didn't watch the ben affleck part cos i don't care about ben affleck
― moistest hoist (Spottie), Thursday, 23 June 2016 15:56 (seven years ago) link
i watched as much of the afleck part as i cld stand (~30 seconds) online
― lag∞n, Thursday, 23 June 2016 16:03 (seven years ago) link
i guess I'll check it out if I'm interested in a guest he has on cos otherwise there's no point

i didn't mind this but it seems like.... such a waste given everything you can do on HBO. it was basically no different than the stuff simmons was doing with jalen for grantland's youtube channel.
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 23 June 2016 16:20 (seven years ago) link
finally watched this, it was...fine?
letting affleck rant is def a trainwreck but also perversely fascinating to watch him go boston-bro on 100 thousand trillion

its more of a celeb sin to have a puffy face of that degree
― johnny crunch, Tuesday, 28 June 2016 11:25 (seven years ago) link
i caught a few minutes of this in passing the other night, felt like an hbo talk show, like costas' thing. i thought it worked better as tv than the grantland bball hour did. i've watched better things on hbo, i've watched worse things on hbo.

cuban is really refreshing to hear interviewed and in convo imo
― johnny crunch, Friday, 1 July 2016 02:43 (seven years ago) link
yeah not a huge fan of either guy but the cubes/gladwell segment could have gone on for another 20 minutes and i would have been good. basically i'll check this out a day or two after it airs depending on the guests.
― call all destroyer, Friday, 1 July 2016 03:26 (seven years ago) link
i walked thru a room showing cuban and gladwell and sped up my walking. caught hader and it was fun (fucking died at the deadline story) but it was mostly 'hey tell that story you told on the podcast that one time'. fun stuff but nothing new. also ever since it was pointed out i can't get past how he looks like ellen. it's like when someone pointed out fennel tastes like licorice, it took a while before i could eat spaghetti again.

otm ive def heard that lorne/serial killer bit but it is still hilarious and I condone pushing it to this larger audience

This show is very bad.

i couldnt believe he did a whole segment on ufc
― johnny crunch, Tuesday, 26 July 2016 00:48 (seven years ago) link
Just like most things like this I'll pay attention a couple times every few months when he has someone interesting on.

Can they cancel The Ringer while they're at it? That site has published maybe two good articles so far.

The Ringer has had several pretty good pieces, but they've all been too short, and they get punched down off the front age because shitty boring sports takes need more space.
It's nerds versus jocks. At Grantland the nerds usually won.

I feel like I can feel bill getting squirmy and needing to interject when a celeb tells a longer story or anecdote (cait jenner, Jonah hill), but to his credit, he doesn't
otoh its p embarrassing his trying to relate to ricky Williams and seth rogen abt smoking weed by a story where he got hi and went to see Austin powers 3

Still hard to believe KD is on the Warriors with the Steph and Klay. I bet he's feeling happy, relaxed and excited.

Last week had worse ratings than two different airings of Caddyshack on the Golf Channel. Barely beat WEEDIQUETTE on Vice.
