Did anyone listen to Juliet and Wesley? Wtf, the levels on their mics aren't even close to even. Isn't HBO bankrolling Channel 33? They can't spare an intern to adjust the audio??

Listening to today's Cousin Sal podcast...

of COURSE Bill's phone ringtune is Snoop and Dre's "Still D.R.E.," that absolutely cracks me up

lol simmons basically said if you can correctly predict the teams that perform way above Vegas expectations before the season then you can make a lot of money. I'll have to try that next year!

This general strategy also works in season, too. So no need to wait.

Not exactly sports-related, but Barnwell writes about losing 125 lbs in a year: https://medium.com/@billbarnwell/the...cc5#.85smkdfe7

He claims that his before shot is a deliberate attempt to take the worst photo ever, but we all remember his old headshot. He could do so much worse.

saw this on r/nba, someone put together a (crappy) website that links to former grantland writers current pieces.

http://www.imissgrantland.com/

probably couldve come up with a more clever name than that imo.

ttyl, about to get my REMBERT fix.

10 minutes into the latest one and:

1. Boston is some unique snowflake
2. Simba is hellbent on prosecuting this Peyton HGH thing

I like barnwell. I didn't realize he was a fatty. He did seem less than confident in the horrible podcasts that I almost always listened to for some reason,

Listening to a Simmons-Klosterman pod voluntarily is one of the stupidest things a human being can do.

Well Boston is actually a unique snowflake. This is not necessarily a positive thing.

Lol the cauldron posted a ****ty attempt at a takedown of barstool this morning and barstool got bought by an investment firm this afternoon and is acquiring an NYC office. Not really a barstool fan but I think they won this blog fight.

Bah.

I have no interest in anything written by anyone who writes for Barstool but they are (were) an excellent resource for any and all NSFW shenanigans that mainstream outlets would never run (aka the best thing about the internet). My personal favorite was the Vanderbilt sorority girl in a photo booth at a formal - posing with a dick in her mouth. Oh, and the photo booth happened to be uploading all images to Facebook.

First Vice got castrated and now Barstool. I'm not enjoying watching fun die on the internet.

Simmons hasn't had much variety in his guests because he can't bring anyone from ESPN on.

Joe House seems to be trying way too hard now as well. Only pods I really like are the ones with JackO.

Klosterman had some good ones years ago but his shtick is old.
