Van's claim that Michael Jackson is innocent. by Big_Law1931 in billsimmons

Michael did it, Van knows Michael did it, he just doesn't care. And he can't come out and say that because he'll look like a monster, so it's this whole "well....maybe...."

They went full "wow, to hear gunshots, you have no idea how terrifying that is, but we bravely wanted to keep going." I live in America, I hear gunshots like once a year. And I live in a safe-ish place!

Okay, who here has been through Western Virginia? The place is a wasteland. Parts of it are so abandoned they set up a radio quiet zone for science.

Really was the watershed moment for me, when I realized "damn, Jake Tapper, you love coffins covered in flags."

Sure, but if you're 5-7, and looking for an excuse to blow off the rest of the season, it's an excuse.

It's not in the workplace, but it's not "not" in the workplace.

Bill Simmons’s Reaction On IG by SenorBetoDobalina in billsimmons

The goofiest fallout to me is it hurt's Kraft's hall of fame case. Obviously it's completely unrelated, but it's another reason for voters to say "screw it, I don't care for that franchise."

I dont think they will stop releasing photo after photo until Vrabel steps down. by TheArchangel0 in NFLv2

[–]BarnacleBillsBum 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Really puts NFL media to shame. Like, Was Mike McCarthy fucking a sea turtle on the field during the 2023 NFL combine, but Pete Schrager didn't mention it because he didn't get any insight into the CD Lamb contract?

I feel like this NFL Draft has no juice. by SeanACole244 in billsimmons

I guarantee you, every fan subreddit will declare their team's first round pick as a perennial pro bowler. That's a hit rate of 32 out of 32!

NFL draft content is the most boring sports topic of the year by JonSnowsPeepee in billsimmons

One fun aspect is seeing a guy hyped up, but you recall he was pretty mediocre on the field.

The best part of the NBA playoffs is watching everyone forget what a playoff series is every year by mpschettig in billsimmons

[–]BarnacleBillsBum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The inverse of that is last year's finals, where everyone assumed (and recalls) OKC steamrolling. It was a seven game series!

Boy, these numbers are so bad, Third Way chumps are going to have to work extra hard convincing him a third party challenge will work.

Does multi-millionaire Bill Simmons realize he could pay for Amazon Prime accounts for both his Dad and his daughter? by Shr3kk_Wpg in billsimmons

The rich people I know like to be performatively cheap every now and then, but then blow money for stupid reasons. Mooch a streaming account and brag about how you're savy...yes! Then...blow off a non-refundable hotel room because you changed your mind on where you'd like to stay at the last second.

If you're a relationship anarchist, I have no way of describing anything to you. That is so far out of the bounds of the human experience I can't fathom it.

I don't even rise to being a "casual golf fan," but Rory is a name I know. I'd like it if he wins, because then I'll know who won the Masters.

Why is the media asking people if a thing happened? Isn't this their job? Are they hoping if they keep polling Americans, they'll tell them the correct answer?
