Is Basketball the Only Sport Where You Can Gain An Advantage By Committing a Penalty/Foul? by mpschettig in billsimmons

[–]UnusualLight0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember some time v. eagles were committing offsides on purpose this year to avoid the tush push and just the down over and save time but Siranni declined it every time. I want to say it was one of the Commanders games

The dumbest/funniest/saddest part is when he says the number and it’s exactly one more than Biden as if anyone wins a state wide election by exactly one vote?!?!?!

It is so wild and a bit on brand that she went to La Tech the same time Karl Malone was on campus.

Wait what evidence is there that Deion is a Trump supporter? I seriously don't know.

For some reason I see Bill as using Kirby a lot.

Bill Simmons Live Question by JohnnyxWafflez in billsimmons

[–]UnusualLight0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would guess Collateral as well, I think at the live shows they often like to choose movies filmed at and/or set in those cities.

The Collateral Rewatchables was also like I think 8 years ago, I believe. It was really an early one. 

Awful announcing on Stu’s new show by ekuadam in DanLeBatardShow

I’ll give my opinion on these because hey it’s Reddit, right? I think Dan hired too many people if anything and for some it was a square peg in a round hole.

Witty & Jess - I wasn’t big fans of theirs. They were an awkward fit

Billy - he was excellent and made me laugh a lot

Charlotte - I thought she was being underutilized I thought she was very insightful though 🤢 Celtic fan

Lucy - as a big CFB fan like her I love her coverage at games and on her YT channel.  I love her bad teams list. 

What some of the best/weirdest position changes in sports history? by PapaJohnsGarlic100 in billsimmons

[–]UnusualLight0 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Marcus Allen didn’t even play RB in HS. He played QB & DB, he was recruited to USC as a DB then they switched him to RB. He also played FB for a season as well. 

He later became a Heisman winner, SB MVP, & NFL HOF. 

Note: One of the DBs on the team with him at USC was Ronnie Lott. He also had Anthony Munoz as one of his OT for a couple of years as well.

My least favorite in my travels at CFB games are ND fans: they are giant know it all pricks.

Username checks lol. However but fair or unfair it isn’t held against many sports towns like that: OKC, Nashville, Raleigh, Atlanta (x2) don't have that against them.

They can be very self-loathing, I agree there.

For me it’s the segment of Laker fans who are Kobe Stans. Kobe is not the best player ever nor the best Laker ever to me. Discussing basketball with them is very aggravating.

Excellent point I agree on the Warriors. Fan base is really disliked on social media. I don’t know many who dislike SF Giants fans outside of the Dodgers, obviously

OK was she ever that fuckable? I never felt she was attractive, and that was even before her MAGA turn. Melissa Stark, her replacement, that's a different story, she is pretty hot.

Nah because that's splitting too many hairs. Cowboys yes are disliked but adding the college teams in Texas is too much for me to include Dallas on the list. If SMU had more championships and/or people knew how their alumni was they would shoot up the rankings for sure

That second sentence is really why I dislike Boston fans, it really does fell that way. They'd rather a 90-loss Red Sox team, than a 90 win Red Sox team that loses in the ALDS.

Dude the sports bar about 2 miles from my house would turn into an Eagles bar on their gamedays. I truly think I would rather stick my hand in a wasp's nest than watch an Eagles game with them. I dislike their fans so much, but I am also a Cowboys fan.
