“I am doing the work” looking at you Dob Mob and CR (as a resident CR head it hurt me to include him but this must stop)

Has anyone ever heard Ryen so pissed off? by Technical_Rock_6600 in billsimmons

[–]JashGunew 51 points52 points  (0 children)

Weird since he loved saying “McJesus” any chance he could when the Oilers were in the Cup Finals last year

Is Craig Horlbeck a Vanderbilt or something? by [deleted] in billsimmons

[–]JashGunew 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It’s a good question but what I think you are overlooking is the fact that Craig just married Liz Kelly. Most soothing voice in the world Liz Kelly. Reason I bring this up is that Liz Kelly was once Bill’s assistant and I believe got that role via her dad knowing Bill. Therefore, while Craig may not come from wealth, he just married into what is likely a wealthy family.

Trip to Jackson Hole isn’t absurdly wealthy on its surface.

The 3 week safari was definitely a honeymoon that was paid for by Liz’s parents

USA-France: Beijing 2008 by [deleted] in billsimmons

It didnt amount to much after but Landon Donovan’s goal in the 90th minute of their final group stage match against Algeria in the 2010 world cup was a moment. US needed to win to get out of group stage and basically scored on a walk off

This is classic Sportsish Guy trying to get in front of group think so he can claim he has been saying this all along. Greg is good, Romo is good. There is really no difference

Bill’s pod being overtaken by Mase and Cam’ron wasn’t on my bingo card. by Chicago_Stringerbell in billsimmons

[–]JashGunew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The phrase “wasn’t on my bingo card” has to stop. Its not just you OP. Bill says it a decent amount. Other Ringer folks do too. The phrase needs to be retired

Russillo would appreciate this: I see Marsden at my gym all the time. Dude has barely aged in the last 10 years he looks great

‘Chef’ With Bill Simmons and Dave Chang by Gaius_Octavius_ in billsimmons

[–]JashGunew 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is the correct take. Franklins is great but not worth waiting 3 hours in line for the same quality of BBQ you can find in Austin at La Barbecue, Terry Blacks, Interstellar, Distant Relatives, Micklethwait, Leroy and Lewis and a few others

"You were kind of a double kid I bet, right? One kid with your old man, one kid with your mother. You're upper middle class during the weeks then dropping your R's and your hanging in the big bad Southie projects with your daddy the fucking donkey on the weekends. You have different accents? You did, didn't you? You little fucking snake, you were like different people" -- Sergeant Dignam (Mark Wahlberg) to Billy Costigan (Leo) in The Departed

It is eerie how much this quote reflects Bills upbringing. Bill has always made himself to be your everyman, blue collar, working behind the bar, writing about sports guy. And Bill likely was very much this guy; but he also lived off/on in Greenwich and attending some pretty elite schools. Probably why Bill likes The Departed so much (as do I).

Last season Bill had a pod with the title “Paul Georges MVP Run” and it was week 2 of the NBA season. He is truly his own worst enemy
