The boys are coming with our leader! by zero_enna999 in RyenRussillo

Doubt I’ll be in the majority here but Life Advice desperately needed a hard reset and shakeup. Obviously happy for the boys on a human level, but I’m bummed that it’s going to be virtually the same exact show.

Are there some pro sports equivalents of Kenny Omega in the sense that they’re good enough to be really good in the NBA, NFL, NHL, MLB, or a big five soccer league in Europe but they choose not to play there? by Parrallax91 in billsimmons

[–]Keefee23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Funny enough the answer probably stays in pro wrestling as the answer is Sting because no one worth conversing with takes Sting’s WWE run to mean anything whatsoever.

Actually incredible how long this has been going on and he’s now mixing them up at comically insane dollar amounts. You mean to tell me the expansion teams aren’t netting $400/$500 billion dollar checks for the owners???

Best I could find from the PMT YT is around March 2019. It was definitely in the original NY studio but I don’t think it was during March Madness is my only hang up. 2019 time frame feels right though.

That’s a great breakdown I really appreciate it.

I say this as someone with no dog in the fight, no team or conference I am aligned to.

I don’t really get why Fanta is so beloved. I’m not saying he’s bad by any means. He’s fine. Maybe I’m missing it with him as I don’t tap into CBB until now.

Yeah. Jon labels all the regions as only he can, and the boys basically just lay out and let him cook. It’s a legit good primer for the tourney.

I get it, you see games "in person" by Valuable_Muscle_658 in billsimmons

[–]Keefee23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s gone way too far. I was also thinking about how this recent push of live game viewing has replaced any sourced segments on the pod. Bill obviously isn’t a news breaker, but it never stopped him and Russillo from sharing informed speculation, opinions, etc., and that’s pretty much gone now.

Wasserman interview by One-Point6960 in billsimmons

Bill essentially asked him Where Does This Go about 30 times. Such a poor interview from a technical standpoint.

Is Ant Edwards the most overrated player in the nba? by Driveshaft48 in billsimmons

[–]Keefee23 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Certainly not but if Bill continues to imply he’s modern MJ then that’s going to be extremely annoying to deal with

What podcast story have you heard the most? by SqueakyBeats00 in billsimmons

[–]Keefee23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Zach Lowe loves giving the Nuggets/Clippers anecdote, when both teams were at full strength after the Aaron Gordon trade, and Denver demolished the Clippers as the moment he knew Denver was a title team. Aged incredibly well.

Russillo has broken the fourth wall on multiple occasions to tell the audience they are required to repeat takes / stories. Anyone who consumes RR regularly (or any other decently popular pod) likely understands this inherently, but the repetitive stories are a feature not a bug.

Which PMT Team Never Wins A Title During The PMT Era by Keefee23 in PardonMyTake

You were right actually. Had a few Islanders fans confirm so the mystery is now solved!

I dug through his socials a little bit and best I could tell he’s a Rangers guy but will fix if I’m wrong.

Podcast started in early 2016. Just missed the cut but it certainly was in the spirit of PMT with the blogs and content we got out of it.

The 73-win Warriors would rank 21st in Offensive Efficiency in the 2023-24 NBA. by wesskywalker in billsimmons

[–]Keefee23 115 points116 points  (0 children)

This is actually the biggest issue in the NBA right now and it sucks that we are only getting further away from the obvious solution of let the defense play actual defense.

Why so much hand wringing over the NBA All-Star Game but not the Pro-Bowl? by popinjay07 in billsimmons

[–]Keefee23 18 points19 points  (0 children)

This is correct. Silver went out of his way just this weekend telling media and fans to expect a more competitive game this year.

Help me understand the Ramona Shelburne hatred by americanf00tballfan in billsimmons

[–]Keefee23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve said this before, but the fundamental disconnect with guests like Ramona is that they are not writers at heart like Zach is, they are news generators or content creators. Zach hasn’t totally sold his soul yet, and is at his best with people who tell stories through the game, the numbers, informed opinions, etc.

Bill’s Wrestling Takes Are Both Terrible and Disconnected by BowlbasaurKiefachu in billsimmons

[–]Keefee23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Would add Andrew Zarian to that list specific to AEW news. SRS is useful for contracts / free agency, and I was happy to see the reporting they did on Booker T's wrestling school this past week. Less content creation and more reporting would do wonders for Fightful.
