    Teenagers gonna teenager. We all looked odd if we look back on it. I find it odd his son was born in LA yet has been forced to be a Pats fan. That's weird to me.

    How mad is russillo about not going on letterman with SVP. 5 minutes of him promising us he didn’t really care years later

    Iirc, he was staying at her house when he first moved to LA. She was out of town and he was taking out the trash, or something where he was in the driveway. Ran into the stalker outside, and asked who he was. Stalker said something like “I’m a friend of Clarissa’s and I’m staying at her house too.” RR asked to see the conversation on his phone that Clarissa ok’d him to stay there and the guy pulled up DM’s showing him DM’ing her and no responses. And RR basically told him to gtfo.

    I’m sure some details are off, or missing. But that was the gist of it.

    Im still confused how a Norm McDonald tribute turned into a “hey remember when you went on Letterman by yourself” conversation. Definitely an odd conversation.

    Correct. Cover 0 is jargon but is honestly one of the most basic things to know for someone who isn’t just a casual fan.

    Also I assume the irony was lost on him going on some weird meritocracy rant and following it up with DANNY KANELL as the guest

    Before I forget, Kanell suggested that some kid who proposed to his girlfriend, and flew his and her families in for it, after they lost to Jacksonville State should have been thinking more about winning the game than planning the proposal. The kid was some second string lineman. Kanell was serious about this.

    Lol Russillo in the same pod says he’s been watching sports since he’s 7 so hopefully he knows some shit based on all that exposure.

    Also, he admits he doesn’t understand d schemes the way kanell would see them. RR isn’t reading defenses at the line.

    wtf are ppl like he and Simmons doing if not understanding specifics of the game? “Well look at his body language. Is he an alpha?”

    Is this news to you? The highest paid people in their profession (Stephen A Smith, Skip Bayless, etc.) definitely do not have an in-depth grasp of any defensive football sets. They get paid to speak about football all day long regardless.

    i think it was already posted in here, but him saying the broadcast was too technical and for people with real football knowledge and then five minutes later saying, "i'm not even sure i know what cover 0 is" was just unbelievable

    on the other hand, his "Cooper Kupp is the 2nd best fantasy WR" take has life

    do we think someone at the ringer will start talking about Brady and his obvious steroid/enhancement usage? normal NFL media never will because the NFL keeps a tight leash on all of its media partners. but the way Bonds was treated compared to Brady is insane.

    Bill completely undervaluing the Ravens beating KC was very predictable. He is so mad they didn’t start 0-2, so he could brag about his preseason “the Ravens aren’t good” take.
