I’ve listened to his podcast a couple times during the playoffs and shyts excruciating. His episode with Lowe where they were talking about moves in the offseason weirdo was trying to start rumors that Embiid and Simmons wouldn’t be happy with Lebron in Philly

Hope this fails too

Was listening to the podcast today and I'm :blessed: because he took a huge gamble to do his own thing and now look. I just think it's pretty cool :manny: I know folks hate him around here but I've been a fan of his for awhile and I like to see someone get a win in the end against a corporation that did them dirty :pachaha:

and he somehow ducked the #metoo accusation against the guy he started The Ringer with :skip:. This was at the peak of broads just calling out everybody. The guy just got completely ghost and the shyt died down :russ:
that isn't what he said/suggested/etc

He wants to do an NBA preview show with Jalen Rose. Probably on the podcast.

The content that doesn’t involve him is good. GM Street, pretty much all of their NBA content, their tv and movie stuff is solid as well. shyt as evident by the Philly scandal their investigative journalism is on point as well. Everything that isn’t Simmons is really good.

My personal favorite stuff is the GM Street podcast. It’s one of Billicheck’s guys from the patriots back in the day and one of the ringer guys. If front office shyt interests you you’d enjoy that. Wish they’d do something like that for soccer.

Simmons had one good interview on his podcast and that was with the Cavs Old GM. If you like the NBA I highly recommend that interview.

His HBO show was garbage, The Ringer website is garbage, he doesn't write anymore and now his podcast is starting to fall off too :hhh:

He's trying to be Cowherd light with his podcast monologues, that shyt is trash. He's surrounded himself with yes men, before he would regularly have knowledgeable guest who would challenge his asinine ideas. It's obvious that he pretty much only watches Celtics play regularly because all his opinions are based on how a team/player played against Celtics. Bill is turning into Rick Reilly in his ESPN years :francis:


When Mike Francesa shyts on you in an NBA conversation you should re-evaluate your life.

All the execs that hated him at ESPN are gone (Skipper, etc). If you listen to his podcasts you can tell that he and ESPN are back on speaking terms atleast due to him being able to have ESPN personalities on the podcast. He's been on Lebatard and Zach Lowe's podcast since the playoffs started. In return, he's had Windy, Zach Lowe and Jalen on his podcast. What he hinted at today was he's working behind the scenes to get permission to do the NBA Season previews with Jalen like they used to do. He made it clear he wasn't coming back to ESPN but is willing to do a partnership with them if it gives him access to Jalen again.

The nba ringer guys aren’t horrible but Simmons somehow managed to find the few men on earth who have less testosterone then him.

All those dudes can’t be straight especially Chris Ryan and that little Philipino dude
