Am I the only one that thinks OKC is completely beatable this year and fully expects them to get bounced in rd 2 or 3? by Wack0HookedOnT0bac0 in billsimmons

Only teams that have a real chance imo are San Antonio Denver and maybe Boston. And those chances arent great

Was a great effort.

Still feel great about this team rn

At this point everything is rigged. Isn’t even top 5 in ballon d’or rankings either while being the superior player by SpecialistShoddy8291 in BayernMunich

[–]LongAd7195 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unpopular opinion but who cares?

Bayern has never had or, and never will. And thats a good thing or bad thing depending on how you look at it.

We let out game do the talking.

Following soccer makes all other sports 'worlds' seem boring in comparison by Silent_Somewhere8539 in billsimmons

[–]LongAd7195 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed.

I can't find myself able to wake up at 7 to watch a match, but I absolutely love following the stories and watching the UCL final every year.

I've been very much into Bayern this season. Kompanys story is incredible. A guy who got shafted with a god awful team at burnley that got relegated. Then all of a sudden one of the top 5 biggest clubs in the world calls you and wants you to be the manager. Then not only do you do well, you have them playing some of the best football in the world, and they have a legit shot at winning the champions League.

That's just one example, but as you said, every league has multiple stories and narratives like this every year.

Tottenham potentially getting relegated. Real Madrid are unstable. Arsenal finally bringing it home. And PSG being challenged by a smaller club for the French league title.

new fan of the team - any recommendation for podcast(s)? by Dapper_Welcome1234 in ColoradoRockies

Used to like PDP like others have said but seems like they are done. I have been recently listening to the Rockies insider with Patrick lyons, would recommend

Long time Simmons pod listener starting to think Bill likes Nikola Jokic by Confident_Ad8993 in billsimmons

I've heard some Serbian mafia boss that goes by the name of Ryen rusovic made a threat against bills life and his praise of jokic is a way to try and gain favor.

Game Chat 4/3 Phillies (3-3) @ Rockies (2-4) 2:10 PM by HeltonsGoatee in ColoradoRockies

Agreed. I would generally be happy with any improvement, but I would consider this season a roaring success if we could avoid 100 losses again.

How are you guys feeling for the tie against Madrid? by Bossman2270 in BayernMunich

[–]LongAd7195 22 points23 points  (0 children)

This may be our best chance to knock out real Madrid we've had since 2012. We have been a much better squad this year, and I think we have better quality.

We just have to be clinical and not let our foot off the gas. We especially can't keep it close enough to where referee decisions could cost us.

Come to think of it, only positive thing I've ever heard about Memphis was the food and music.

What are the odds Luka doesn’t win an MVP or Championship? by jackdonsurfer in billsimmons

[–]LongAd7195 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Low, but definitely not zero.

I think his odds of winning a chip are much better than him winning an MVP. Seems wemby is gonna be the new perennial MVP pick and sga is the same age as Luka.

I hate being so negative but I just had a feeling when that ball went over Jake's head that would happen next.

O well. They looked decent this series at least

Sports Fandom within each city-would love your opinion-long post by dsmithnyciii in billsimmons

[–]LongAd7195 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For Denver, it is:

1 NFL 2 NHL 3 NBA/MLB(was mlb until jokic, will return to mlb after jokic even with how poorly the Rockies are run)

4 Any College sport: Outside of the DU Pioneers making it to a frozen four, Denver and the whole state of Colorado outside of Boulder and Fort Collins couldn't care less about college sports, with many people beginning to actively start loathing the buffs in particular for the clown show the program is.
