Simba's interview with PTA is vv good. Bill says some dumb stuff as usual but it's still worth it. Great comments on imposter syndrome in particular.

Simmonds: What if he became a little too consumed with spinning a certain narrative over presenting a balanced case?
Quote:
DM: Indeed. What if, in his zeal, a writer became so utterly blinded by prejudice and favoritism that he ended up rambling on to the point of outright incoherence? I’ve seen it happen.

The "My Buddy was hanging out with Kraft last weekend and he said it didn't seem like Kraft thought it was true" might be peak Simmons

While Simmons is indeed lol, I was loling at his dumb theories on his podcast, Drew is indeed ultra jelly. Has been for years.

I'm with kc on this one. The Simba column was bad but the Margary follow-up reads as MAD more than anything. Plus, I can suffer a bit of Simmons to enjoy the people on his network that I do like.

There are people on the Ringer that are enjoyable? Literally everyone of this hipster nerds grate me to no end. Simba is nerd city too but I like him in moderation and his core people. I think 2 sports pods a week is perfect amount and not enough to be overkill. Plus Francesa has been a huge get for him and the two of them together is like a train wreck I can't not listen to
