    So it’s million dollars picks but he can just fake bet whatever he wants to chase losses I guess?

    Exactly, and then he brags about being in the black at the end of the year. The worst was one year when the Pats were still at their peak and he was down about as much as he is this year and just bet 5 million on the Pats moneyline over a double digit underdog

    Take your pick, will we get:

    A. "We'll get to that in a minute, but I wanna talk about____" kick the can deflection

    or

    B. "I already knew this team wasn't gonna win anything this year" cope deflection

    I still think that team is okay at best on offense and their coach sucks, but this is basically how he played at oregon. He'd have stretches where he seemed unstoppable, and then he wouldn't do anything for 2 quarters

    bill's white lotus takes were laugh out loud bad the entire season. Loved Joana toeing the company line choosing when to correct him. also loved how he changed from "hooker" to "sex worker" halfway through the season. Real growth from boomer bill :laugh:

    The best part of the recaps was that Bill could not figure out that Jack was fucking his uncle even after Bill and his daughter did a frame-by-frame breakdown of the scene(wtf?!?!).

    He must have edited that part out by now it made him look so bad.

    Ringer is pushing too much Solak. On Russillo podcast, BS Pod, and like 3 NFL pods a week. It is too much.

    He just said the Bills had to play a "one possession game with the Titans, Chiefs, Dolphins" when saying the Bengals are more trustworthy.

    Bills beat Titans 41-7.

    Bengals beat the Chiefs by one score, just like the Bills.

    I had to fast forward through this. Solak doesn’t have the “football expert” resume for me to sit and listen to him talk about film and scheme breakdown. This ain’t amateur hour.

    I go straight to Ryen talking about being worthless in relationships for the 100th time. Bona fides confirmed!

    I think the football media people have turned NFL fans against Herbert and it doesn't really have to do with anything he's actually doing. They needed offseason content and people are bored of hearing how good Mahomes and Allen are, so let's write some stuff that puts Herbert in that group

    There's also credibility to be gained if you predict something and it happens

    gonna disagree on solak

    his voice and level of excitement gets annoying but he knows his shit when it comes to scheme and design and he does a good job explaining why certain matchups work or don't

    he called the tua struggles vs sf dead on the nose the week before and laid out the gameplan Ryans was gonna use to a T to try and slow McDaniels down

    not gonna hate on a guy because he mixed up the Titans and Lions one time on an hour long podcast

    he makes gaffs all the time, but that's fine. It happens.

    But I am not going to give him a pass on how often he fucking yells at the top of his lungs for no reason.

    I listened to Bill's pod with Wickersham today, and it is obvious that Bill has already decided he wants Bill O'Brien back with the Pats to replace Belichick. He brought him up multiple times as a HC as the guy who could be HC with Brady coming back.

    Craig did a nice job with CR and Bill on the Mission Impossible pod. Good for him.

    They mentioned Man from UNCLE on the episode and it’s on HBO Max now. Idk if I’m on an island but that movie is really damn rewatchable.

    “The Colts put up his postgame speech. I think I’m in on Jeff Saturday. He gave this incredible speech, like he’s a leader of men he’s doing the ‘we were the tougher team today’ and he was doing the whole thing and I’m like ‘you’re right’” -Bill on 11/14/22

    Solak: This Saturday thing is amazing to me bc when they won that game against the Raiders and like Matt Ryan played pretty well in that game and the defense had a nice performance and the Raiders were terrible, everybody was like “Wow. Jeff Saturday. Jim Irsay knew”

    Bill: Not everybody. People like us were not like that we were like ‘hold on, hold your horses’ -BS Pod 12/28/22
