I am sad that he moved on to using "cancel culture" like every other rich dipshit who gets made fun of for being an rear end in a top hat instead of sticking with his very catchy "the everyone gets offended by everything generation"

Can't wait for next year's Spotify premium Ringer podcast "Culture Cancelled" in which Bill, Chris Ryan and Sean Fennessey consider what "amazing" sexist and racist movies from the 70s wouldn't get to exist in today's cancel culture. Stay tuned to find out if the rape in Revenge of the Nerds is overrated or underrated.

Not that Bill Simmons should ever talk about politics but it reads more like he's just guessing at what Trump voters like? Claiming his base is motivated by "cry more, Lib" poo poo is kind of basic but doesn't even seem like that hot of a take

I don't have a Defector sub though and I'm definitely not listening to one of his podcasts

Generally when these types of people who dont really have contact with normal people tend to project their own feelings into people.

No getting mad at people being offended by racist or sexist stuff has definitely been a thing for a long time with him, especially when he talks about comedy.

Like he's still friends with Adam Carrolla whose entire career now is Owning The Libs, it's not really a surprise he's kind of an rear end in a top hat about this stuff, especially if he you read his old writing.

I wasn't there to witness it personally, but basically at the time the SoSH main board would roast anyone who couldn't back up their arguments with sabermetric approved numbers, and somebody dunked on Bill so hard over an Edgar Renteria take he quit. Which honestly was probably the right call for all the parties involved.

I read this as "every single person moaning about cancel culture has gone too far in a closet full of skeletons", which is a very specific accusation.

Reince Preibus is Snot Boogy in that he was only in the intro to the first episode and his demise is kind of funny.

He turned it into a whole dang essay:

https://www.sbnation.com/secret-base/21559264/joe-biden-is-joe-flacco

quote:

Back in 2007, when Flacco was chucking footballs in the obscurity of the FCS and Biden was getting absolutely waxed in the Democratic primaries, it was impossible to imagine these two winning a Super Bowl and a presidency. Look at them now! Even in retrospect, neither completely makes sense, and both could only have happened under precisely the right circumstances. It was all about the jerseys they wore. Though Flacco caught fire in the 2012 playoffs, he was carried there by his defense during his own mediocre, unreliable play. Though Biden led convincingly in the polls throughout the 2020 general, he was carried there via the Democratic establishment forming ranks around him.

In the Super Bowl, Flacco matched up against Colin Kaepernick, who, despite his very strong numbers, was eventually completely shut out of the league on account of radical sociopolitical views that, in the judgment of the establishment, their base was not ready for. Hold on, Im going to grab a glass of water.

Jon, you absolute card!

Article also says that Jason Concepcion and Haley O'shaughnessy both left over a pay dispute. Kind of unreal that they'd try to cheap out on Jason of all people, he's all over their podcasts. I thought Binge Mode got super grating after the first few episodes but it's really popular and Desktop won a dang Emmy.
