Ok i started this back up while on the treadmill and got to the part where Bill and Jackie rehashes the Isaiah Thomas / Kyrie trade for the umpteenth time.
Had no idea Garnett and Duncan both got swindled out of millions by the same game. Said KG lost $77 million.
Ya galaxy brain super crazy all of that paper trail made things more secure. e: top comment on the tweet is right. Cain doesn’t endorse it. He’s just a handjob normalizing it by reporting it as normal.
Cain was this guy before he got to ESPN, right? It wasn't a secret. Russillo working with Cain as much as he did said more about Russillo (if anyone had any doubts where he stood politically after the Kanell era) than it did Cain. At least, that's how I felt at the time they were doing the show.
I love how Bill was back in on the Pats after they beat the Ravens. Then petulant Bill made Sal cross off the Pats after they lost to the Texans. Then he was talking to Shazier about a potential Steelers (2 seed) vs Pats (7 seed) playoff game on today's pod due to their win over Arizona.
Shazier seems like a nice guy but the way he was picking games was brutal. "Las Vegas seems up and down and since they were down last week I think they'll be up this week" wow brilliant insight
Listening to the Chris Paul pod russillo could not have sounded less interested in bill's wrestling analogy
that Arizona-Miami super bowl pick not looking so hot now also Damien Harris - top 3 running back. Even DBL wouldn't have a take that bad.
Some Bama fan posted a tweet somewhere on here the other day of PFF having Harris as the highest-rated RB in the league or something like that. Didn't listen to the pod, but guarantee that's where he got it.
Better than Dalvin Cook. And followed it up with the patented “and you know I’ll say if a Pats player isn’t that good...”
Pats season is working out perfectly. They will finish 8-8 or 9-7, miss the playoffs, and end up with a draft pick outside of the top 15
If Bill really thinks Harris is a top 3 RB in the league, shouldn't he be upset at Belichick since Harris is only averaging 14 touches per game for a bottom third offense?
I get a lot the Bill hate, what I have never gotten is the hate for acting like any other fan in the universe. He doesnt try to act like hes not a fan.
simmons being a big homer is part of the fun that way, i get even more enjoyment from newly signed celtic gordon hayward breaking his leg or kyrie going crazy or kemba having a lame knee forever now or boston trading mookie etc etc without simmons, i wouldn't care nearly as much about any of the above
Also been paying attention to him for like 20 years at this point I haven’t missed a guess the lines podcast since they started doing it
Celemo The Program Rewatcheables came out this morning with Bill, Russillo and Kyle Brandt. This has potential to be an all-timer. One of my favorite movies.
Chris Vernon thinking Rockets fans have some unassailable loyalty to James Harden is very weird. I’ve wanted him gone since he sat on the bench and watched his teammates beat the clippers.
Tillman and his antics have been ever present for basically my whole life. I cant stand him either so there really isn’t a good outcome unless the league seizes the team and forces a Harden for Brandon Ingram trade.
Vernon has the kind of voice that annoys me enough to disagree with everything he says, even when he's right. I tried getting into the mismatch stuff and I just couldn't because of him.
It's absolutely incredible the league sold to Tilman. Weren't there even competing offered that were higher, but Alexander wanted to sell to a local?
I like when he has strong opinions about the NFL draft every year when he has said countless times that he doesn't like college football and he doesn't watch it
Did he ever work for Simmons or is he just casually making an industry joke about what someone from a company he didn’t work for said?
He went from the Ringer to Yahoo Sports, he does digital and producing. He’s also on my favorite NBA digital show Dunk Bait.
A lot of these people dont seem to understand how shortsighted it is to publicly burn bridges out of spite.
about 20 minutes in, them joking about Michigan counting their win against ESU as a real victory bit got me good
It's like bashing a former employer in a job interview. Even if it's true, it kind of just makes you look bad unless the grievance is something like when Simmons told that dude that he shouldn't get a second job because it would make Simmons' company look bad
The Program doesn't seem like the kind of movie Bill would think of as rewatchable. Seems like the kind of movie Bill would pretend to like so that Russillo would think he's cool.
