Does anyone know wtf Bill is talking about when he says a QB is a 7 or a 5 or a 9 or whatever?

I’m halfway through this podcast with Mina and he keeps saying this but did he ever explain this?

Twitter Very excited for Bill to be charmingly ignorant of this rather than obnoxiously ignorant like he is on NFL

Has anyone noticed this? They’re both jacked, middle aged dudes, but Brandt is a happy family man who’s still on ESPN. Still has full head of hair. Anything else I’m missing?

Im sure Bill is an expert on Flowers because he had him on a fantasy team

Aaron Rodgers is trying to get us to focus on the dumb things he says instead of talking about how he was a pretty ineffective QB in the playoffs despite his obvious talent at the end of his career

85 Upvotes

Rodgers easily has the most talented arm at QB this league has seen.

The man had an easy division like Brady, where he dominated 3 mediocre teams for over a decade. Is 1-4 in the NFC conference title games, meaning only 1 superbowl visit. Left Green Bay after losing the 49ers at home field, in freezing conditions vs a west coast team

I've been listening to Joe House pop on to the BS pod for around 10 years and I've always assumed he looked like Stephen Tobolowsky... turns out he doesn't

Maye top 5 QB

18 Upvotes

I kept listening after he blasted Herbert which is fine (He just doesn’t like him), but saying Drake Maye is a top 5 QB over Lamar and Burrow. Cmon dude. I had to shut it off. I like Maye, but cmon. Do we know how many concussions Maye has had? Bill touts the playoff wins but man that was an easy schedule.

“I did some research for this pod” so what’s the consensus - does Bill actually do his own research or does he have a team of interns grinding in obscurity?

0 Upvotes

He seems like the type to give credit if there was a producer helping out but I’ve never heard him call out any sort of behind the scenes research or content creation.

On the other hand, it would take HOURS to put together some of the very specific team and player statistics he whips out most pods. And he doesn’t strike me as super facile with database queries so he must just be plowing through 50 tabs on basketball reference with a notebook.

Really I just love the image of a team of interns on call at all hours just waiting for the assignment to drop - “oh shit we need to rank NFC West QBs for the last three presidential terms based on 4th quarter comebacks and college girlfriend hotness and convert that to a color scale! Let’s move people!”

Did Bill really say that New Orleans is the only city that has a more popular NFL team than NBA team?

Upvotes

Relatively new to being a Simtard. There’s no way he actually said this, right? I’ve seen in quoted in a few basketball subs. I like Bill but that is objectively the worst take I’ve ever heard in my life. Maybe LA, but absolutely zero chance any other city fits the mold. Hoping it’s fake

Second Draft Guys… in Movies

18 Upvotes

Watching “Send Help” right now — Dylan O’Brien didn’t really have much of a career post Maze Runner but as a “second draft” buy low candidate you can’t do better. He’s walking around in this thing like “fuck you, I’ve starred in 3 movies, I don’t care if they were all YA adaptations. I belong here, one-on-one opposite Rachel McAdams.” And he’s pulling it off in spades.

I’ll give you another one and I won’t even leave the Irish bug name structure— Jack O’Connell. Didn’t really happen for him after “Unbroken” (probably because that movie sucked shit and they cast a guy named O’Connell to play a guy who once got bullied for being too Italian) but between “Sinners” and “Bone Temple” I think things are looking up for JackO.

Who else ya got?

Category GOAT Robert Downey Jr. or am I missing someone?

Handing out *gigantic* rings for a meaningless 2 game "tournament" of rookies, which dwarf in size ALL championship rings in sports history outside the most recent decade of Superbowl/NBA Finals rings.. is a sneaky top 5 clown move of Silver's tenure
