"Top it with what, a hat?" Very underrated joke.
Or just not that funny.
It was funny
Lol, yes :)
Pretty good for a broad
"'Top it with what, a hat?' Very underrated joke." Very overrated comment.
What people don't realize is that Bill Simmons made a lot of the popular shows now on ESPN.
D Smoove ESPN went down hill when Bill LEFT, now they really seem anti white... having guys who hate white people like Stephen Jacksoff on pushing his white/ european Hatin propaganda.
@@VirantRoss lol Stak isnt anti white. He just keeps it real.
What shows did Simmons make?
@@thsu8 Jalen and Jacoby, 30 for 30, you can count bringing Zach Lowe to ESPN, and the list continues
The Podfather!!
One of the greatest sports personalities ever. This man put so many people on and created so many great shows
captain save LeHoe the podfather!
He's created a lot of great content. Grantland was truly special and I listen to a lot of Ringer podcasts, but he's far from a great personality. He's one of those dudes who thinks he's really smart when in reality he doesn't know a whole lot.
ah i see you've taken him giving a lot of his opinions to mean he must think he's really smart and a few of his blunders to mean he's dumb. keep up the good work drew
@@austintrummel1945 lolol did I hurt your feelings?
did i seem upset? just pointing out a bad comment
Bill Simmons real af. He doesn’t care what people think he’ll always say whatever is on his mind whenever he wants.
Andrew Garfield he cares oh yea he cares
WP ran out for him
Dude dishes it out but cant take it.
Someone who does that in the real world is called an asshole.
@@deepaksomesula3168 Just like Skip Bayless but a certain bred of "fan" like that. They like when people more accomplished at a sport than they'll ever be at anything are taken down a peg by someone just as ordinary as them.
Jalen rose and bill was gold back in the day too
nba preview was crazy good lol
What happened to jalen bill and Jacoby was downright tragic. They interview mike Tyson like it was nothin
their summer previews... omg
Absolutely! Grantland was my go to
@@goseeaboutagirl Yessir! Those were the days!
Bill is the GOAT.
Ringer > ESPN
The title of this video is still cringy as F ESPN.
Ringer not doing so hot on RUclips. Like 20 likes and comments combined max for every uploaded vid.
Ringer is DOA, Bill has never recovered and that's why his HBO show failed and the ringer sucks.
Kruppt808 he hired too many super dork nerds and thought people would like that
@@GuitarD30 yea people like scam artists like stephen a, and skip
They need a 30 for 30 on why ESPN hates Bill Simmons.
He wanted to act like he is a free lancer but he was an employee of ESPN and he took shots at Roger Goodell for silly reasons, they told him not to do and say certain things and he choose not to listen. He's never recovered career wise.
🔥
@@Kruppt808 how hasn't he recovered? He has a successful podcast and podcast network. He is his own boss and answer to no one
Well that's incredible, not a single thing you said there is correct.
@@Alexvic222 Grantland and Ringer, say what you want about BS, he is a good businessman 😂
Bill Simmons COULD REALLY WRITE, his pieces were so enjoyable, I still haven't managed to find a substitute.
pancon5 for real
Chuck Klosterman is just as good, but he doesn't talk about sports as much as pop culture in general. Incidentally Chuck wrote the Wilt Chamberlain section in Bill's Pyramid
Zach Lowe!?
@@BabylonGateLA Zach Lowe is fantastic, delving even deeper into the minutiae of the game, but I miss Bill's sense of humour.
@@pancon5 You know what? Im a die hard Lakers fan, so I suppose to hate Simmons, but he’s the only Celtic fan that I really like lol. I just love how he is so smart about basketball back to the 60’s 70’s 80’s, so I understand what you’re talking about especially when he does a podcast with Ryen Rusillo its so funny! Have you listened to the Lowe Post podcast? I think Zach shows a more funny side of him!
Bill Simmons is a freaking legend. The guy is really underappreciated as a buisnessman in the industry. The guy invented Grantland and 30 for 30, and now The Ringer is awesome. Salute.
Amazing writer back when he actually wrote
Get that c*ck outta your mouth.
He has 100s of millions. He’s appreciated just fine 😂
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.
ESPN has gone downhill since Bill Simmons left.
It has but not necessarily because he left
Because skip left
@@eyeconqueror1185 that’s true, but ESPN kinda started dying in the mid 2010s, and then kinda died in like 2018, 19
Despite him being a nasally Boston homer and notorious Kobe hater for years, Ive always loved Bill because he's forward-thinker that wears his heart on his sleeve. He stayed true to himself and his career took a hit because of it, but at least he didn't sell his soul like most of the lame analysts on ESPN now. I miss his weekly email response column and what grant land could have been.
When was this clip filmed? James Young was signed by the Bucks on 9/17 but he was cut 3 days later. So there was a 3 day window where Katie was right about James Young being on the Bucks.
Bernie Wen I was thinking the same thing. It seemed like a trick to make him seem like he doesn't know what he's talking about by saying James Young is in the NBA. He's in and out of the G-League. Without looking it up right before going on air no sports fan or analyst would be expected to know that.
I knew him as a soso sports personality but rediscovered him as the undisputed podfather.
Frank San Nicolas you mean Adam Carolla?
Bill Simmons is so damn cool. I listen and read about everything he does. THE RINGER!!!!
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.
Hey ESPN, you should post more Always Late clips.
Damn right
Please! or give her her own program channel
yes need to show more... but Katie was on Bill Simmons pod and she said rules at ESPN and the pay wall content means they can't show to much it might even be a FCC rule
Cancelled
It’s great seeing Bill on ESPN again!
Two of my favorite people
30 for 30 is just about the only thing left on ESPN that I still want to watch.
This is a solid 7/10 rewatch every couple of years.
Love Bill Simmons has such a cool insight that many others just can't get their heads around
ppl dont wanna give him his props but Bill Simmons is a media legend.
The ringer poppin now they showing my mans bill love again
truu
Shouts to bill for a legitimately good swimming reference. The kid who thinks their ahead but it was just a fall start where the kid doesn’t realize it and keeps swimming. Swimmers will know
I love both these people.
Bill Simmons from the Boston 2004 espn film I remember and all the NBA playoff back in day
Bill is a legend...class act!
love these two
Haters gonna hate, Bill’s the absolute best.
Simmons is such a G, even after letting him go ESPN still needs him
Best ESPN in a very long time!
How did they leave the Anthony Bennet Moment Off😂
Never thought I'd see this man back on ESPN ever again
Well the giant piece of shit that owned the company had to step down after someone threatened to extort him over his cocaine addiction.
Why? What he do?
I was skeptical but that was actually pretty funny. Well done.
WOW ! I see why this on at 3 am in the MORNING! Thanks ESPN for not having on during regular hours! LOL!
As someone who is diehard espn fan for years but also big fans of both simmons and nolan i can't believe they have neither of them stayed but glad there both successful.
The writers that have worked for Bill Simmons are some of the top writers in sports and pop culture today. This guy finds the top talent
People sleep on Katie. She’s one of the most entertaining sports personalities in the game
I’d sleep on her
BS is the pod father, his early work for espn laid the foundation for its success in sports coverage. Dude is one of the greatest sports writers of all time. Anyone remember grant land ? Book of basketball ? This mans the truth!!
Gotta love Bill.
I mean I LOVE this guy
I will marry Katie Nolan, right now.
I remember when he did the fist pump I was so weak 😂😂
4:50 that is the most absolutely adorable thing I have ever seen
Isn't it just?!
she is perfect
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.
James Young got waived by the Bucks two days after this video was posted!
Should have asked him about his critisms of the nets trade on draft night XD. I love bill
I loved his 'Any Given Wednesday' show.
Great to see bill back at espn even if its for a day
Slowly dying ESPN sped up the decomposition once this man left the network
I didn’t really understand at 3:45 talking about the decision. Can someone please explain?
The Decision was the best thing for the NBA.
this was a great mix of personalities.
Bill always a sense of humor
Bill's initial reaction to the KG+Pierce / Brooklyn trade, try defending that 😂
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).
True, it's still just funny in hindsight. I mean he made it sound like Gerald Wallace's contract was the end of the world.
Yeah, I forgot about the Wallace contract part lol. Though, on principal alone, hating a contract engineered by Billy King is usually the prudent thing to do.
Can this show go the way of any given Wednesday already.
I miss the Grant land basketball hour so much
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.
2 of my favorite people, the beautiful Katie Nolan, and the returning genius of NBA Bill Simmons. I wish Katie was my wife.
You really don’t wish Katie was your wife. Not wife. Side chick you can leave? Sure
“With what, a hat” 😂😂
Bill Simmons knows basketball we want him back and staying. He's great he knows classic basketball as well as todays
" im surprised they let you in the building " 🤣🤣
I love bill I love Katie and I wish both of them would sub on Pti from time to time
"With what, a hat" is a fucking quality one-liner
“A hat?” lmfao
Dude is a legend.
Where can you get his Dr J t-shirt?
Bill Simmons is awesome. Give the guy a second chance for God’s sake. He’s possibly the best analyst alive.
"he was like 19. he had played 38 minutes in the championship game"
Bill is awesome.
Katie Nolan is so gorgeous, especially her smile
I feel like Walt Disney himself was like, "Katie, if you achieve any chemistry with Bill whatsoever, you fired."
Welcome back bill Espn is changing this is great
She is so damn cute.
Hate him or love him, BS is one of the greatest media personalities ever.
That show was brutal to watch
Hey , thats Any Given Wednesday's Bill Simmons , cant wait for the 2nd season Bill !
I cant believe all of America didn't want to watch him bitch about how unfair everyone is to Boston sports every week
Dude ultimately came out ahead.
ChaCHING!!!
I LOVE YOU BILL
Hey Bill said he would come through after she was on the podcast for a 2nd time lol
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.
4:50 is my new lock screen.
Also, y’all were so off the mark by letting this guy get fired. He’s gotta be one of the most honest & real, sports-literate analysts.
Wow Katie Nolan a snack.
Legod is the best ever Some Legends gots no rings yea i Wana face fuk her
google alison tyler
Snack? Nah
@@jspaceman shes better
I think she pretty average looking. you can walk into any walmart and find 10 women that look just like her
Hot take conspiracy theory: He was going to flip the guy off but then he chickened out midway and transitioned the gesture into the awkward wave that was seen. 👋🌊😁
I love Kaite Nolan!!!
I was just thinking what happened to bill Simmons. He was like top 3 biggest sports personalities
Him and Cousin Sal's guess the line podcast is second only to PMT.
Juss Buckss The Ringer. I barely listen to ESPN anymore. Especially podcast and NBA talk Ringer is so much better honest opinions. Unfiltered Truth over there without ESPN's biased opinions.
@@Dennis-zf7jr ive been listening to guess the line for years thinking i was the only one that listened.
Anthony Anderson KJ Check out my music. I might be better than you expect 👀🎶🎶
@Evan same brother. I even love parent's corner.
The Pod Father rocks
This felt more like an intervention
The GOAT
So, bill simmons will be doing 2019 NBA Draft coverage? 😁
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.
Love Katie Nolan
Bill Simmons is the GOAT
Did he mention Jayson Tatum in this show? If not, i'm impressed.
now we need him to defend 67 wins celtics
I see Katie, I hit like.
Where is the Sage Steele eye roll! Come on Katie!
Seriously, I thought they would bring that up. Disappointing.
Absolutely the first thing I thought of.....
why is the audio so poor?
Hey, painters hats were still kinda cool in 1985.
