The Ringer Thread: Complain about everything, yet still consume content

the vibes of psycho fans on reddit is the true indicator of a team's future success

 

my posts in the hawks reddit will probably be read in a courtroom one day while my attorney grimaces

 

this is a fantastic post

 

There’s this new band I like called Fentanyl.

- CR on the Big Picture

 

Bill picking the Lions to win the Super Bowl is not what I need in my life at this time.

 

props to the Lions reddit page for being the most excited about their team this year

 

on the watch, they discussed music and books and CR's music taste is so wild. so much hardcore.

 

We all agree that Bills “research” is scrolling reddit on his iPad while watching melrose place re runs right? And periodically texting Warren Sharp or Steven Ruiz for takes he can steal

 

Mina too. listened to Tice's 2.5 hour AFC preview / over-under pod yesterday and man it was so different

 

she probably just sends him memes and takes she’s already used so he can’t steal them

 

it's been awhile since he's dropped a "i was texting with mina kimes"

 

Lions -Texans would do Katy Perry new album numbers.

 

I’m not quite sure what’s wrong with me but listening to bill and Sal do season over unders for nfc south teams makes me laugh like a baby.

I’m guessing it’s because it means the season is here.

 

Yeah, despite the glaringly obvious idiocy in the takes I completely unironically enjoy their preview pods. And clowning on the NfC South was much fun

 

looking forward to parent corner, although it's not as good with their kids getting older. nothing will ever top Harriso

 

Isnt he the one at Oregon? Wonder how that’s going.

 

i think that's the oldest Archie

 

the degree to which this series is gonna make the biggest dorks in the pro wrestling thread (think about the ground that covers) mad is probably the only real entertainment i'll get out of it. The non 30 for 30 docs that Bill has been a part of have mostly sucked tbh

 

it is implied every time he says how much he loved their first round draft pick despite not knowing any non-QB 1st rounder in April

 

new thread title? lol

 

that is true and maybe that's why i can still listen to him. he's never really trying to win a debate, although he will talk about how he was right about something for years

 

When you hear your first “Vegas zone” of the year

 

growth by BS to say he wishes he had a mulligan with his Steelers playoff pick

 

Bill has completely punted on parent corner at this point

 

He was at telluride movie festival, yes?

 

Guess the lines for lines that have been available for weeks (maybe months)

Yes I will listen

 

Bill clearly knows the lines, loses on purpose, and then cheats enough the rest of the year to win

 

"ELON!!!!!!"

 

My goodness

 

The fact he gets passed off as a ball knower let alone people excuse his chuddiness is an indictment on the ringer and really society as a whole

 

He's only considered a ball knower by those who do not know ball themselves

 

Those people sure post his mock drafts in here a lot

 

We're starved for content in the off season. And now he does this fun thing where he wildly updates his player rankings like every 6 hours so that he can't get pinned to another Killian Hayes at #1 type ranking.

 

Remember when KOC said it was very easy to fast during the month of Ramadan and play nba games every other night?

 

Nick Wright has some genuinely laughable takes, but I enjoy him being one of the few guys to actually call out the clear pro-Boston bias in a lot of the national media.

 

As someone who only read Simmons articles on old ESPN and listened to some early Russillo podcasts, I’m glad I have no idea who this Kevin guy is.

 

Ummm I’ve been calling it out for most of my life

 

doing the lord’s work

 

Ruiz stays trolling

 

So good.

 

I haven’t listened in a long time. But today with Barkley and Bill is talking about player moving if they don’t win and the narrative around it. His lack of partially owning this narrative was driving me crazy.

 

Bryan Curtis has made it almost a recurring segment on the press box pod talking about how Barkley’s “I’m gonna retire” thing is annoying

 

you just know Bill's soul died a little bit when House made that Saquon / Deez Nuts joke
