⁠Bill and Connor Schell got the idea for “30 for 30” from the 1999-2007 ESPN program “SportsCentury.” Simmons’ just expounded on an already Peabody award winning framework built by that aforementioned program. And SportsCentury was more than just the Top 50 athletes of all time series. They documented such topics as “The Flu Game”, “1972 Olympic Men’s Basketball Final”, “1985 NCAA Championship Game”, “1999 Ryder Cup” and various other topics & athletes. Michael Husain was the writer/director.

I knew him as a soso sports personality but rediscovered him as the undisputed podfather.

Hi ESPN, this is what the people need on their TV's. FS1 was willing to do it, so maybe add this to ESPN/2. The title makes sense, Katie just goes on after whatever sporting event is on. So she is always late.

I really thought they were going to bring that up, but it's defensible I think. Bill was a "Ride or Die" fan with the Bird-McHale-Parish Celtics, not a huge surprise that he hated the KG-Pierce Celtics being broken up, at least in how he initially reacted to it right off the bat. He's a fan first and foremost, and he had a strong emotional connection to those guys, especially Pierce. I'm a Spurs fan, I'd have had the same initial reaction if "later years" Tony and Manu had been shipped off for future draft picks (though our front office has earned a whole lot of trust, and yeah that includes the Kawhi-Uncle Dennis drama).

Haters gonna hate, Bill’s the absolute best.

The Decision was the best thing for the NBA.

this was a great mix of personalities.

At least with Bill Simmons he says what he means at the time based on his true opinions not politics, hype, or money based concerns. I’m sure he regrets some things he says, but his honesty is refreshing especially in these corporate sales job cryptic times.

Bill always a sense of humor

"With what, a hat" is a fucking quality one-liner

I feel like Walt Disney himself was like, "Katie, if you achieve any chemistry with Bill whatsoever, you fired."

That was great. I already liked Katie Nolan after being on simmons podcast last month (apparently she's been guest on many simmons podcasts but I didn't listen to them), now I am a fan.

Man I really thought James Young was going to be a very good player. I am with Simmons here. Good shooter, decent athlete, very young and good size for his position. I still think he had the potential to be a good player but didn't work hard enough to reach that potential.

Where can you get his Dr J t-shirt?

James Young is not on the bucks. He was cut a year ago! He then was on 76ers, played there some games in nba and g league but he was waived there too and he's not right now in the nba. And if you wanted Bill to defend his take you should show him his reaction to the nets-celtics trade.

Hey Bill said he would come through after she was on the podcast for a 2nd time lol

This felt more like an intervention
