instead of killing grantland they should evolve it into an algorithm tumblr that grabs headlines from ESPN and accompanies them with random pop culture images. blackhawks win the stanley cup + picture of yogi and the gang!

hosting a weekly show. wonder if there will be any outlet for writing or pods.

i'm guessing zach lowe will be contractually barred from appearing, which would be sad

simmons getting an irrelevant weekly hbo show and never writing again is the perfect slow death, rip
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 22 July 2015 16:28 (eight years ago) link
yeah i have an early an unfounded fear that the show will go heavy on celeb-level guests when i really want to hear simmons and stein talk about the nba in february for 75 minutes
― call all destroyer, Wednesday, 22 July 2015 16:29 (eight years ago) link
he should do posts on medium or something in connection to the episode topics, maybe, even longer and with more references, drink the haters' tears
this does give him the ability to actually say whatever the hell he wants, because what does ESPN, for example, have to threaten HBO with? "u can't do hard knocks anymore?"
― slothroprhymes, Wednesday, 22 July 2015 16:34 (eight years ago) link
er, the NFL, not ESPN
heres to hoping he holds a viscous unquenchable grudge against espn

― mookieproof, Wednesday, 22 July 2015 16:38 (eight years ago) link
yeah it would be a shame if he didn't hold an espn grudge
― call all destroyer, Wednesday, 22 July 2015 16:39 (eight years ago) link
im sure he will but just i require it to be extremely public and unrelenting, otherwise he is no use to me

Otm it's so funny that he's basically terrible on TV and that's basically gonna be all he does now
As cad noted all I really want from him is minutia pods in dogs days of the NBA and NFL seasons and maybe another hoops book or two sometime and he's probably gonna basically do the grantland basketball hour with more celeb handjobbery
― juice college (agent hibachi), Thursday, 23 July 2015 18:04 (eight years ago) link
Do hope he has a lifetime public beef w the worldwide leader though, that would be solid entertainment

i guess as part of his contract it says he can still publish a column elsewhere and everyone is assuming he will do so but idk he seems pretty sick of writing
― lag∞n, Thursday, 23 July 2015 18:06 (eight years ago) link
Can't wait for his preview of the NFL season wherein he gives each team a summarizing quote from Carnivale or whatever
Maybe he'll rank all the Dream On babez

Why do we think Simmons is only getting a show? I bet he takes over HBO Sports.
A less likely prediction: HBO bids on NFL or NBA rights.

like as an executive? idk that he wants to do that or like why he'd want to do that

there is an easy overlap w/ their monday night documentaries and him reinventing some 30 for 30 style doc series probably

the leagues all have their own channels now; if they were to go that route there's no need to involve hbo

hbo should be fighting to get saturday night football imo but only for a five year contract
