It depends. If he’s a guest on Lowe Post I’ll listen - if he has a great athlete on I’ll listen, Cousin Sal is great, haralabob etc. obviously a big no if he has his Dad on, Lombardi, or other horrific guests.
I actually don’t mind Simmons when he’s not being an insufferable Boston slappy. Unfortunately that comes out a ton of the time. It’s also different from just being a homer because he takes it from a pseudo intellectual position and goes out of his way to pretend he’s not biased. Too be fair, he gives decent interviews and commands good guests on his show. Solo Simmons or Simmons with a bad guest is just unlistenable.
