The Ringer Thread: Complain about everything, yet still consume content

really hoping we get to hear bill getting psyched for the celtics to take sharife cooper only to have them take the random french dude instead on the final part of the draft pod tomorrow

 

Bill thinks retread is pronounced "retreed"

 

Well, I can’t say I’m shocked

 

He's just asking questions, guys. He's definitely not actually an idiot

 

Iirc gladwell did some kind of propaganda on behalf of tobacco companies in the 90s

 

He's denied it was actually paid lobbyist work, but he wrote an article in the early 90s about how banning cigarettes would bankrupt social security and Medicare

 

I dunno guys I thought it was pretty profound when he said that the more you do things the better you get at them over time

 

What if you make decisions but fast?

 

An arbitrary perfectly round number as the measuring stick of greatness seems pretty scientific if I’m honest.

 

Didn't he also wrote a book about how actually it might be an advantage to grow up poor?

 

attacking his dyslexia? is there no bottom to what the left will do

 

Well if he was poor he would’ve bootstrapped it

 

I wish I knew as much about any topic as much as Russillo thinks he knows about basketball

 

Did you know that he does his own scouting reports for the nba draft? I don't think people would have guessed he does since he never mentions it

 

You know I stay up late to actually watch these PAC12 games. Like I am actually watching these guys.

 

You could tell from the Dan Patrick interview that he’s still bitter about never getting to be an NBA analyst for ESPN, because he never played, coached, or wrote about it.

 

Everybody go get vaccinated so we can protect our loved ones help Bill feel better karma at blackjack tables in Vegas. What a whiny rant.

 

It was good advice from Dan though.

 

Bill thinks about Marcus Smart more than possibly anyone in America

 

Which is why I lean toward him having insights they really wanna trade him/tatum and brown hate playing with him.

 

Alright, who here as seen the movie Victory more than once?

 

I’ll be honest I’ve never heard of it

 

It’s unfortunate I dislike tatum due to Simmons since everyone in the league loves him, he’s maybe the hardest worker (ever?), and is generally fun to watch.

 

not in it's entirety, I do remember it was always on HBO one summer back when I was a kid

 

its actually kinda good

 

It’s good but I’ve only seen at once.

 

Bill asking “are white guys back?” Was cringey

 

Lmao conspiracy bill about the Celtics FA moves.

 

How on earth does Bill forget to turn his mic on so often?

 

Dyslexia

 

Not as egregious as usual but Bill called Al-farouq Aminu "El Aminu"

 

War Grundle will surely carry some water here

 

Somehow I didn’t listen long enough to hear the “Tatum has Allen Iverson level street cred” quote from Jackie

 

I don’t listen to Bill as much as most of you do so I’m no help here.

 

Has any Duke guy ever had any street cred at all

 

Josh McRoberts

 

This guy?

 

Grant Hill

 

the russillo/sando thing about nfl quarterbacks was solid background listening today. i feel like both of them know stuff off the record about russell wilson being a dick and they were both seeing if the other would say something about it

 

Will give it a listen tomorrow.

 

Well ya. It is Mays

 

Couldn’t figure out what he was trying to say in the Fight Club pod until I looked up the article, and realized that he pronounces “metastasized” as “meta-tas-tized”

 

Great job by them!

stfu bill

 

some grim fan fic about Bill gambling with a mask on, going on tilt and then going a 3 day coke bender where he inverts the basketball pyramid where only Jason Tatum and an eye of Obelisk can be seen
