    "The Celtics were a franchise that lived in the past, Garnett changed all that!" said without a hint of irony as they trot the 08 Celtics out every 6 months for another reunion

    1 title since Ronald Reagan

    Glad he could clarify what every sporting event would be like if it involved Boston

    I’m sure he’ll have some takes on college coaches after watching that game.

    i remember after an OKC game he trashed Billy Donovan and said “is winning college national titles hard? Could I win two?”

    Normies watch Gonzaga and they talk about Timme. But my eye is drawn to Holgrem, the guy who is difficult to look at, because I know basketball.

    Man, a Boston fan asking a UNC fan to catalogue all the heart breaks and hard times they went through, and how it really defined that era of sports.

    A 30 for 30 for sure.

    I listened to The Den of Thieves Rewatchables at the gym today because I recently saw that movie, and Bill was hammering the Devin Booker won’t make the WCF until he’s 35 angle and trashing him bc he didn’t play in the FIBA World Cup. What a strange take that was that he has completely ditched

    Bill ranting about how teams are getting too creative with trades and wants things to be simple like they were when he was younger was certainly a position to take.

    didn’t he bail out of one of the Simmons pods last finals because the Bucks lost? Acted like he had a death in the family

    that dude is an instant skip plus I haven’t seen any of the Oscar nominated movies so this one was an easy delete

    His dumb argument was that there is so much correct Covid information available to people that no one would ever be convinced by Rogan peddling false information since he doesn’t hold himself out as the authority on the matter.

    two notes from the Russillo pod today: (1) He can't stop using the word 'heliocentric' when talking about basketball; and (2) he must hate that Foxworth is script writing for the Aaron Hernandez tv show instead of him
