twenty years of hard work and not what a 22 year old can objectively get as a job?

    Plus, he’s pretty successful and lived in a few big cities over twenty years so he has an idea on life advice.

    Not to mention, it’s pretty tongue in cheek.

    Love Bill spending this season whining about the "LeBron Media Mafia" when no player gets more coddled by the media than Steph Curry, especially by Bill and Russillo. LBJ hits the game winning 3 and we get another jerk off session for the guy who lost, makes sense.

    Getting into the Goodfellas pod during the playoffs. Total aside from the real convo about the film, but I find Chris Ryan references what it’s like to do drugs more than a person should, and I’m also convinced he’s never done an illicit substance.

    True simmons bring it up a suspicious amount too. It’s all noticeably kinda strange

    He and House are definitely doing lines on a Bellagio coffee table on Vegas trips. Can’t imagine House on uppers, Jesus.

    Bill’s never talked about doing coke. Admitted to doing weed a bunch.

    Ive never got the coke vibe from him, house or jacko. Seems like something they maybe thought was cool but were never around. They went to a late 80s stuffy Catholic college. They weren’t doing lines off of Mary Anne’s titties. Based on the stigma of the 80s I’m sure they wished they could be in NY. That’s probably why this misplaced nostalgia.

    I was around a half dozen of guys in my fraternity who did coke at some point and those three weren’t it.

    if there's anyone amongst the site's leadership that would've had a drug phase, i'm guessing it's chris just based off his music journalism.

    i'd be surprised if bill ever got down like that very often. he always seemed like the kind of guy who would have a corona in his hand and watch people doing wild things.
