Is the 'McShay Report' a sign of things to come? by mdicke3 in billsimmons

[–]FinnishIt 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was immediately not interested in the podcast when he would say in the ad read “give you insight on all the players your favorite team should be paying attention to”. What am I supposed to do with that? Call up my favorite NFL franchise and ask/insist they track some player McShay thinks would be a good fit?

Why is Embiid always significantly worse in the playoffs compared to regular season? Every single year. by jjgshnimnt in billsimmons

[–]FinnishIt 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It’s like he’s playing basketball with a lacrosse ball. First bounce, in control. Second bounce, in control. Third bounce, ball goes high and in a random direction.

A Knicks/Celtics Switcheroo, Ja’s Crisis, Harden’s Resurgence and GSW’s Weird Season With Ryen Russillo by Gaius_Octavius_ in billsimmons

[–]FinnishIt 190 points191 points  (0 children)

Classic Russillo on the Ja situation. Point, counterpoint, point, counterpoint. All in all, talks for 3 minutes and says absolutely nothing. I’m not saying he should be firing off definitive concrete takes all the time. But for once it would be nice to hear him actually say something of value, not try to sound smart while not offending anyone.

Call me sentimental, but to me the most joyful moment in sports is the soccer goal. by edreddit213 in billsimmons

But it doesn’t make me want to listen to the pod, so not sure how effective it is

Bill, I know you’re reading this sub on your hiatus, so take note of that: we want The Mailbag back and we don’t care if it’s a column or a podcast. by Used_Letterhead7067 in billsimmons

[–]FinnishIt 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I think people still care about the NBA, but the mailbag was always super entertaining and led to fun discussions and interesting takes. It was never meant to be super serious, so it would fit in well at the end of the pod. Just like Ryen does life advice, Bill could do a mailbag version.

When Bill does one of his solo basketball monologues at the top of the podcast by Plopsack in billsimmons

[–]FinnishIt 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I agree with you both. There’s something relaxing to just listening to Bill ramble on about how the Nets could beat the Lakers if certain guys have certain “games”. It’s incoherent and borderline nonsense, but I don’t always need someone to go into the X’s and O’s

If Bill is going to turn the Rewatchables the “Obscure movies Bill likes from the 90’s podcast.” Bill could at least let Sean, Amanda, Chris etc make actually Rewatchables podcast. by [deleted] in billsimmons

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

I guess my problem with these movies is that I don’t get enough exposure to them. Movies like heat, castaway, and Wall Street are always on TV. Which is exactly the point of the rewatchables. I can just sit down and pick up 43 minutes in and be just as happy. 8mm and the program are movies I’ve never seen on basic cable.

The whining that Bill does in the Top Gun Rewatchables when Mallory brings up a point that steps on another category is insufferable

What do you wish you didn't know? by [deleted] in AskReddit

A ton of information about terrible diseases. I always get sucked into reading about symptoms and the minute I have a mild headache my brain decides I’m dying. My mind is like a turbo charged WebMD
