Bugg Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 Simmons did manage to get ESPN and then HBO to bankroll his media sites. But mostly his content consists of his overanalyzing the NBA and man love for the Pats. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TuscanyTile2 Posted August 18, 2019 Author Share Posted August 18, 2019 16 minutes ago, Jet Nut said: Well I guess that ever time someone says something I dont agree with I dont run to start a thread because I'm offended that he think Darnold was a top fantasy football pick. The Sox went 100 or so years without a championship. The Mets won their first after existing 8 whole years. Beat his Sox in 86. He should STFU with the Mets when his teams claim to fame is being the whipping boys for the Yankees for 100 years It's not just a "someone". Bill Simmons is probably the top sports media guy in the industry right now (and has been for years). I'm too lazy to look it up but have you ever commented on something Francesa said about the Jets? Or do you criticize people who talk about Francesa? Because it's basically the same thing. Francesa is the #1 NY sports personality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbatesman Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 I’m very much enjoying Jet Nut, who has a Google Alert set up to warn him anytime a JN post is insufficiently gushing, rebranding himself as Cool Dude Whomst Does Not Care What People Say About The Jets. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we win 11 games this season and Sam is up for MP, who the heck will remember Bill Simmons anyway? I know Woody is ambassador, but could this really happen?? @BurnleyJet any thoughts? ?

Top sports guy in the industry, trolling in a podcast that few listened to, other than fantasy football fans? Still who cares? He's got nowhere near the listeners than say Fracessa who no one considers credible. They're trolling for listeners. And realizing that is why I don't give a shlt what they say. And why there is no reason to take sides Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryu79 Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 I love the Ringer for pop culture and sports stuff (especially the Bingemode pod), but find Bill personally annoying. In fairness, he is transparent that he is a NE/Boston sports Homer and the site and his staff mock him brutally when things (like the Celtics) go wrong and several of his editors on the site are Jets fans. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

14 in Green Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 Simmons is a Boston guy, he was a pretty big deal on ESPN with NBA news and commentary until a few years ago. They cut back and he was earning big bucks, so they let him go. LOL at getting upset over a Pats fan rgging on the Jets. We would never do anything like that... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slimjasi Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 I personally really like Simmons, but you just have to remember that he’s an enormous Boston homer. Just think of how sweet it will be to listen to him when the Pats finally fall off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
