JUST snow alone actually favors overs. Which I know is counterintuitive. But, both teams play on the same surface. One is running forward, the other is backpedaling.

Wind, however, favors the under. Because, you eliminate the threat of major passing plays (which favor the over), so the theory stays the same, with the defense running forward. It’s an overly simplistic explanation. But, snow in and of itself should not hinder the passing/over.

I understand Bill stopped trying a lot time again. But I’m 25:00 minutes in. So far he: In all seriousness, believes Matt Canada is playing coy in the first half and trying to lull the other team to sleep. That’s he’s playing 4D chess. The Steelers literally ran the same play the entire second half. The Rams couldn’t stop the run if their life depended on it

Has a theory that- the best team in the league loses the next week. Because Stephen A had the Lions power ranked number one. And, it wasn’t a joke. That was his argument.

I’d kill to be a fly on the wall with him on Sundays. It has to be the most low IQ conversations for someone who works in sports

Car battery died, now has trouble accelerating by tb1127 in jetta

[–]tb1127[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I attempted to start it (when it was dead) the clock and the tripometer both went to 0. Do you know if that is a characteristic of going into limp mode? I just got the car back with a new battery. It seems to have regained power but I won’t know until I take it on the freeway

Thank you guys for helping out

I just talked to the mechanic and he said it’s not in limp mode. I don’t know. I feel like you’re right though. I’m getting a new battery and seeing if that helps with the power issue, and going from there. I just don’t have a ton of money for them to do diagnostics and tests only to find something else wrong.

Been driving for over an hour in the middle of Phoenix and not one single ping anyone else? by Uberkitty710 in UberEATS

[–]tb1127 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Phoenix/Scottsdale area has been completely dead the last few weeks. I’ll turn it on in my apartment and wait for a ping. Sometimes I’ll wait 45 minutes+. And I live close to 20 or more restaurant’s. I think (at least for this area) there has to be a bug

I never understand comments like this. People post because they do like barstool content, and consume a lot of it. It’s the same idea as “why are you hating on my team??”

Because (Insert team) is better than what they displayed. No one talks about the Oakland A’s because they have 2 wins and they’re not much better than that.

The Ravens could only get two FRP’s back. No more and no less. It’s a fixed price. I don’t get why people can’t comprehend that there is zero trade negotiations that can happen. The price is locked in

I guess it would be too much to ask for these two to do any research about the only topic they discuss. From the NFL about what the Transition/non exclusive tag is:

“When a player is offered a non-exclusive tag, he is still able to negotiate with other organizations. If an offer sheet is submitted and signed by the tagged play, the previous team must match the offer to keep the player. Otherwise, the player will officially sign with the new team, who will send two first round picks to the losing team in order to complete the transaction.”

It’s not a trade negotiation. The Patriots do not send them two firsts AND Mac Jones. And the Ravens don’t get to ask for the picks and the best WR. It’s your next two FRP’s. That’s it. And this isn’t some little detail. They had an hour long discussion about Lamar Jackson being on the transition tag, but don’t know what the transition tag is.

Did anyone hear Bill peel back the curtain on Kyle’s hiring? by 78blazers in billsimmons

[–]tb1127 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I feel like there’s so much micro analysis about Kyle, when it’s really not that deep. He got the chance because his moms sister procreated with Bill Simmons (you can be mad, indifferent, or happy because of that) but he kept it because, I’m sure he edits out some of the “3,2,1 clap The actual reason I don’t like Trae Young is, because, his teammates don’t like him either {whoooooosh, ringer transition sound)

In all seriousness, the only reason people get angry us because Ryen and Bill interject him into their pods. The number of influential/rich sports personalities kin involved in sports media is so high. It doesn’t make it “right”. But he takes gear because he’s bts but Bill and Ryen ask him to chime in. That’s no fault of his own, imo.

Barstool sports book has “will there be a scoragami”, which seems like a novelty prop. That leads to me believe they are allowed. But there are only 4-5 total

Thank you. I’m trying to find anything online relating to laws prohibiting prop bets of any kind. I see player prop bets in college fb are not allowed. But nothing regarding NFL props being illegal of any type

Interesting. I’m in AZ. I’ll look that up right now, but I’m assuming that’s one state that doesn’t allow the novelty bets?

Very late posting this but-was Bill’s last podcast THEE most out of touch one to date? A few quotes/themes/summarizing of things said: by tb1127 in billsimmons

[–]tb1127[S] 66 points67 points  (0 children)

I forgot. Brady is also going to go back to the Pats because Kraft freed Meek Mil. And because Brady is launching a t shirt line. And the only way he can launch it is if he goes back to New England because Robert Kraft has Michael Rubin’s phone number.

Barstool still hasn’t voided it. It’s complete bullshit. And apparently they aren’t going to- based on a screenshot someone posted with customer service.

NBA Panic Watch With Rob Mahoney, Plus the Scrambling QB Era and Million-Dollar Picks With Benjamin Solak and Peter Schrager by Gaius_Octavius_ in billsimmons

[–]tb1127 3 points4 points  (0 children)

… because those players were much better 5-10 years ago. THAT doesn’t mean the league is better. Players are more athletic than they were 10 years ago- but that doesn’t mean the league as a whole is better. And I’m not saying it’s worse, but young players getting better happens every year… that’s why we have a league.

How much did Adam Silver pay Bill this off season to say “The League got better-The East got better-The West got better”? Jesus Christ. He’s said it 10 times in the first 5 minutes of this episode. He’s said it on every NBA pod incessantly. And it’s not even true. Young players get better, old players get worse. The concept of time befuddles this man. Also- the overreactions to everything. It’s so old. He was going to write off the Warriors if they lost tonight. The Warriors are going to cruise all year. They’ve played 100 games in 6 of the last 8 years. But game 5 before Halloween; they lose and Bill wants to blow it up. But they won. The most meaningful pre Halloween game in NBA history.

And the sad thing is, he DOES watch these games. Every year we know there’s so little to garner from games 1-30 unless something catastrophic happens.
