I like Simmons, but fukk that show was awful.

Into the dumpster this goes along with True Detective S2 and Vinyl.

VINYL WAS GENIUS

I was in that thread with you bro, I tried.

Something about that show being the reason Boardwalk Empire was shortened grinds my gears.

Ever since he left E!SPN his career has been on a Massive Downward Spiral.

This is completely false. He is making more money now than ever

the fact that he came up with the idea and got some hungry people to work on the projects is enough to show he has talent. No one at ESPN was thinking about that. No one period.

Meh....idk fam. To me, 30 for 30 was just a more in depth Sports Century. They are good to great when he has legit filmmakers and documentarians making them. You can tell when he was just throwing shyt at the fan (letting Michael Rapapport direct).

thats puppycock

HBO paid more than he ever got on ESPN. He fully owns the ringer and he's making a ton off of his podcast still.

of course. He helped to vet them. That is my point.

And the Knick joint with Rappapport was actually good. I mean Rappapport did that Tribe doc too, so he not that bad.

I do agree the Red Sox one was trash, but that was done through MLB productions.

the show had its moments but overall it was pretty bad. it was a better fit for youtube, not a premium channel like HBO.

you don't get as far as simmons has without being talented but he has to stick to what he's good at and TV is not it. the ringer isn't that good too so idk if he needs to get a new team or get more hands on but something has to change.

Aflecks drunking rant was the only thing funny and genuine about that show...

That is what the premise should have been...get random famous people drunk and let them talk about sports...
