bill simmons IS bill simmons IN the book of BASKETBALL

like i know everyone knows this but the history of media is billionaires throwing away money so they can some kind of ancillary thrill. this is also the history of the arts. we've all seen citizen kane.

im not really seeing where they cast it as conspiracy

you're not tricking me into reading some gawker article goon

who me i just think u might find it... interesting

the size of that writing staff is kinda amazing, like i thought for sure at a minimum he would scale down post grantland esp since he said that whole 'i don't like longform' thing and that this site was meant to be read on yr phone

i wonder how many of his billionaire backers know what he really thinks about public funding of stadiums

a lot of those guys prob love the DH too

esp since he said that whole 'i don't like longform' thing and that this site was meant to be read on yr phone

whoa whoa whoa why we gotta hate on dudes who do nothing but mash baseballs?

gotta watch the good hbo show to find out

i don't believe for a second he actually hates the dh, the dh is totally the kind of cockamamie idea he would come up w/ plus no dh means no ortiz. i don't seem to recall him ever going on about soup before either and he's had plenty of opportunities.

hah those were just the best challenging opinions he cld come up with

his soup thing is the oddest mic drop moment in that ad, I mean I believe my 94 yr old great grandma at the end there felt the same but she just was extremely chill about it.

motherfuckers always talking about salads and sandwiches well GUESS WHAT JABRONIS

i'm a big soup fan so I was like "i'm liiistening..."

i ordered like a whole box of those campbell's bag of lentil soup for millenials off of amazon cuz the grocery stores around here stopped carrying it and now i'm like 'when the fuck am i gonna eat all this soup?'

any given wednesday

wait there's special lentil soup for millenials why did no one tell me about this

its v popular among our demo

damn that article is long

http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/features/bill-simmons-breaks-free-his-900291

damn that article is long

he never really bothered me until that promo. now everything he says and every face he makes annoys me.

bill simmons is good

when he is writing

ill get over it I'm sure ill check the ringer every day

ball semens

hmm i think bill simmons is bad actually, hes extremely fascinated with his own mind to the extent it prevents any sort of verisimilitude or insight in his writing, also his mind is not very interesting

fine I like him again

ben afleck drunk

that affleck stuff was really off putting wtf man

couple unlikable middle age dudes ranting abt boston sports what cld go wrong

why did he say fuck like 60 times

affleck had some pretty serious botox face going on.

this show was start to finish awkward. simmons talking into the camera just doesn't work at all. i never realize how important a skill that is (or even that it was a skill at all) before watching this show. is this a "have it or you dont" think or can it be learned?

plus simmons is just bizarre looking. he's a little better with someone to talk to but i dunno about this show.

many typos, but you get the gist.

it shd be a live show, not taped I think

tho I do welcome ongoing segments that are just like say bad things abt roger goodell and the nfl

he keeps looking up in the monologue segment, like the prompter isn't at eye level

Ermac McCarthy @thatsnotkosher
BILL SIMMONS: [close up on his face] I think the ass should be on the front of the body

this was better than i thought it would be

cant u believe u all watched this bunch a real sickos

bored cos hoops are done leave me alone

didn't watch the ben affleck part cos i don't care about ben affleck

i watched as much of the afleck part as i cld stand (~30 seconds) online

i guess I'll check it out if I'm interested in a guest he has on cos otherwise there's no point

same xp

why did he say fuck like 60 times
