I'm not shocked at all that his HBO show flopped. I remember questioning in this very thread if the general population even knew who he was enough to care about whatever he did next. Several people tried to tell me what a big deal he was. But, despite being a huge sports fan, I've never really read anything he's written or seen him on any shows. My exposure to him has been: a) I watch 30 for 30 (which, while it was his concept, is mostly a collection of other people's creative efforts), b) I read a few articles on Grantland (they weren't his articles, so basically same as 30 for 30), c) I've read a billion news stories ABOUT him.

I liked reading Bill Simmons because he seemed like an average guy who liked the oddities of sports and lucked into access to it and shared what he saw. I loved his reports from the Cleveland sports memorabilia show and all the weird stuff he would find. That said I probably wouldn't want to hear him talk very long.

Football players are to do literally nothing but play/practice/study their playbooks. Add in a certain other factor they're black  and you've got something primed to be a blown out of proportion shitshow.

I wound up watching the coaches one because it's a really good game but Bill Walton really made me think twice about it. I'd have definitely gone that feed if it was a blowout

Important point from Scott Van Pelt: Since Bill Walton is 6'11" that almost certainly means he had to have that sequinned Uncle Sam suit custom-made just for tonight.

I don't think they expected to continue past the election, but that's a big blow for the Ringer, imo Like I see it's number one on iTunes for whoever thought interest would be low post-election While I'm at it I see Schefter's podcast is supposed to debut today e: and the first guest is Jerry Jones Vertical Lime fucked around with this message at 16:56 on Jan 10, 2017 |

I thought they were the best part of the Ringer podcasts so yeah, pretty big blow to them. I was curious why the hell I wasn't getting shows in their feed so I guess this explains it!
