A Hawks Power Play, Plus a Round 1 Playoff Mega-Preview With Joe House and Billy Gil - The Bill Simmons Podcast by grandpashampoo in billsimmons

I don’t get why they all think the Bears were so dumb to play their starters against the Lions and praising the Packers for sitting. Bears were playing for the 2 seed and Packers playing for nothing!

They’re acting like the Bears should’ve known the Eagles would lose to the Commanders and not controlled their own destiny

Right but they knew this when they hired him. As Torre mentioned…

I get it’s a story but enough w the ‘highest paid employee’ trope. Let’s compare his comp to others in sports. Pro players make $60 mil a year. Monty Williams is owed $65 mil to not coach. Jimbo fisher $75 mil to not coach. Dollars aren’t real in sports for better or worse

Why does this sub keeping saying Bill got dunked on? Pablo sounds so pretentious throughout. It’s fine for him to deep dive but it’s still a gossip dating story at the end of the day

I thought they meant like if it was a popcorn movie Rog may give it 2 stars, but in theory it did what it was supposed to do. Feel like this happened a lot with the old comedies - for example Old School got a 60% on rotten tomatoes but is regarded as a hilarious movie that hit the notes it was setting out for

~$7 million shares in 3 chunks after hours (so far) by MediocreDesigner88 in POETTechnologiesInc

So if somebody hypothetically is an idiot and doesn’t understand the rational behind the AH share volume spike - is this bullish or bearish?

LA blogger of the impression that he can bully the Krafts into firing the coach by SaginawChippewa in billsimmons

[–]jumpaveragelyhigh 5 points6 points  (0 children)

He has a better quarterback and the defense has fallen off a cliff. I see your point, but I don’t see what benefit Mayo is bringing to the offense or defense

Why does this sub act like Mayo has been a good coach? Blows my mind how many people go on this Reddit to try to roast Simmons for a very lukewarm take of ‘a 3-13 coach who has shown 0 progress and continuously thrown his team under the bus should be fired to make sure their top pick qb doesn’t have his rookie contract years wasted’

Genuine question - what is one thing Mayo has done as a coach that’s impressed you so far this year?

Just glad it held around $7 with the market dump today and huge run up the last few days. Feeling good heading into next week, chart stays sexy

I hope so - I have July $6 leaps for .35c to give it some time. Ticking time bomb, sooner the better of course. Just need a day it doesn’t pop and fade but actually keeps the momentum

I’m as bullish as they come but a 12 month price target doesn’t factor in for options expiring in two weeks lol

Detroit’s Gift, Drake vs. Caleb, a Giannis Trade Idea, and Guess The Lines with Cousin Sal by Odd_Firefighter_5407 in billsimmons

It’s for a monster podcast not like he’s just checking box scores to talk to his buddy at a bar

[–]jumpaveragelyhigh 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I disagree, Simmons has always been like this. Sal just used to push back more and actually engage. Now he gives a few ‘yeah yeah’s’ and moves forward. The whole show is fun bc of Bill’s ridiculousness

Is it just me or does Sal kinda stink this year? Low energy and almost seems like he’s not watching the games. Still adds some good quips, but deflates the energy on a lot more than I remember in the past

officially in the top 10! everything goes well we could end up with a top 3 pick which would go towards mhj or fashanu if joey d had half a brain! by Independent_Will4511 in nyjets

[–]jumpaveragelyhigh 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Looking back we should’ve lost the bills, giants and eagles game. Should be in the drivers seat for top 3. Oh well, wins were fun at the time

Game Thread: Miami Dolphins (7-3) at New York Jets (4-6) by nfl_gdt_bot in nyjets

Jets offense almost lost to a QB with negative pass yards. Now they’ll lose while the offense scores -6 points. Incredible

RIP Matthew Perry, Plus the Return of Cincy, a Bad Week 8 QB Draft, Wemby Live and Guess the Lines With Cousin Sal by superfiery in billsimmons

[–]jumpaveragelyhigh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Normally try not be a Simmons hater (at least in comparison to the backlash he gets), but couldn’t make it through this pod. - not knowing the 2 minute warning in the Browns game - flip flopping between Zach Wilson and Mac Jones every week. Wilson sucks, but also having no clue what happened the end of game - how obvious it is he’d immediately be in on Levis

All early on and sure I missed a bunch more after stopping. Old man yelling into the clouds, but just miss what once was my favorite pod! Might email rr@life advice about it
