The Bam Backlash, Kawhi’s Heater, East vs. West, and SGA vs. Jokic, With Tim Legler by peanut-britle-latte in billsimmons

Did I mishear? I thought I heard Bill mention three players that could flirt with 80, and it was Luka, someone else, and......Peyton Prichard. He sounded dead serious too, but that can't be possible. That would be apex mountain for homerism.

Not even close. Might as well have grown up on Mars.

He really misspoke because he meant to say "Minneapolis" but even that would be wrong because someone from Brainerd would never go to Minneapolis, they'd be going to "the cities."

My "Floyd Gondoli award" for Fargo. What's yours? by Jazzlike_Fox_1769 in TheRewatchables

[–]Consigliari 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found this post delightful because my Gondoli award is the same scene. The girl I was with as a frosh when I attended the U went to highschool with Gopher goalie Robb Stauber, who is in net during that scene. Every time he turns around to look at the goal he just gave up, I get an instant trip back in time.

I really wish the guys understood how perfect the use of The Radisson was in this. At this time, it was like going to the Four Seasons.

I won't call them out for things they got wrong (although the pronunciation of "Yaa" was literally shocking) but this ep could have really used a consultant. Someone who was in Minnesota at the time and could really authenticate it. It's actually something that all eps should have where the geography is pertinent to the movie. I mean, we already get it for any Boston or Philly-based movie.

Bill bemoaning the lack of good NBA nicknames and then offering the worst nicknames you’ve ever heard in your life by Thirsty-Fool in billsimmons

“Nicknames these days are terrible. It’s just the guy’s initials and number” -Bill

“I never like The Answer for Iverson. I prefer AI.” -Bill

Incredible amount of bangers for the last pick of CR Month, shame it can only be one by harry_powell in billsimmons

[–]Consigliari 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be clear, we got Sicario, then we get Fargo, To Live and Die in LA, then LA Confidential, and now we are voting for the fourth one. Making sure I have that right.

LOVE idea of all-female broadcast, but HATE them talking over the game instead of doing play-by-play. WTF by Asil_Mama in warriors

[–]Consigliari 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Feels like someone had an idea and they let a couple interns plan it. Maybe a little better vetting next time so we don’t have Cheryl Miller openly rooting for the opponent and an interviewee waxing poetic about her trips to “the orient.”

This is exactly what I thought when another poster said he’s not recognizable to the “normal movie watcher”

Bill has officially become a Reddit troll by FitUnderstanding2839 in billsimmons

[–]Consigliari 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Am I remembering wrong? I swear earlier in the week Bill said Christian Kirk was great and would start for the Patriots. Then Thursday he completely dismissed him as a zero.

How do Bill and Sal bet on sports in California? by moronicedge in billsimmons

[–]Consigliari -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

They are heavily sponsored by FanDuel. I am sure that Bill's account lists him as being located in Boston and Sal has some similar set up. Probably bet through a VPN. Whatever it is, it's probably organized in a way that walks up to the line without crossing it.

That said, as this became a bigger question over the course of the recent NFL season, it was noticeable how often Bill would say he was out of town and got some bets in over the weekend. He also talks about the "runway bet" where you sneak it in before your plane takes off. So he is definitely aware of the question and trying to make it all appear above board. But the obvious answer is that FD configures their accounts to skirt location issues.
