simmons nursed a fantasy of boogie coming to the celtics for awhile but he said on some recent pod that he'd given up it actually happening. he said it really sad also as if it had once been a real possibility but something had actually happened and now it wasn't instead of just simmons fantasized over it for so long that his tweets not somehow making it come to be made him lose faith in god.

His new podcast has been pretty good. I also enjoyed that GQ interview.

@BillSimmonsI love how @espn just takes 4 large paragraphs of content from my podcast without actually linking to it. twitter.com/espn/status/67…

― lag∞n, Wednesday, 17 February 2016 19:39 (eight years ago) link

― k3vin k., Wednesday, 17 February 2016 20:26 (eight years ago) link
The Ringer will be "the exclusive home to all of Simmons' written material," according to his spokesman, while HBO will be his home on TV.
doesnt seem like theres an actual show yet
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 17 February 2016 20:30 (eight years ago) link
was gonna say this should be called the stinger but realized basically any rhyming word is a better name
― Roberto Spiralli, Wednesday, 17 February 2016 20:31 (eight years ago) link
yeah show is this summer. the ringer is not a great name.
― balls, Wednesday, 17 February 2016 21:01 (eight years ago) link

lol this guy
Bill Simmons: I’m glad you mentioned that. You know why I can’t have Brian Windhorst on? Because ESPN won’t let anyone from ESPN come on my podcast, which is fine, but it’s just laying down the ground rules for what is going to unfold over the next few years. It could have been friendly, and it’s not going to be friendly.
Joe House: It’s already unfriendly.
BS: It’s going to be more unfriendly.
JH: I’m excited to see how unfriendly it can get.
BS: Just wait until the Ringer hires a public editor for ESPN, that writes for the Ringer. That’s going to get very unfriendly.

this promo prompts me to imagine simmons saying "I like soup" in the voice of ralph wiggum

like, i get it when there's really nothing left for him to do other than have a tv show but he's so bad on camera
― call all destroyer, Monday, 16 May 2016 17:53 (seven years ago) link
he cld still be an extremely popular writer but he doesnt want to i guess
― lag∞n, Monday, 16 May 2016 17:54 (seven years ago) link
which i mean sure who wldnt rather be on tv but like if thats not really what youre good at
― lag∞n, Monday, 16 May 2016 17:55 (seven years ago) link
but on the other hand hbo seems to have no problem carrying cheap studio sports shows that no one watches for years so its prob perfect for him
― lag∞n, Monday, 16 May 2016 17:56 (seven years ago) link
yeah of course he's just overambitious and is reaching further with this venture, like his new site will cover topics he's totally out of his depth on like tech and politics and he needs to conquer a new medium so he has to get a show, idk maybe it will all be popular enough but this promo didn't even have the production values of the grantland nba previews with jalen.
― call all destroyer, Monday, 16 May 2016 17:57 (seven years ago) link
his destiny is prob as a podcaster
