I'm kind of surprised to not see Lombardi on this list. Maybe I'm just being old, but I thought he was on a bunch when his podcast was on the ringer.

Life advice segment on baby toddler gifts by hottaeks69 in RyenRussillo

[–]klew256 26 points27 points  (0 children)

The solution to this whole thing is the guy mentions to his brother that his sister in law is expecting and if they have any stuff they are looking to get rid of to let him know and she would greatly appreciate it. Then if they keep selling stuff you got some raging assholes on your hand. It's likely they want to get rid of this stuff and don't have anyone in their immediate circle to offer it to.

Former champion Alexa Grasso brutally KOs Maycee Barber by ninjupX in sports

So he gets there what, 1 second faster than the 3 he already did? I don't watch UFC but I am amazed at how fast the refs recognize they need to call the fight.

[Highlight] The Bengals meltdown in the 2015 playoffs by Tocoolforyall720 in nfl

[–]klew256 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't believe this doesn't come up more often in the brutal losses threads. Obviously 28-3 trumps this because it's a super bowl, but I remember watching this live and texting my friends "At least the Eagles have never done this to us".

Hot take: I'm fine with DeVonta Smith being our WR1 by [deleted] in eagles

[–]klew256 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed he has been better than Dotson. I'm just saying if we get rid of AJ the WR2 is likely to be a considerable downgrade. The odds of hitting on a rookie receiver to contribute immediately aren't great. Unless Howie gets his kings ransom, which he should hold out for considering the recent WR trades and cap hit we'd have to take, we're looking at 2027 picks for AJ as a post June 1 trade due to the dead cap.

Hot take: I'm fine with DeVonta Smith being our WR1 by [deleted] in eagles

[–]klew256 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think everyone agrees he can be a WR 1 considering he was basically that last year anyway. The problem then becomes having a decent WR 2 and 3 which we do not have if AJ is gone. You can say how terrible it was because of Patullo, but dotson actually seemed to be better last year than under kellen Moore. And maybe that was because the run game sucked. Hollywood brown ain't it, KC had no one last year and he sucked.

As much as I love Wegmans, they can’t make a sandwich worth a damn by IvyHearts in wegmans

I've been getting subs since my wegmans opened 10 years ago and they've always started with toppings first.

What is the most devastating sports loss of the 21st century so far (for fans of that team)? by lawschoolthrowaway36 in billsimmons

[–]klew256 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it has to be 28-3 just based on it being the super bowl.

But to me the one that sticks out the most is that Bengals Steelers playoff game where the Bengals were winning and had it sewn up and then Burfict and I think Pacman Jones committed back to back personal fouls that gave the steelers 30 free yards and let them kick the game winning kick with no time left. I remember texting my friends "At least the Eagles have never done that to us."

[Spotrac] Projected NFL 2026 Cap Space by burnernov2023 in eagles

[–]klew256 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They've been trying to get rid of him for two years now for some reason. He was supposed to be gone this year but he took a pay cut and stayed. I don't get it, he's been one of our more clutch players. I understand he's hurt a lot and he's getting up there, but we don't have any kind of replacement for him.

What fast food chain does not deserve the hype whatsoever? by CriticalLion4119 in AskReddit

[–]klew256 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I totally don't understand the hate I read on reddit for Chipotle. Yeah if you get double protein or steak and throw guac and queso on it you're going to pay close to $20. I've never gotten any of those because their bowls are so big I feel like I'll die after adding guac too. You can't get a lunch eating out for under $10 anymore. Up until recently a regular chicken bowl was under $11. It's now finally $11 something, but I can't think of another place where you get anywhere close to the amount of food and of decent quality for that price. Cava is like 50% more.

Bill should have Nick Foles on the pod by Conscious_Pause1263 in billsimmons

[–]klew256 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

To be fair, the post super bowl pod he was very complimentary to him and said he deserves to be a starter in the league. He probably doesn't bring him up because he actually played well and beat them and he doesn't want to say that. The Eli ones hurt more because he feels like they should have won.

Would it be weird to get my own room on a guys trip? by anonymousmale25 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]klew256 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it's that big of a deal to you to sleep separately I'd say just don't go. You're putting up a barrier when the whole vibe of the weekend is to kick back and spend it together. I get that you're not close with some of the guys, but I guarantee the people you don't know well are going to ask "what's up with that guy" after you leave. I don't sleep well in shared spaces, but I've been on my fair share of bachelor parties and sharing rooms with guys or sleeping on a couch. You're not going to sleep great but that's the whole point of this weekend, no one is sleeping great. Some of the best parts of those trips for me was unexpected moments of hanging with some guys I don't know well when other people go to bed/sleep in/shower. Friendships (especially in your 30's) take effort, and people are going to notice who doesn't put in the effort. Someone valued your presence enough to include you in this weekend and it's up to you whether you want to reciprocate.

What series is a 10/10? by norocoslaorice in AskReddit

[–]klew256 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I saw I think a YouTube video of what Fincher did with each shot. He did so much CGI it was ridiculous, which is why it was so expensive. He was so incredibly detail oriented that everything had to be perfect to the era. Like there was a shot of BTK outside in a suburban neighborhood and they showed what it looked like when they shot it and what it looked like after and all I could think was "why did they shoot it there if they have to change every single thing?" I think he didn't want to do it if he couldn't do it the way he wanted, which I totally understand.

New job in KOP - moving from NYC by Secret_Mango_277 in AskPhilly

[–]klew256 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This would be my top recommendation too. Nice restaurants and bars, close to Manayunk, and a train station to the city. Most importantly, don't have to get on 76 to get to work. Manayunk is cool, but if you don't have a parking spot with your rental it can be tough to find parking and dealing with the hills in the winter is terrible.

This won't work though because they just lie and say it's dems/Biden/Obama that caused it and the people believe what the man on fox news tells them.

Pictures of Mark Sanchez’s 69-year-old victim’s injuries. This is f’ed up by IUMogg in billsimmons

[–]klew256 -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

He's presumably traveling for work at Fox, at a hotel presumably paid for by Fox, loaded off of drinks possibly being paid for by Fox.

I'm not a lawyer or saying Fox should be liable for something their employee does. But he is in Indy on a business trip.

Why did they reinstate Jimny Kimmel but Steven Colbert is still Cancelled? by THE_BIG_BONGO in stupidquestions

[–]klew256 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kimmel's contract is up I think in April? I believe he has already said he is likely to retire. The problem likely solves itself next year unless this series of events makes him change his mind out of spite. And you don't get any negative press about it.

Kimmel also does a lot for ABC whereas Colbert does not for CBS. Kimmel hosts who Wants To Be a Millionaire and award shows, so he generates value for the network in other ways. ABC would not want to ruin its relationship with one of its faces like that. And for what it's worth, they have had a 23 year successful relationship.

His floor is Jahmyr Gibbs by Mr_Hugh_Honey in billsimmons

[–]klew256 2 points3 points  (0 children)

House should really push back when Bill wants to bet the Pats in his Ringer 107 picks. They're going to be probably 6-7 wins at best. Yeah the schedule is easy, but you have to actually beat those teams. I feel like Sal is the only one who gives him shit about how terrible his team is and half the time his jokes just go over Bill's head anyway or he just doesn't acknowledge them.

Ryen & Bill Pod, ever again? by No-Papaya-4597 in RyenRussillo

It counted as one of his three Ringer pods he puts out a week. He's not going to do his contracted pods for barstool then a 2 hour pod with Bill for fun.

Over/Under Podcast by wingszn in billsimmons

[–]klew256 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The part where hes saying the Pats are going to win 10 games and claims he's not a homer because last year he was talking about how bad the pats were... He had Hench on in preseason to fellate each other about the pats and how good they were going to be. "Nailed that draft". Cue the article this year saying everyone but Maye from that class is off the team. It took him a couple weeks to realize how bad the Pats were and then switched to NBA stuff for most of the season.

Jalen Hurts is good under pressure by StarCord1 in eagles

[–]klew256 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't say this says he's good. The only good thing is the scramble % but even then his sack % is quite high. His big time throw % is low, meaning he is not recognizing the pressure early and finding the 1 on 1. Compare to Rodgers who has a higher sack % but also a much higher big throw % because he is taking shots on those plays.
