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

and this still bugs me. so forced. HEY IM ON HBO NOW

fuckin hbo bro!

just saw a billboard for this. lmao at "the sport of conversation". sounds like an alan partridge quote.

alltime unappealing tagline

i think it might actually be an alan partridge line

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.

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

yea felt a lil manufactured to get buzz/go viral

its more of a celeb sin to have a puffy face of that degree

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.

wish it was barkley's show instead

that dude already gets so much leeway to be a dickhead as it is

cuban is really refreshing to hear interviewed and in convo imo

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.

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.
