Isn't Simmons married?

Being married has stopped exactly 0 creepy people from being creepy people. This is the guy who told Lena Dunham that he's totally not chauvinistic anymore but totally would gently caress the Williams sisters.

She got her show as a direct result of Bill Simmons trying to hire her away from Fox to work on Grantland/

I think he sees Nolan as Bill Simmons 2.0. They're both from Boston and they both broke into the sports business through similar paths -- Bill was bartending and writing his Digital City blog and Katie was bartending while doing videos for that content farm. So it makes sense that Bill would try to be a mentor for her.

I found this to be a pretty decent read on UFC. The stuff about Conor McGregor not so much but more why the hell are UFC pushing Saige Northcutt and Paige Vanzant.

I have a lot of silent time to fill in my days, I have no choice but to listen to the Simmons podcast! And anyone who did would probably agree, it seemed kind of awkward, but it was still a good podcast and I will watch whenever he goes on her show or her podcast or whatever they were talking about.

Apparently he's been tested three times already by USADA. They've been catching people for things that fighters aren't normally getting hit for due to weird test times. I'm not convinced he's always been clean with a physique like that, but right now he probably is.

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.
There is so much insufferable Boston Idiocy in the Simmons/Nolan convo that conversation but it's also charming in a way.

Katie Nolan deserves credit for being a Boston sports fan who isn't insufferable, and that's no small feat. Even Charlie Pierce couldn't go two paragraphs without whining about Deflategate in the last days of Grantland.

This is 100% cool if that's what she believes in. 'Bodyshamers' is a thing? I guess that's what I was being a few posts ago? Maybe the world needs more male athletes wearing less clothing :shrug:
