    hope House tells Bill to go fuck himself if he brags about anything Boston related 10 seconds after congratulating him on the Nats win

    “Mallory as a Boston hater did this Nats team remind you of those Boston teams that won the WS...”. Um what?

    I know he’s known for bringing everything back to Boston sports, but wow, that was a stretch even for him.

    Bill is still questioning why the Steelers didn’t lottery protect their first in the Minkah Fitzpatrick trade.

    Yeah. You can make it a second round if you win x number of games or whatever. I don’t think you can position protect it like the NBA.

    Kyle lacks any kind of confidence or humor when he makes offhand comments on simmons pod. Surprised he put together those coherent sentences.

    the Book of Basketball sounds a lot dumber now that it has a rap intro from a 12 year old boy and Bill puts on his "telling stories around the camp fire" voice to talk about his corny Gladwell-esque "Secret"

    So far I liked the Steve Kerr pod and I’ve listened to half of a steph and it’s great.

    Intro song is ass but it’s easy enough to skip over it

    No idea who Cillizza is.

    0% chance I listen to Rusillo and fucking Cliizza. I’d rather stick my head in a toaster.

    And I have no idea why Gus Johnson brokering a tenuous peace between Bill and Isaiah Thomas at a topless Vegas pool makes me laugh so much but it does.

    Most of their staff didn’t go to big time sports schools is my guess. Sucks because there is lots of good college coverage they use for content.

    i imagine nba provides the majority of their fan interactions/downloads/etc so they're leaning more into it as it also is a growing industry

    i dunno the numbers but its hard to argue against the cultural impact NBA has probably never being higher so imagine in the search for eyes its a valuable bet if you're running a sports media company
