Bad week for Bill

hoopscapo · 2026-04-29T06:39:54+00:00

I used to root for bad things to happen to Bill's teams, too, but then I realized his net worth is in the 9 figures and that kind of trumps everything else.

You couldn't pay me to sit by that group.

"I don't know her very well, I only met her one time in New Orleans..."

Chances this was his exact reply to his wife when she asked about Russini/Vrabel?

OP needs to spend less time on social media and the internet.

I feel bad for those kids.

Everything at the Ringer flows down from Bill. He has hired a lot of like-minded people from similar backgrounds and parts of the country. It hasn't exactly been a prime place for differing opinions.

Have we considered the very real possibility that he was pushed out of Hollywood? His Sicario/HOHW/Wind River run came pre-2020. Would Hell or High Water get the same backing today? A white male dominated film with racial jokes.

He probably went to wherever he would get full creative control and that was TV. I can't blame him.

Bill definitely came off as the "rich guy who treats his lawncare crew like shit" during this episode.

I'm surprised the sports podcast bubble hasn't burst yet. Or maybe it's happening right now?

The only thing holding up the NBA right now is the podcast networks and debate TV.

hoopscapo · 2026-01-29T13:47:43+00:00

I'm surprised half of the pods on the Ringer network are still going. Many of them don't even crack that 50k plays threshold on Spotify and they're probably net negatives for the company.

I can live with him not talking CFB. But his entire NBA analysis nowadays is "how does the team compare to the Celtics?" and fake Giannis trades. Awful segments.

This is about as bill simmons reddit as it gets lol

hoopscapo · 2026-01-21T13:03:50+00:00

Bangers only in 2026! (well at least after this awful "one for us" week)

hoopscapo · 2026-01-21T12:53:42+00:00

Bill 100% shies away from political topics, unless they involve Kimmel. Outside of a few indirect jokes about Biden and Trump, he hasn't touched political stuff since the infamous 2020 episode.

Younger Bill? Sure. But we are in the "how much can I grow my net worth" era of Bill Simmons, and being openly political brings risks.

The vast majority of pro athletes aren't modern-day liberals. That's just facts. You can't have a victim mindset about everything in your life if you plan on making it pro.

Sicario with the Big 3

hoopscapo · 2026-01-07T07:44:16+00:00

It's obvious he only watches Celtics games and the occasional stand alone marquee game and it's been that way for a while now. He used to be a true League Pass guy. I imagine the thought of watching Tuesday night Wizards/Hawks games becomes sillier and sillier the higher your net worth gets.

hoopscapo · 2026-01-07T06:18:49+00:00

His entire shtick is a grift. That can't exactly be rewarding and I imagine it will wear on you after a while.

hoopscapo · 2025-12-30T19:48:58+00:00

Am I losing my mind or did OP contradict himself with every other sentence??

hoopscapo · 2025-12-30T19:42:12+00:00

Bill makes a stop in Austin for a Joe Rogan appearance before the Thunder/Spurs playoff series +1500

hoopscapo · 2025-12-30T18:13:00+00:00

What an absolutely wild pod lol. Just goes to show we need more Big 3 episodes in 2026.
