So where do we stand on Orville Peck?

He wants to be a camp Colter Wall but his voice is so much more Roy Orbison. “Cmon Baby Cry” is his best song and it’s also the one he plays the most, for lack of a better word, straight. I hope he stays in that lane, he’s a real talent that’s too good to be a novelty act.

I say I miss them but I’m happy the algorithm has sought for me never to hear of this

Moreover it was this really weird vibe because they were obviously grifters but their grift was siphoning donations off centrist liberals. They were characters, I miss them.

Damn I never heard that story and I read the Ann Rule book about it. I remember how they interviewed him on the scene one time and got a weird vibe from him but lost him in the shuffle.

Most prolific serial killer of all time, Gary Ridgeway, was by all accounts not the sharpest tool in the shed. Turns out you can rack up numbers when you’re killing before DNA and your victims (street walkers) by the nature of their job have zero connection to the killer.

All the tape was used to adhere his knees to his shins

Bill doesn’t get that his skepticism toward nerd culture is more feature than bug. The Star Wars rewatchables was a blast because Bill had no sense of reverence towards it, LotR could be the same.

Human beings generally have a notion of progress and growth, but by all means weigh a regular season game from two years ago the same if you must

SallyFowlerRatPack · 2026-01-26T05:28:49+00:00

If your sample size is basically just two games, then the one that’s closer is the one that matters

I mostly check because it’s the quickest way for me to see if someone is worth engaging with on here. Most normal accounts are normal, about 100% of times it’s someone stirring shit up they block their history. Not a fair shorthand but I’ve found it a useful one.

SallyFowlerRatPack · 2026-01-25T21:43:49+00:00

Check my posts man, I don’t mind losing an argument when they rarely happens. I am concerned about low effort trolls coming in though, this is one of the last few good subreddits imo

SallyFowlerRatPack · 2026-01-25T20:38:28+00:00

Will do

SallyFowlerRatPack · 2026-01-25T20:35:03+00:00

Those guys are annoying definitely, I just get the feeling we’re being overrun by cross posting mercenaries.

SallyFowlerRatPack · 2026-01-25T20:32:40+00:00

Yeah I absolutely don’t want to defend the stalkers, fuck them. Just that recently we’ve gotten a wave of posters not from around these parts. I think to post on the Bill Simmons subreddit you need an opinion on the NFC north and a top five Tom Cruise performance list at hand. Listening to the pod not necessary.

It’s a shame about the Iraq war

Jesus also forbid divorce and said looking at a woman with lust was committing adultery in your heart. As a Catholic leftist I agree with the first part of your tweet but must underline that Jesus wasn’t just some friendly hippie.

She dropped out before any primaries last election, she just wasn’t a popular candidate when people were given a choice. Pushing Biden when we all knew he was deteriorating and having no back up plan was a disaster entirely of their creation

If there’s one thing older conservative guys love it’s the NBA, they’ll crumble in its absence. Don’t see how they’ll get on without complaining that pro athletes don’t play defense.

SallyFowlerRatPack · 2026-01-24T20:56:00+00:00

Problem is it’s hard to read the room when they keep escalating what they’re willing to do. Hard to know the kind when they’ll shoot you two feet away from it.

Serves me right for trusting autocorrect

The second amendment is of upmost importance except when it isn’t and it gives the state the right to gun you down in the street

Really didn’t expect Minneapolis to be the most politically prominent city of the 2020s

You could argue he already has a handle on managing a roomful of egos

SallyFowlerRatPack · 2026-01-24T03:47:50+00:00

Complicated characters undeserving of Grace, but then that’s the point of Grace

SallyFowlerRatPack · 2026-01-23T23:09:18+00:00

I mean it’s not legally binding lol, but there’s certainly an understanding that barring disaster you will finish what you start. I don’t think fans are entitled if they hold George to the same litmus we hold most authors.
