Even if you somehow bought into this dubious idea of there being fewer great specialists than QBs, Fouts would still be an idiot for choosing Guy over Devin Hester.

[ ] got a great quarterback down the road

He could have selected himself and got a better QB. I think Fouts like Marino might be even better in the modern game than they were back then.

Looked up Fouts' stats and while he played 5 more seasons after his age 31 strike shortened '82 campaign where he averaged 320 yds/gm he never played a full season and started only 57 more games due to various injuries.

The '81 Chargers are one of the greatest offenses ever. They averaged 6.0 ypp and gained over 6700 yards.

The Fouts Chargers also hold the NFL record for most consecutive games of 400+ yards of offense with 11. The Brady Pats of 06-07 are second with 9 and the 99-00 Rams with Warner are third with 8.

Fouts went undrafted in that abomination.

House of Carbs was completely terrible. Made it halfway through Episode 1-

House is obnoxiously infllecting his voice for no reason. Seriously WTF. House of...CAAAAAAAAAARRRRBBBBEEESSS

Had some Bob Appetitt guy on for 20 minutes which featured 5 minutes of voice inflected introduction, 5 minutes of instruction on how to make a caprese salad, and then 10 minutes of talking about a steak on the guy's Instagram which the handle was mentioned like 5 times.

Got maybe 5-8 minutes into Juliet Lipman's FOOD NEWS in which her and House expressed their outrage over a new food hall in California because it should be called a food court

One of the worst podcasts I've heard in my life.

Thanks for taking the bullet for me, mullen.

The new 30 for 30 podcast on the silent partner/advantage play mastermind in the Phil Ivey baccarat edge sorting scandal was a pretty good listen. Lady sounds like a badass.

I've liked them

The Athletic is making serious moves.

What is that.

Also I noticed Kevin O'Connor and Bill Barnwell both sound a lot alike, and both are Boston guys (not sure if they grew up here tho), but their accent is nothing like anything I've heard.

Tbh I hate Barnwell so much it affects me when hearing KOC.

The Athletic is a subscription based site. They've had Chicago, Toronto, and Cleveland sites for a while, recently launched a Detroit site where they've made a bunch of great hires. They're launching a Bay Area site and hired Tim Kawakami to run that. They just hired Stewart Mandel to run their NCAAF site and they're apparently going to launch a Philly site too. They're getting really high quality people and a lot of new subscribers as a result. Under $30 a year (gets you access to all sites) with their constant promo codes. No ads and really quality writing across the board.

The subscription/patreon model certainly seems to be the future of digital journalism.

Has anyone else noticed Bill Simmons' weird hatred for David Griffin? He has gone after him now on three different podcasts.

To be fair he's right with Griffin.

Griffins seems really chummy with all the media and gets a lot more credit than he deserves. If you break down his history as GM and as assistant GM before that the track record is mediocre outside of signing Lebron which I don't give him much credit for.

Lebron is basically the GM of that team and they have zero cap flexibility to do anything interesting. The media lauded him after he wasn't extended because they knew he is battling cancer.

It just seems like a weird take for Bill to be so angry about. It feels personal. He has mentioned it on three podcasts.

Haven't listened to many lately but John Taffer on PMT was great. He was just ****ting on big cat being a fat **** the whole time.

How are the Celts doing against Cleveland recently? There's your answer.

Was dying laughing when Simmons pulled Tate on the mic at the end of the House/KOC pod to affirm his view on the Kyrie situation after the others disagreed with him. Old yes man House's shocking betrayal forced him to bring in a younger yes man.

I shut that pod off part way through cuz KOC was arguing like a TZer circa 2003. His complete denial of all the bad data surrounding Kyrie as head honcho was lol bad.

Simba prolly spammed his email with like a million brilliant 7-team trades (subject: WHO SAYS NO!?!) and Griffin finally told him to **** off

The Ocho is becoming a real thing apparently

thats for august 8

which it seems is today

Why would they put Trampoline dodgeball on at 4 am

Demolition Man would be an all time classic if they'd just avoided casting Stallone.

Why are these tools playing frisbee on TV?

I like the sound of Moxie Games

Trampoline dodgeball is elite to play and probably just as fun to watch

Lol 4 am time slot
