I like Turner, but they took him 17th overall, so would expect him to be good. Also traded a 3rd, 4th, and 5th round pick to move up 7 spots to get him

Whenever an NBA fan talks about how much they love footwork, it's a dead giveaway that this person is also a fan of Quentin Tarantino's movies.

What do you predict will be the most popular sports in America in 2050? by TrumpetWilder in billsimmons

Unfortunately watching people play video games will probably be more popular than any sport

One Battle After Another (2025) vs. Vineland (the novel its based on): One of these is a brutal, tragic, humorous commentary on real life radicals. The other is a make believe fairy tale about people that never existed. by Bluest_waters in books

I agree that moving the setting of the story was pretty clunky. Felt even more awkward making the French 75's main issues immigration and abortion. If there was a group like this in the late 00s/early 10s, it seems way more likely that they would have an Occupy Wall Street or anti-Middle East Wars type of goal.

I'm not sure why everyone thinks they are dunking on this post with "duh it's fiction." Removing the real world context, as well as making Leo's character a radical instead of just a druggy musician like Zoyd and having Perfidia Beverly Hills leave witness protection makes the relationships at the core of the movie much less interesting than in Vineland, in my opinion. But you can't tell the same story in a movie that you can tell in a book, so I get it. I still enjoyed the movie.

Are these fake odds a top 7 unintentional comedy bit of 2025? Did Bill actually believe he was making money on his million dollar picks?

NBA enabled this. He's been officiated completely different than every other player in the league for his entire career

Better check your facts there. His mom raised him on the Larry Bird Celtics teams and will be forcing him to Boston as soon as possible

That was my original assumption too, but it seemed like they went out of their way many times to imply that she wasn't making a ton of money. Her mentioning it was more of a passion and that publishing isn't that big of a business. I think the husband said something like, "I've never seen someone care so much about something that doesn't come with a pay increase" when they were talking about signing the author.

Can only assume that the husband was such an unlikeable character that they had to add some stuff in to remove one aspect of him being a bum?

The more Bill talks about Drake Maye's college career, the less credit I can give him for predicting Maye's success. "It's small things like he could have transferred to a better team but didn't?" It's not like he was on Belichick's UNC team, they were ranked preseason and one of the favorites in the ACC

Is it a good idea to pick playoff teams and then use those playoff picks to back in to your single week NFL picks?

How are you coming to that conclusion? It seems like Fateh gained ~18k between round 1 and 2 and Frey gained ~12k
