One of my favorite Bill Simmons quirks is that whenever he writes out dialogue about what a broadcaster or commissioner or actor or whatever should have said they always do it in bill simmons voice.

That said simmons being upset that nantz did not reference the band Asia is so funny I can't handle it.

Is there any talent left at The Ringer? One of the things it had going for it was they had some young, talented people doing stuff. Seems like most are gone. I guess Shea Serrano is still there so that's something.

I listen to the Stadio podcasts (Stadio/Wrighty’s House) and intend to read more of what Musa and Ryan write for The Ringer, just don’t get to it enough. I think Shea’s in a slightly different category because he’s remote and only publishing occasionally. So it’s not like he’s one of the people struggling in L.A. on a blogger’s salary.

I watched way too much of that show when it originally aired and will watch a rerun if I come across it. Gemini was a bad, bad man. They better talk about Wesley "Two Scoops" Berry, how awesome he was as an athlete and, uh, everything after.

After 10 games or so, I can say I definitely miss the MLB on Fox theme when I watch the Reds. There’s not much to like with Bally Sports. The score bug sucks, the theme song sucks, the name sucks.

Part the first: Of course Bill Simmons would think the best way to cap the first Japanese man to win a major is to make a racist call about it. I mean, the man grew up in South Boston when there were still race riots over school busing policy. He's apparently one of those people who just never outgrew the casual racism around him. And he thinks it's funny! Part the second: People really should have stopped with sound-bite worthy calls at the climax of major sporting events after Brent Musberger's "This One's for All the Tostitos" quip from I can't remember when because given the moment I'm not sure anyone can top that (off the top of my head).

Michael Baumann is also very good on the baseball side, and Rodger Sherman writes about college sports and does an extremely good bachelor recap.

Adam Nayman is good on the non-sports side of things and I’ve always liked Bryan Curtis even though he has a weird meta-job.

The Press Box pod is an interesting listen, but I feel like I wouldn't even know they were part of Ringer if they didn't mention it.

Fox had the perfect hockey graphic and a great theme (a remix of their old network NHL theme) while the universal Bally theme is just nothing.

They are all teams that once were great and are sick of competition, or are great but don't like constanstantly having to try and wish it were like the NFL where the cheques roll in regardless and winning is only second behind making money. Needless to say I don't like it and it sucks.

The commonality of nearly all those teams is that they’re owned by Americans or crime lords or both.
