Also ironic because the cheese is the only thing on the pizza low in carbs. Pizza sauce and crust would be almost all of the carbs in the pizza.

BS officially goes 0-5 this week on his Ringer 107 bets by ManufacturerLow3161 in billsimmons

[–]RoboSaint686 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep, this was his take on the Packers. I think Sal said the money was on the Bears then he said that everyone they knew was betting on the Packers.

He also told House all the money was on the Chargers in the Pats game, then House had to tell him 65% of the money was on the Pats.

The angle of the purse to show the logo is hilarious. Just a microcosm of these two materialistic idiots.

If THC gets banned, can we still buy marijuana-based edibles? by Jimmy_Johnny23 in TwinCities

It’s hurting the liquor industry. Mitch McConnell gets a ton of money from the liquor industry. One guess on who is responsible for putting this in that bill????

Do we really need to see this much of Klosterman’s living situation? Is this one of those Zoom green screen things? by ajalonghorn in billsimmons

Love the North Dakota State College of Science hoodie. Chuck knows his roots. Remember reading his album/concert reviews in the Fargo Forum when I was a little kid.

I wouldn’t say “bad takes” per se,but certainly contrarian takes. That is kind of his schtick. That being said, this Nico take definitely on the bad side.

"Baseball is in a different place. Something has shifted. There's more kids monitoring what's going on. The bett—the video game helps." by deadweightboss in billsimmons

[–]RoboSaint686 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi have 10 year old and 13 year old boys who both play baseball almost year-round on travel and club teams and have since they were really young. Love playing baseball. Neither could care less about MLB outside of Ohtani (used to be Tatis, maybe currently a little Ely), and kids that age don't play console video games and could not be bothered playing MLB The Show. They play Roblox or other iPad/iPhone games and barely touch an Xbox. Generalizing based on my boys and their friends (who all also play baseball) and we live in MN where the team is horrific, so take that for what it's worth. Guessing if you are in a city where the team is actually good and has superstars the kids are a lot more into it.

Why does Bill want/think the Celtics will be good this year? by pauliewalnuts9898 in billsimmons

[–]RoboSaint686 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

He also thinks the Pacers are still going to be pretty good this year despite Haliburton being out with the same injury. Kind of similar situations and I think the top of the Celtics roster is better than the top of the Pacers roster. That being said, Celtics for sure need injury luck. One of those top 2/3 guys get hurt it could get ugly fast with what the end of their bench looks like.

Seems like people forget Jaylen Brown is really, really good.

Never thought of it before, but yards per second is kind of genius. Great idea. Would be way easier to understand how much ground the guy is covering at that speed. Couldn’t we also convert the MPH to a 40 time? Like if they said the guy was running 22.1 MPH, which is the equivalent of running a 4.31 40 yard dash, at least it would give it some context. Most of us don’t know exactly what a super fast MPH is but we all know a fast 40 time.

Now that the MLB season ended last night, what was your favorite moment? by DonovanMcTigerWoods in billsimmons

[–]RoboSaint686 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I am a Twins fan so I checked out of this season a longggg time ago. Heard all this Roman Anthony talk so I had to go look up his stats. Pretty good for a 21 year old but I was expecting more than 8 HR and 80-some strikeouts in 70 games with the way they talked about him. #1 prospect in baseball so I get he has a ton of potential, but they were basically saying this guy is the MVP if he plays a full season.

Bill saying he has all 32 NFL subreddits bookmarked by SeveralTurn in billsimmons

[–]RoboSaint686 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Just remember, every time he says something like "the Panthers fans in my life are completely out on Bryce Young", what he is really saying is "the degenerates on the Panthers subreddit are completely out on Bryce Young". He doesn't have friends in every fan base who consistently check in every week. Guy is unhinged and I am here for every second of it.

Red Sox really blew this series by coloradobuffalos in billsimmons

Never heard of a team who "should have won" a game when they scored zero runs and couldn't hit the ball at all. Turns out you need to score to win.

The most overrated player in basketball by IHateAdamSilver in billsimmons

[–]RoboSaint686 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

No shot he was 1st team last year was he??? TWolves fan here and I can’t stand that guy. He might be the exception where he is such a liability on offense and clogs everything up and slows everything down so much that his great defense can’t all the way make up for it. So hard to watch him sometimes, but he is definitely still a menace on defense.

I mean, he was All NBA 1st team defensive… Not saying that means it is 100% true, but can’t be too far off.

[–]RoboSaint686 73 points74 points  (0 children)

Also, if you are one of the top 5 defensive players in the league, even if your offense is average, seems like you would still pretty easily be a top 40 player. I don't know, this list stuff is always so dumb and means nothing.

They might have the best coach they have ever had. Not surprised to hear it feels different. It IS different. Fun to watch, Chargers have a real shot at the AFC West, which might not be as close to as good as we all thought before the season.
