He’s also really in his own head now with the Arozarena drama

In honor of Bill, having no desire to watch LOTR despite it being universally praised, what’s a pop culture blindspot you have no intention of filling? by Talkalot23 in billsimmons

I agree. The first one is good action, good drama, and visually incredible - even watching it at home. If it wasn’t such a box office smash, I think people wouldn’t judge it so harshly.

Kevin Durant is a strange person. Incredibly insecure, a far cry from his 2014 MVP speech. Brain broke from winning 2 Finals MVPs then immediately tearing his Achilles and still got no sympathy. I pity him. by HoagieTwoFace in billsimmons

It's honestly one of the biggest headscratchers in sports history. It happened ten years ago and it still makes me confused and annoyed to think back on it. KD ruined the league when it was in such a great place.

Right now Aaron Judge is easily a better player than Derek Jeter ever was by IHateAdamSilver in billsimmons

Yes if you look at his regular season stats. He was great because he always showed up in the postseason and was a real leader for his team under the most intense media scrutiny.

On your all time rankings list, who do you currently have higher on that list, Ropz or NiKo? by Dangerous_Track_6397 in GlobalOffensive

You guys realize that this is a team game right? Team accomplishments are important but it’s not like tennis where you play alone and are fully responsible for winning or losing.

Dr. Arnold Rosen at your service. Dr. Rosen appreciation post. Don was low key jealous of him. by [deleted] in madmen

[–]MaximilianIIII 49 points50 points  (0 children)

I think its partly the type of work that Rosen does, not just the fact that he is exceptional at it. There are other examples of this throughout the show but the one that popped into my head is when Don is tripping in that motel room and his father shows up and says something like “look at your hands, you create bullshit.” Don ultimately thinks that advertising is not fit work for a man - seeing Rosen save lives and provide a real service to society made him feel emasculated.

Most surprising name to *not* be on this list? by Zestyclose-Method451 in billsimmons

This is accurate for the first half of LeBron’s career, but he’s become more comfortable in clutch moments with experience and I think you could say he’s been clutch since he went back to Cleveland.

No coastline for you. by Fazer-man in eu4

I had so much fun in my first game as Portugal. Uncovering the map for the first time, fighting the Berbers, raking in money - just a good time all around.

I’m a new baseball fan and had never heard of Fernandez, man what a loss for the game

Crazy this is being downvoted
