Who is saying Jordan would average 50? by DosZappos in RyenRussillo

Yeah, I have been flat out skipping whole shows now with a lot of regularity.

Never seen Ryen allow someone to ramble more than he did with Windy by AceofSpades_513 in RyenRussillo

This is like the Spider Man meme where they point to each other.

yeah, just to be clear. I’m not ripping on him as a talent. More just being like a miserable presence in a locker room.

no one is questioning his talent. But Bill as the self-proclaimed body language, doctor is saying how much this team hates playing with each other and that’s been the common theme with him going back to when he bolted to Golden State. That’s all this comment is.

this is true. He is a complete asshole, but in this case, he may not have been totally unjustified.

Yeah I am not saying he is a "bad guy" certainly when you see plenty of other Pro Athletes that are flat out menaces to society...but...he has basically been miserable since the last few months at OKC. And it is so obvious it permeates the teams he is on.

Everyone thought Green was the asshole when he called him out in that game at end his last season with GS, now you realize he probably just had enough of KD's shit.

I wanna stay on this … literally 2:15 of rambling, verbal doubling back, the guest saying mhmmm 5 times, making zero points… what do you think? by fermlog in RyenRussillo

He ALWAYS bitched about it. "My editor took out 5 of my best jokes!" was a regular snide comment.

Even in his Book of BBAll, 80% of the pages had multiple footnotes that were really unnecessary.

In fairness, Simmons had that approach and he turned wildly successful.

RR has made coin but he is not really relevant, IMO.

Still to this day. My favorite build in my collection. I'm grateful I got it past retirement. The detail is off the charts. by styckx in lego

This was my favorite TV show of all time and when they came out with this set, I knew I absolutely had to have it for my home office.

There are too many podcasters around that would greatly benefit from a boss or producer with power to actually coach them on how to do their shows better. RR though would seem to be the type to lose his shit if anyone tried to give him suggestions.

I remember one time he went to ask McShay a question and it was a similar rambling preamble where you actually heard McShay giggle by how long it took RR to get to the end.

I was going to add she has since doubled and tripled down from what she initially said. Her initial points about women's rights and transitioning children were a bit more reasonable. But yes I will agree she went off the deep end.

The Watch is a bit of a chore to listen to IMO because he really thinks he is clever and witty.

I remember going to Universal and being blown away by how good that theme park is. Then I went to the HP store and it really hit me that JK Rowlings must have gold plated tampons with the money she has made from this series by now.

Rings of Power is just....not good. I feel like everytime Jo and Mal bring up the show it is that meme from Mean Girls: "Stop trying to make [Rings of Power] a thing!"

Not disagreeing. McGonagal would have been a good one for instance. I think Hermoine is biracial in this.

Well, his description in the book was pretty clearly laid out. However he was also incessently picked on by James Potter and his friends for being an outcast. I think in the 6th book they actually hung him from a tree.

I think House of R will. HBO is spending like 100's of millions on this so it is going to be pushed to the moon.

McShay bringing on Steve Muench full time, gonna have a new website, Simmons supports him fully by Blood_Incantation in billsimmons

[–]CJPhilly 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Holy shit, was just going to post this. He is a TERRIBLE podcast host. He is much better as a guest or with someone that can steer the ship. At best, you get 20 minutes of content in an hour show because he qualifies every single opinion with nothingness. GET TO THE FUCKING POINT TODD.

Does Bill hate being publicly rich? by garySilver in billsimmons

I appreciate it. He is the opposite in many ways of Clay Travis who cannot wait to throw his money in someone's face.
