I'm shocked he lasted as long as he did there. He was there from the beginning of the site, if I'm not mistaken. KOC was hired to be their top NBA guy, but Bill seemingly never even considered trying to elevate his status in the industry on his stuff. And I don't think he was wrong because KOC is really weird and never really any good at stuff. But it's still kind of weird that KOC lasted as long as he did there, and I'm assuming it must have only been because his Mismatch pod must have done reasonably well. Russillo would shit on his takes somewhat often back when I listened more regarding the draft or other general analysis of the league. Especially after the Killian Hayes stuff.
Mahoney is smart but he's as bad as House when it comes to going on Bill's pods and just agreeing with everything he says.
I think I heard on pit that burlap has win like 15/16 or something. I don’t really watch the nfl but it seems like if you pretend to then prob don’t have your mega prediction as them winning
KOC sucks etc etc but i appreciate a draft analyst guy that will rank independently of consensus. i don't really care if draft guys end up being wrong; everyone is wrong. think KOC lost some of this after the killian hayes jokes but he was still better than many others imo.
I would be more in line with this take if he didn't drastically shift his rankings every week for months leading up to the draft. This year's draft was ridiculous with him jumping guys all over the top 15 for two months.
i like that even more, at least for this draft it's a crapshoot! i changed my preference any time i watched a highlight clip.
Bill is acting like he is joking but you can tell he really believes that the Pats can make the playoffs. He went from calling them the worst team in the league to teasing a trip to the playoffs because they won a single game.
say what you will about mike lombardi, but i defy you to name another nfl content producer brave enough to ask the hard hitting questions of the day, like what would bill walsh or al davis do
I briefly heard some of the fenessy and even he was slobbing Bill/the patriots. The ppl who know Bill best kiss his ass hardest.
Lombardi is the most annoying archetype of the former coaches/execs who get into media. Guy who failed miserably at running multiple organizations but then gets into media and acts like this shit is super easy and basically just calls everyone stupid non stop. Like none of us have access to Google to look up his resume.
One of the small annoying things about Bill is how he brings up a player under performing or over performing, and ties it to fantasy football. Specially his own league. Instead of using AAV or ADP like everyone else, he just says “player X was available for like $5”. Which means nothing
who knows, you know what’s really zany? His daughter uses his credit card to get Starbucks and DoorDash!
overall thought the episode was good, Subdued Shea is pretty underrated. the Lovejoy thing was mildly annoying until CR finally called it out. the Manning-cast Belichick bit breaking down the Red Circle shootout was pretty funny to me
Billy...I must have missed when Rafael Devers became a modern day Ted Williams. How do you walk him with the bases empty? I just don't get it. The yankees of my youth would have never been this soft.
Don’t have kids but absolutely agree with Sal. Don’t let a 7 year old decide what you, as adult, eats for one of your square meals
I forgot already. Did bill buy in for a week with the Red Sox after saying he wouldn’t watch all year? Him not acting like baseball exists is one of his firm viewpoints as content. But you know if Boston was good, he’d be having a guest on to talk about them.
Call up Derek Thompson and let conspiracy bill cook on the future of everything imo. Especially after Big Der put out that asinine tweet criticize the scientific American or whatever for endorsing Kamala.
I should know better than to get triggered but the fact Steven Ruiz gets paid money for his QB rankings is the biggest joke in sports journalism
He thinks Olympic medals should be different sizes based on sport. Like basketball teams should get bigger gold medals than relay swimming gold medals.
At least they run a pretty good NFL program for you to watch. Some of those shows are a bit like how the AFL Footy show used to be like. You get some cranky old farts complaining about everything and you get the younger ones telling them to stfu most of the time. Pick your shows to watch.
