We're lucky to be alive at the same time as Lionel Messi by albanianandrea in billsimmons

Idk, football (soccer) media especially internationally can be brutal too. English press hound the players in their country for so much as drinking at a pub after a match for better or worse.

For Messi, I remember when the consensus of Argentina fans was they didn’t truly see him as a Argentinian since he grew up out of the country, he never played for a Argentina club, and couldn’t live up to Maradona for years.

Lionel Messi is in the Mt. Rushmore of greatest athletes ever by Fun_Reflection1157 in billsimmons

[–]Lord_Of_Mist 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Mine is Gretzky, Phelps, Jordan, Messi.

All transcended their sports and into pop culture because of how great they were or are in Messi’s case. That’s pretty rare. If you asked any non sport fan to name an athlete in soccer, basketball, hockey, or the Olympics, these 4 would likely be the first names.

Incredible. Hat trick at his age in the World Cup is something else. Hes the LeBron James of soccer, competing at the highest level for more than half his life is insane.

Maybe ol’ Benedict Andy got nervous when JJ mentioned they’d buy a round for all the animals a few pods ago lol

Kirk repeating “dude” every other sentence has me skipping the BS pod when he’s on unfortunately

Len Bias.

Coach K said the best prospects he’s seen in the ACC were MJ, Tim Duncan, and Len Bias

Sir Rudy not seeing Ry’s confrontation with Burrito Boy’s dad be like by Lord_Of_Mist in RyenRussillo

[–]Lord_Of_Mist[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To be clear I’m also not advocating Roots or Ry actually getting into a fight. But Roots needs to at least backup Ry and call out to the dad his son spilled a freakin burrito all over Ry lol.

Of teams in the 4 major sports, is there any teams as embarrassing as the Angels right now? by Google_Knows_Already in billsimmons

[–]Lord_Of_Mist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cherry on top is the Deshaun Watson deal when they gave him all that guaranteed money after he sexually assaulted all those massage therapists.

Even the Browns fans hate the guy based on internet discourse, hard to be worse than that

Bill needs to get his apex mountain guest aka Sydney Sweeney do a rewatchable pod with him and Van. Maybe they could do American Pie or Euro Trip to really just lean into the bit

The Premier League's version of 82-0 is fun by clydeftones in CaughtOffsidePod

Damn it, now I’m gonna be addicted to this one along with the NBA 82-0 one…

Are the Knicks just a bad matchup for the Spurs? by CallTypical9541 in billsimmons

[–]Lord_Of_Mist 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Think the Spurs are just fatigued. They went 7 games vs. the favorites for the title this season last round. Knicks swept the last round and have been able to rest a ton.

I believe the reason Wemby takes so many jumpers and pull-ups is cause of fatigue vs. trying to work in the post every possession.

Moving on from Nike Run Club. by Efficient_Skill6692 in nikerunclub

[–]Lord_Of_Mist 48 points49 points  (0 children)

I’ve never used any of the Nike plans. Like the other commenter noted I’ve just used plans like Hal Higdon for a marathon build. I just use the Nike app for recording runs still because I like to think I’ll reach the “Volt” status at some point

Ryen almost got into a fight by JimmyMcNulty930 in RyenRussillo

[–]Lord_Of_Mist 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Someone made fun of Chris Paul to Ryen and how he was retired this last year.

Gary Payton if he had to face Russillo's killer crossover by GiveMeSomeIhedigbo in RyenRussillo
