    It’s gonna be the total opposite of that, he’s gonna make fun of how little LeBron actually owns a la Magic with the Dodgers and act indignant that it’s a headline.

    “And once again you have the LeBron Media Mafia talking about (weird impression voice) ‘LeBron just became a Red Sox owner!’ when in reality he owns as much of the Red Sox as Nephew Kyle does of GameStop. Stop it! Pshhh, owner, gimme a break”

    he 100% thinks Pats are having a non-Cam QB start week 1 and they will make it to the AFC Championship.

    Glad Bill and Ryen talked all about Hagler’s career on Ryen’s pod. Such a great fighter. Sent me down a rabbit hole on YouTube.

    it was 100% this. Though he did say he’s super jealous and said he’d be the worlds worst minority owner.

    Bill decided to go with the “Lebron is not actual an owner” angle which is not unsurprising.

    I sort of put ringer pods on the sideline for a minute. This thread is kind of my litmus test for if I download and listen. Definitely in for some indignant Bill corner.

    Honestly it was mostly Bill talking about how he would be trying to coach the team

    Someone needs to create a podcast word scraper tool for a lot of accountability reasons in society but most importantly so we can track Bill’s wildly volatile MVP takes, particularly related to Lebron and Giannis.

    imagine having a buddy who only wants to talk MVP whenever the NFL or NBA comes up and how weird they would come off IRL, it's pretty much the only way Bill engages in sports anymore, hell he seemingly wrote off MLB for good once Mike Trout won the MVP over Mookie

    And every time that conversation is prefaced by making fun of traditional media for caring about the mvp.

    Lol at Jackie Mac saying Dwight Howard deserves all of the credit for Lebron saving his career last year. She is just the worst at times.

    Bill's pod today:

    Announce a new "All New York Sports Podcast"

    and then opens with 5 minutes about the Red Sox and why he is excited for this season, and why their over under of 75.5 is ridiculous.
