When Bill started talking about what his 13 year old son thought of the Kanye West album, I immediately switched over to something else
also, i watched the pilot for Miami Vice last night on nbc.com (with ads but fewer ads than regular tv) and it was so much better than i thought it'd be. 90 minutes of fun. highly recommend for both the content and for getting to have Somebody's Watching Me stuck in your head
I feel like this pod really answers the question about whether Bill will bother covering anything AEW related now that he has an actual working relationship with WWE. You just had a weekend where AEW debuted 3 former WWE stars who all decided to take the AEW offer over what Vince offered them (i'm dubious they actually made an offer to CM Punk but still) and put on a Pay Per View that generated a ton of buzz in the pro wrestling world and Bill only made a 1 second passing remark about Punk being back to Sal during GTL and that was it. I don't like Shoemaker at all when it comes to his wrestling credentials but it's much more relevant content at the moment than the 700th Ben Simmons discussion (especially considering he just forced himself on Russillo's show for this very subject)
I feel like that hockey guy Ryen brought on was like a Ryen variant. Like if he decided to commit to being a hockey guy and stayed in Mass. The guy was a fucking psychopath and Ryen was giddy as a schoolgirl interviewing him. So weird.
Past few podcasts, bill has mentioned that CeeDee Lamb was gonna have a big year because he had a cool montage during Hard Knocks. And he was being totally serious, saying he catches everything. nice dropped pass leading to a TD for Tampa, oof
Also amazing how Sal allows bill to just shit on the Cowboys but doesn’t try to cut Bill down more about his rosy view of the Pats
bill simmons predicts new england to win the super bowl in his pod tonight but I'm sure he's just kidding when ne is 7-6 in a couple of months
Today’s pod was a Tour de Force: -Schrager screaming LET’S GO after they opened with 7 minutes of Kyle Pitts talk - Bill zagging on Matthew Stafford because he listened to Mad Dog and Francesca where they asked how many playoff games do you think Stafford has won. -Bill picks New England to beat Tampa in the Super Bowl, and to do it as the wildcard beating Cleveland, Kansas City and Buffalo on the way. -Schrager trying to convince Bill that the Giants are winning Sunday because there’s a pregame 9/11 tribute.
I mean when you’ve already cashed out like he has all there’s left of to do is buy a bunch of houses in LA, open old 80s boxes of sports cards and make takes on air to pop your group chat
Bill already calling Stevenson, Jones, and Barmore blue chippers is crazier than the NE Super Bowl pick.
almost as crazy as "every QB drafted in the first round will be a success" based on 3 preseason games. Celtics stink. Red Sox imploding. He needs the Pats to be good
NFL national media is full of complete dumbasses and Peter Schraeger is bound and determined to own that block.
last 31 rookies to start in first year, 24 have performed at an below-average level. I am sure all these first rounders will look unreal year 1 thooo!
Hey man those Giants fans are gonna be absolutely raucous as they remember their former coworkers and acquaintances being murdered 20 years ago "Lets go!"
the Pats fans blamed Patricia for losing to the Eagles, they made fun of him as he failed in Detroit, but now that he's back in New England it's "the best coaching staff they've ever had"
Listening now, the whole lead up to Bill picking the Pats to go to the SB and the discussion afterwards was hilarious.
give me 1 share of Bridgewater, 1 share of Burrow, 1 share of Wentz, and the rest of my money as shares in Darnold
Smh Logan “Ben Simmons is the only story that matters in the nba right now”. Is Simmons really a distraction if the whole team knows the situation and he’s as good as gone? Absent trading him and half their team for Dame, he’s basically out of sight out of mind. This storyline sucks.
Bill: I think Buffalo might be overrated Sal: I dunno, it was a weird game. Bills moved the ball in the first half but couldn't score. They stopped Harris and Big Ben, it was just a weird game. Bill: I think either one of Browns or Bills are overrated and I think it is Buffalo. Sal: Maybe. Bill: I mean, if you had to bet the AFC East, who would you choose between Miami, Buffalo and New England. Sal: I'd still choose Buffalo. Bill: I'd take NE. It was a weirdly impressive 17-16 loss.
