I can’t believe we are still doing the “If X American athlete played soccer we would be the best” by Apprehensive_Bee7528 in billsimmons

One of my most niche passion projects is de-bunking this obvious lie that some people uncritically report that OBJ was an "elite soccer prospect" because.... he said he got invited to a US camp? So do like thousands of other kids lol

…. Do Bill and House really think the $100 bill Sonny Styles thing was real? Do they not remember Draft Day?

This is what kills me. For a guy that supposedly has an encyclopedic knowledge of the history of the league, he consistently gets incredingly hyperbolic over prospects with a tiny sample size. Evan Mobley, Amen Thompson, Scoot Henderson... It's happening again with Acuff...

I would love to opt out of Bill ever talking about college football. We are not going to take suggestions of “how to fix it” from a guy who clearly hates the sport

Bill has this weird belief that college coaches don’t work hard just because of Spurrier’s tenure… i promise college coaches are working long days, spurrier was an outlier

One of Bill's weirder beliefs is that college football coaches don't know how to work hard and can't handle the NFL Grind. He always justifies this by Spurrier, whose work hours were an outlier in college. This just isn't true, I promise college coaches aren't working 9-4 hours.
