bill simmons IS bill simmons IN the book of BASKETBALL

the police dog tweet no longer exists btw

lol

his anti-analytics rant has gotten a lot of attention, and it is very dumb, but moreso he just is a condescending prick the entire time, basically taking offense to every question being asked

he seems like someone who might have a hard time being happy

Got runs from taco bell though

The pats lost the SB and his career peaked half a decade ago of course he’s salty

lol wrong dude

I’m not wrong though

nah simmons is good

I felt like he kinda got yanked around in this interview and chickened out in a few spots

agree

though he did kind of call KD out a couple of times for being a grump

bill could have easily called/educated him on EFG% point. ive liked the KD interviews prior to this one but he really was an ass here. seemed like he took a contrarian stance on basically every question before even thinking about what was stated. im surprised that manager dude who was part of the interviews let this one out (he kinda seems like an ass too tho tbf).

agree w/y'all but I'm trying to have some sympathy for KD. he's been criticized relentlessly since deciding to go to GSW, plus seems to spend a fair bit of time on social media. idk seems bad for his psyche, one which prob had grumpish tendencies already.

a man who has never heard of steampunk or latchkey kids

can't fault him for the first one

DS just can’t leave Bill alone.

it was more fun to hear jeff goldblum poke fun at how lame and shallow bill's movie opinions are a few months ago.

fun fun. anyway, those chants are very bad. I started listening to his podcasts, and I think I've finally reached simmons saturation. just hearing his voice bothers me now. and then his non-writer friend crew podcasts are also so terrible. it all gives me the feeling that I'm eating at a whalburgers.

i feel so bad for whoever had to research that piece

seems like a passion project by david roth, who is a great writer btw

Of course there would be a chant using WNBA as an insult.

“since you’re a girl I’ll walk you thru this”

yeah roth is cool and simmons as anyone with a brain knows is good, seems like he was just having fun with the piece

ftr i like simmons fine but he’s not someone where i’d really relish digging thru the archives.

some ppl take fart sniffing as a way of life and who am i to judge

was listening to the dave chang podcast ... chang is like absurdly deferential to simmons, like simmons is his idol or somethin'... also i learned that rian johnson and karina longworth are a couple

yeah, chang gives me the same grown up boss baby vibes I get from simmons. he is certainly a better food podcast host than "joe house", though.

What did Jeff Goldblum say to him? I couldn't make it through that pod. That deadspin article is very funny.

Simmons kept asking variations of "you were in X movie. X was huge. What was that like?" and goldblum kept pointing it out to him instead of just telling a story about X movie.

Goldblum told him he sounds like "a producer" and indicated that they were poorly formed interview questions.

lolll

with nacho cheese and spicy ranch?

lmao that's pretty good

Haralabos Voulgaris comes across as super shady. Deadspin or someone similar should write a profile of this dude. Everything online is personal myth making bullshit.

lol he's a lifelong gambler, they are a shady bunch. I...know a lot of gamblers and haralabob comes across as pretty thoughtful and well-adjusted to me

looking forward to this pod, hopefully simmons lets him talk

if you go back like 5 years you can find pods with bob talking about his life. he grew up poor in canada, did some hustling, and started making serious money when he found some patterns in nba games. he seems like a really boring dude tbh but i like listening to him talk about ball.

boring maybe but seems like a chill guy. I would be his friend

to get courtside seats obv

it's cute how much he loves his little elderly dog

lol this pod is heated, good stuff

it has some good writers.

theyve definitely found a groove

It's an everyday read now and not just the occasional link.
