Ceruti telling a great story on the latest Russillo pod where Russillo called him while ceruti was on a date and wanted to tip him off about a possible magic trade. And it was Valentine’s Day. Russillo had no idea it was Valentine’s Day. And the trade didn’t even end up happening.
Lmao called him like 2-3x Russillo: I had no idea but i did think it was weird there were so many people out that night downtown
seeing the rookie TCU for the Chargers catching hate on Twitter tonight is funny considering Bill was talking him up last night and said he had ten catches against KC (he has 7 catches total on the season)
bill + sal aren't exactly football intellectuals but i will give them credit for their cleveland/san fran observation before the niners played today re: letdown games and the body-blow theory
Big picture pods are newer for my rotation. Kinda glad I can go back to that catalogue and catch up. I must’ve gotten unlucky with the first couple I listened to. 3/4 through their lawyer movie draft and surprised none of them picked Mickey Haller from Lincoln Lawyer as their counsel.
somehow the pre-emptive talk about how much people hate World Series ratings talk has become more annoying than the actual ratings discussion itself. Which seems to be the only way Bill mentions the baseball over the next week and beyond
Bill is at the "getting mad at gambling" for not being able to accurately guess lines or bet football
Why did Lombardi note that the Titans gm is a black dude? Maybe I wasn't paying attention but that came out of nowhere
the worst part of Bill's football talk by far is his need to list off the remaining schedules of any team he's talking about
you have a time stamp on this? i had the pod on last night but sort of tuned out the lombardi segment because i can't stand that guy
hes a boomer theres a running joke on tiktok that boomers tell you the race and sexual orientation of everyone in any story they tell regardless of whether it matters to the story
35 minute mark talking about trading a 3rd and not being a big deal since they had an extra pick because or Ran Carthan.
I don't remember exactly but they were talking about the Titans and compensatory picks and I hear something like "Ran Carthon, who is an African-American"
It’s because the pick they traded for Chase young was a compensatory pick. If you lose an African American exec to another team you get a compensatory pick. They lost Ran Carthon to the Titans, so he was noting where the pick came from. https://www.usatoday.com/story/spor...mp-picks-for-diverse-rewards-policy/51220551/
That makes sense. I kind of start to tune out any time bill starts talking about nfl cap stuff or picks
I think Bill might have actually made a decent joke? He said he's ready to "wave the white towell" on the Steelers
Today's an all-timer. BS in his blooming dumpflower stage and jizzing Celtic pollen all over the mic. Love it.
I’m proud of bill for being brave enough to ask the question after four games, “is this Celtics starting five the best of the century?” Some wouldn’t be so bold.
Barely beating the Knicks, then killing a bad wizards team, and beating a winless Heat. idk man time to start taking ring sizes.
Boston's going to be a great team unless (until?) Porzingis and Horford are injured i don't think anyone questions their lineup or rotations. the question is whether the guy who's played 60+ games just once since '16-'17 can stay healthy.
Absolutely. Tatum also shrank for 3 quarters in game 5(6?) and a better team than Philly would’ve ended that series. The off season dialogue wouldn’t be is he an mvp, but wow wth in crunch time.
I don’t know if you heard but not only is Porzingis approaching the human limit for height, but Tatum is now a colossus. The Celtics will be running out a team of Monstars by midseason.
the way Bill is gonna overrate that in-season tournament after the Celtics win it is gonna be wild, Derrick White is gonna leapfrog Harden and CP3 in his pyramid "I mean I get that it's not like a real ring, but it's gotta be what...a 1/4 of a ring right?"
They fucked up the categories so badly on the finches draft I turned it off because the conversation was messy convoluted.
keep this in mind when Bill talks about "Sal, I watched every game today" and how he's in the 99% of football viewers
Celtics best starting 5 of the century. My goodness, he's gonna need to be Baker Acted if they collapse down the stretch. Also love that he didn't even mention half of the Spurs teams from the early 2000s, with Robinson, Duncan, Manu, Parker, etc.
