Good to hear Simmons say what everyone knew, that Reilly podcast was a farce.

Good to hear Simmons say what everyone knew, that Reilly podcast was a farce. Love it when Simmons is like "I have no hard feelings toward Rick, we're good." and then spends the next 10 minutes talking shit about him. |

Never paid much attention to Jay Glazer, he was just always there. What a blowhard. Jesus.

Never paid much attention to Jay Glazer, he was just always there. What a blowhard. Jesus. Yeah this is a skipper for me. I got about 5 minutes into Katie Nolan's 'Garbage Time' podcast with Glazer and was out. I find myself skipping a lot more Simmons podcasts these days. I think part of it is that he doesn't have access to ESPN talent. But part of that is the content and the complete lack of an editor. The worst is this new thing he has where he complains about the "hot take-o-sphere" of modern sports media and then proceeds to psychoanalyze Lebron. Or complain about snark online and then crack jokes with Chris Ryan about how terrible the entire NBA is. Still, as long as Cousin Sal is in the regular rotation I'll keep coming back. But yeah, no more Jay Glazer please. |

I like Jacko and House and Sal and his friends, but he has nobody on now who is willing to disagree with him. They always, especially House, agree with everything. Zach Lowe and Barnwell and some of those ESPN guys had no problem disagreeing with him or correcting him. It made it more interesting.

LOL I listened this morning.
What, you don't like the hick accent or sounding like it's a local radio feed?
I didn't think it would happen, but Simmons leaving ESPN has completely dried up the talent pool he's bringing in.

It sounded like one of those awful AM/FM radio postgame shows. Should I keep giving it a chance? Thankfully there are no shortage of b-ball podcasts out there. The Dunc'd On Podcast is really interesting, but man oh man, does he ever get into the weeds. We're talking two hours per podcast on things like the CBA and salary cap math. IOW, stuff I eat up but I could imagine normal humans hating. |

I'll stay subscribed only for Sources Say. That's a fun podcast to drive home to.
I'll listen to a few more of Vernon when the season starts, maybe that will give him so direction, but if it doesn't improve I'll just skip his.

Read a NYT story on Simmons this morning, apparently The Ringer's numbers are dropping pretty dramatically. I unbookmarked the site a few months ago, and unfollowed on FB. Bringing in Obama's speech writers was bad enough, but going all in for Hillary was too much. I swear to god, half of the web site was nothing but politics. Even the sports stuff was much lower quality. There are occasionally some good sports articles on there, but they get tweeted so I find them. I don't understand the direction they chose to go in, but hey, it's his site. www.nytimes.com/2016/11/14/sports/bill-simmons-hbo-any-given-wednesday-ringer.html |
