bill simmons IS bill simmons IN the book of BASKETBALL

i've been subsisting on Le batard's show

whitlock out lol

before the site even launched nice

feel like the lesson when starting one of these celebrity journalist sites like matt taibbi with racket is just start publishing right away even if its just a blog idk how u f around w the org shit for year w/o actually writing anything

so happy to see whitlock fail tbh

was it that deadspin article that flamed him?

seconded

he is bad its true

i think the deadspin may have compounded it some but more just brought to light some of the reasons why it was a fiasco

seems ~awkward~ that he's staying on as a writer

he's more of a loose cannon than simmons ever was, more clearly a nightmare to work with, and would seem to offer less . . . upside

yeah wldnt be surprised to see him bought out of his contract in the near future

The fact that people at ESPN thought Whitlock running this thing was a good idea in the first place suggests to me that even if it does get off the ground, it will be a hateful pile of shit.

i never visit espn home page does it always have deez branded boxes

srsly are there still ppl out there who like this basic ass face pop culture referencing bull crap

ya i think this is p popular actually

modern cracker barrel humor

like im p sure this is my lil brother's entire sense of humor

isis is prob right that our culture is bad and shd be beheaded

isis doesn't behead anymore, had to step up their game to get them clicks

winning social media strat requires constant evolution

isis is prob right that our culture is bad and shd be beheaded

I have been saying this for months, glad a consensus is finally forming

we get the culture we deserve if you will

i deserve better

isis are pretty bad dudes, watch out imo

teach the controversy

like i used to be a pretty big michael vick fan and i'm just saying you're setting yourself up for heartbreak

like what you're thinking is potential is probably where they top out

cf tim hardaway jr

is isis just another meme that will let me down? maybe, only one way to find out

ooh, isis. otoh, star warps. I'm not seeing a great divide.

if Seth McFarlane was the grand wizard of Isis, okay, I can see how they're definitely evil

Steph is Legolas?

Did Steph ever take down an elephant thing hardcore?

lebron "elephant thing" james

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!

simmons to HBO

someone itt def called that

if only jordan could've sourced that blind item

lol solid zing

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

deadspin post sez he'll do video podcasts

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

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
