Surprised Robert Mays hasn't been snapped up yet considering he's apparently just a "freelancer" at SI. or so he says on his livereads on the much inferior MMQB podcast, anyways.
That Glazer interview was so cringey with how much dumb stuff he was saying. Otherwise been a really good week or two for podcasts though.

There was a moment when he said doctors told him he might have had 60 concussions that made everything about that dude clear.Listened to 10 minutes and deleted that shit. Glazer is the worst.

Lampley one was fantastic. Glazer is a good example of Simbo hypocrisy though (which is usually way overstated). He calls out Mike & Mike and others constantly for softball interviews, and yet he gets someone on who's saying the dumbest shit possible (much of which directly contradicts positions Simbo has expressed) and he doesn't even so much as begin to challenge them at all. Maybe he was afraid of getting beat up I dunno. Glazer seems like a walking meathead concussion.
They stick barnwell and Lowe on the front page now so that they won't leave. I wish they would, but I can't see them jumping ship.
That's one of the very few BS podcasts from over the years that I stopped part of the way in and deleted. I'm not sure if the word cringing even does it justice.
When the whole Grantland implosion happened Lowe made it sound like he had an actual contract with ESPN. If he pushed hard enough they might release him but he's more than a freelancer like Mays.
I've signed up for the Ringer newsletter twice but don't seem to be getting the emails..
And yeah I wasn't big on the Glazer podcast. Felt like a motivational speaking tape at times.

Glazer pod was worth it to hear how he almost beat Peyton manning up with Chuck Liddell
I've only skimmed them, but enjoying theringer newsletters so far. Fun analysis of Spurs-Warriors on this week's. Now I just need a new pod to get Glazer out of my head.
Is the newsletter online anywhere? I have not received it.
Lmao.
Here's me looking at Pop's small-ball lineup:
Imagine challenging someone to a fight because they made fun of Michael Strahan. Maybe Fox should start testing their reporters for PEDs.
For the love of god Bill, please stop talking about deflate gate.
He's going to talk about deflategate, Durant/Love/Random superstar to the Celtics and you're gonna like it
Bill Simmons venture The Ringer is launching its third podcast tomorrow through a partnership with Callaway Golf. The podcast, called ShackHouse, will be focused on golf and hosted by golf writer Geoff Shackelford and Joe House, who is a regular guest on Simmons popular podcast. ShackHouse will air 22 times through the Ryder Cup in October, with Simmons expected to appear occasionally.

He apologized at the end of the eight minutes he talked to the lawyer about it, but I find the way Goddell has basically tried to frame the best player in the NFL very interesting.
Fuck no to Miles Teller. Holy shit that's the worst fucking take I've ever seen in my life, right next to "you know, Hitler had some good ideas, he just went a little too far"
Fuck.
That.
The thing that always makes me laugh is that Simmons makes the argument that a quarterback is thinking about a million different things and that's why they're too busy to think about the ball they'll be throwing

Brady is so smart and detail-oriented and brilliant and laser-focused and obsessed with football, making him the best in the history of sporting events, that he wouldn't think about the details of football.
Teller's the worst. I just don't enjoy watching him. For the record I haven't seen Whiplash which he's apparently great in but I've seen everything else he's done. But, the hot takes cycle does what it must.
Any interest in a Ringer OT? I could whip something up so we don't have to continue using this thread.
Simmons letting his homerism hitch himself to the Brady is innocent bandwagon a little to feverishly. This idea that Brady is super meticulous, and detail oriented and eats, sleeps and shits football 24/7 doesn't really jive with "why would he care about letting a little less air out of the ball?" He's exactly the type that would care. And its unimportant anyway. You can easily make the argument that Goodel mishandled the entire shitshow whether Brady is innocent or guilty. The fact that it became such a huge media firestorm is the failing on Roger's part. That something so dumb was the biggest headline and caused people to call into question the integrity of the league right before the biggest game of the year, so that Roger could play Sheriff again and show everyone how big his balls are, is why he fucked up. It really should have been handled no different than the recent stickum/Dwight Howard thing.
I second a ringer OT.
