    Simmons loves solak. Weird the push he gave him to put him in a weekly spot.

    Solak talking about Amon-Ra St. Brown like he is Hunter Renfrow and not a freak athlete was certainly a take. The guy was the #3 overall prospect on Rivals out of high school for a reason.

    would’ve been a much higher draft pick had he not played for Clay Helton. Same goes for Hufanga in SF

    Bill continues to be baffled that more people like the NFL over a league that does this shit

    Bill Simmons trying to get Peyton to divulge what he knows about why Tom Brady left the Patriots and them immediately cutting to commercial was a good bit.

    Just listened to that section where they had Bill on. Good stuff. I never remember to watch the manning cast because I usually forgot monday night football is on but need to start looking to see who they have on as guests.

    Honestly a frustrating watch. Hard to follow a conversation when there’s a commercial every 45 seconds

    gotdamn Sean with a headshot during the rewatchables during minute 77

    "is it stipulated in your spotify contract that you gotta take one stray shot at an actress in every rewatchables episode?"


    :roll:


    have always thought the "buzz's girlfriend" category was weird and unnecessary and just devolved them into replacing a women's role with another actress

    most of the rewatchables categories are very cringe. and you can tell some of the co hosts find it very stupid that they have to decide who "won" a film.

    It goes for anyone who seems to be the weak link of the film. Doesn't have to be a woman. That award is odd though as he is the only one on that podcast that thinks she is that bad and likely why they still havent done Pulp Fiction yet.

    yes, and the point is that he picks a women 99 percent of the time and talks about inserting a hot actress from the era.

    I am confused why Ryan is upset. Because Sal made a throwaway comment that his enjoyment of the story is unrelated to whether it actually occurred?

    Idc if it’s true definitely implies you think it may be a lie, but I can see someone just using that as an expression. I hung on it before getting down to leafs tweet.

    I thought Ryen asked good questions in the Sean Payton interview and Payton was kind of a dick the whole time. Didn't really answer any question, just repeated Ryen's questions back as "answers"

    Yeah, no shit the play sheet changes when Drew Brees gets hurt and Chase Daniel has to throw it a few times

    I agree. Payton was there to promote the tech company he is backing so I am sure he was going through the motions.

    I don't watch any pregame shows, but Peyton isn't very good on TV from what I've seen. Not in a "he's an idiot" way. Doesn't seem like he has the kind of personality that makes him worth much on TV, though.

    Oh btw nfl coaches watch their own team BUT they also watch what the teams with the best offenses are doing as well.

    Thanks, Sean

    I hate current player/coach interviews because they talk like this. This was somehow even worse.

    Tyson Fury may have been doing a bit but I recall him being fairly dismissive of Ryens questions and being a dick, but in a funny way. I imagined that pissing Ryen off and it cracked me up.

    Any coach or player interview on any podcast is a an auto-skip for me. Sounds like the strategy worked again with this Payton interview.
