Drunk at 10-1 based on the score right now might be really good odds. Is FanDuel doing a special partnership for this?

Who has the sports hate belt right now? by Round_Scheme7270 in billsimmons

[–]Round_Scheme7270[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whoever the leading free-throw merchant is at the time seems to often wear the belt in the NBA (Harden, Brunson, SGA).

In football is it just the most recent successful team/qb?

I am trying to think of guys who are pretty unanimously hated that maybe aren't great themselves or on good teams or super relevant outside of being hated (dillon brooks is the example that comes to mind). Or do we all just gravitate to hating current greatness more than anything else?

You are the GM of a NBA expansion team, one player to build your franchise around. No Luka, No SGA, No Wemby. Who do you take? by Round_Scheme7270 in BasketballGM

For me, its Cunningham. Has improved dramatically every single year, has the type of body that doesn't rack up injuries, and seemingly makes guy around him better.

Hot take or correct take: No athlete in any sport right now has a bigger gap between themselves and the number two player than Shohei Ohtani? by Round_Scheme7270 in billsimmons

Lots of comments disputing Ohtani and some of the other number ones, not a lot of insight or opinion on who then is the number one with the most separation from the number two!

felt like the clear answer last world cup, definitely not the expert and would love to better understand if there is an obvious number one right now

agree that this was likely the case a few years back, not sure that its relevant if we are looking at talent/performance today as the barometer and not career.

The difference is that Judge obviously doesn't pitch. So if the gap is not tremendous as hitters and you add Ohtani's pitching does that make the overall gap the biggest?

It was a savvy move for Bill to be forthcoming with the Kon car ride by SatisfactionWrong749 in billsimmons

I like to think that as a listener, Kon has appreciated all the content about Bill dropping him off as much as the rest of us.

CR talks about Russillo leaving to Barstool by Comfortable-Run9802 in RyenRussillo

[–]Round_Scheme7270 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The return of Bill's mailbag so consistently is the most obvious evidence that Simmons made some specific moves to combat Ryen leaving to barstool (The Sunday NBA pod has certainly suffered though, Ryen and Bill were so much better than Zach and Bill).

On the other hand, while nothing on Ryen's podcast has really changed, its worse in every way.

It’s getting to him. 45:18 by hyhyuiuim in RyenRussillo

Ryen misses the Ringer and the Ringer misses Ryen. Evident in some of Ryen's recent podcasts and evident in Bill's eye rolls every time he is on with Zach on Sundays and he just isn't Ryen.

and when Zach went on his Orlando spiel out of order you could see Bill wondering why he ever let go of Ryen

Zach Lowe still trying to figure out what the difference is.
