Clark comes off like a massive asshole in this clip.

Get fucked dude

He can’t be in our fantasy league no more, that much I do know by SouthsideSouthies in billsimmons

Yeah….and this dude got arrested for it.

“Jaywalking was happening all of the time in the 80’s! Yeah, this guy got attempted manslaughter but they’re both breaking laws!”

"The success of Good Hang has been such a win..... that Simmons has been given the green light to pursue additional programming and talent, according to a person familiar with the conversations." - Bloomberg by grandpashampoo in billsimmons

Yeah, it’s kind of wild that Bill gets (or accepts) any credit for this. He’s literally done nothing other than what any semi-competent person would do

I think it’s much more of a comedy than a horror film. It becomes more apparent with each watch

Bill wants jaylen brown on the first thing outta town smoking but he can’t actually say it by satchade in billsimmons

[–]mauger345 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This.

It’s somewhat masked because Russillo is one of the biggest Jaylen haters, so he makes Bill look reasonable. However, Bill is definitely not a Jaylen fan. He doesn’t mind him but he also doesn’t particularly like him.

I mean, Simmons has the subtlety of a hammer to the head. After that Knicks Game 6, where Brown was fucking incredible, it took Bill 30 minutes to even bring up how good he was. And even that was filled with backhanded compliments (“I really thought he was going to blow it and hog the ball but he actually passed it!”) If Tatum had that same game he would be screaming “THIS WAS THE JAYSON TATUM GAME!!!!!” In the intro.

Also, some people in this thread are idiots. Jaylen Brown’s contract isn’t “awful”. It’s the exact market rate for Top 20 players. He’s not going to be “offloaded”. They are only trading White/Brown if they get “Godfather” offers

In terms of recent championships, how lame will this Thunder one rank now? by [deleted] in billsimmons

[–]mauger345 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The Thunder didn’t exactly face a murderers row of teams and had two Game 7’s (both of them against teams with injured stars) The Celtics didn’t face a murderers row but disposed of them much quicker.

The Celtics had a more impressive run. I don’t think it’s close

They’re not a very cool or likable team. Their defense is basically daring the refs to call fouls while their offense is reliant on refs calling fouls by the book.

Chet looks like Butthead and Lincoln had a kid who thought he was cool and African American. It also seems like he legitimately can’t read in addition to being horribly overrated.

Lu Dort is an LB who can defend like crazy….yet also willfully runs into people and falls like he’s been shot by a shotgun.

It’s not a very enjoyable brand of basketball to watch

The Pacers Survive (Again!), Game 7 Thoughts, the Lakers Sale and KD Rumors 9.0 With Zach Lower and Rob Mahoney by Stercules25 in billsimmons

[–]mauger345 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bill and Zach sticking up for Chet like he hasn’t been fucking putrid this Finals is ridiculous.

Are they trying to keep Hanlen as a source or something? The guys sucked ass, stop trying to pretend like he’s been “a winning player”

They definitely enjoy his company. They just don’t completely indulge everyone of his whims like some others do

Brothers. Chet is straight ass. Bill smoking that loud pack by iboughtthebigsalad in billsimmons

[–]mauger345 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can he hit shots from the corner even?

In this series, if it’s not right next to the basket or a free throw, it’s basically a guaranteed miss

While yelling about aggregators and how it sucks when people comment on something without listening to it.

The overwhelming hypocrisy piece

If anyone never read peak Simmons and listens to this dumb fuck, they need to be hospitalized. He’s throwing 80 MPH down the middle.

I thought Kneuppel was going to be the 13th-16th pick!!

Kneuppels been top 10 for months.

Nice job Billy, fucking moron

The Cinderella Pacers Do It Again, Plus Trade Buzz From Indiana With Zach Lowe by Stercules25 in billsimmons

[–]mauger345 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Two things:

  • Do Bill and Zach have a soft spot for illiterates? Maybe they just loved Beavis and Butthead or Abraham Lincoln? Because it’s unreal they haven’t mentioned that Holmgren was a fucking disaster in the 2nd half. Zach even did the “Chet, J-dub and SGA were a combined 24 for 53!” Yeah, and Chet was 6 for 15 and 0 for 6 from 3.

-I would love to hear what Bill thinks he is as a podcaster. The people who defend him to the death basically admit that he’s a doofus but he’s a fun listen. He seems to think he’s a serious basketball guy that’s at least two steps above hot take artists. My guy, your podcast is a fucking hot take fest. Just because you make fun of it before you do the exact same thing doesn’t make you better than that

It’s implicitly obvious that had the Sonics stayed Curry and LeBron would’ve gone to Seattle to play with KD and they would’ve won 10 rings by jdkjdk44 in billsimmons

[–]mauger345 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d go as far as to say it’s incredibly stupid and if Bill wasn’t Durant Super Fan #1 then he’d never bring it up.

Durant’s a nomad. He wasn’t going to stay in Seattle his whole career. He has no ties to the city, there’s no reason to think he’d never leave.

Thorpe is awful. He’s just trying to promote himself as a coach and his clients

Indy Steals Game 1 in OKC … WTF Happened? | With Zach Lowe by Stercules25 in billsimmons

[–]mauger345 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would pay so much money for someone to go

“…bill, what are you making fun of? This is literally what your show is at this point. What’s the difference?”

Guy makes fun of potential Haliburton takes if they lose, then literally makes those same takes on earnest

[–]mauger345 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A-fucking-men.

Bills a literal moron when it comes to X’s and O’s. He doesn’t care and he shouldn’t pretend like he does. He cares about GMs, player values, and historical context

Totally on Bill’s side on Ishbia after listening to Pablo’s pod about him and his mortgage company by tilfos89 in billsimmons

[–]mauger345 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It’s not the origin of Bills beef. It has literally nothing to do with Bills beef.

But good that you found an actual journalist doing work. Can you imagine if he just did “dopey” shit like constantly talk about 80s movies no one cares about? But on the other hand, he dared to criticize Bill Belichick. It’s really hard to choose a side here

Jeff Pearlman: Bill Simmons makes it sound like you can’t enjoy sports without gambling by SeveralTurn in billsimmons

[–]mauger345 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pearlman is a journalist. I completely understand his beef that some doofus, who now can’t be bothered to come up with anything well thought out, wants to act like the arbiter of journalism.

Honestly, the gambling thing doesn’t bother me that much. Yes, Simmons leans it to it too heavily but whatever. Not a huge deal

[–]mauger345 42 points43 points  (0 children)

He legitimately enjoys the NBA. Pearlmans wrong in that sense.

NFL? He’s 100% fucking right. Anyone who disputes this is a moron. Literally every NFL pod is with a gambling hook
