Barkley and Affleck are his guests.

It's a good show, Barkley is entertaining as always, but he's so wrong about so much basketball stuff

People are stupid and think everything is terrible so I'm not surprised. It's not bad. It depends if you like Bill Simmons or not but I like the format of the show.

I'm really disappointed with Simmons in regard to the blatant bias on Keepin it 1600. That has all the makings of being an incredible podcast but the snark and complete pro-HIllary shite at all times really ruins it.

He did make a quip about Trump at the beginning that I figured people wouldn't like.

Simmons isn't on 1600 and isn't responsible for its content

What do you expect from a podcast by a former Obama staffer? Don't like it, don't listen

I don't care for Favreau's opinion and bias so I ignore the podcast

Jacko, hardcore Republican, has been talking for at least a year about how Trump will destroy the Republican party for the next 30 years so not sure how you didn't see that coming.

Yeah I might not watch every week but I'm going to guess he gets good guests almost every week

I love Charles but his greatest players list is wack. Steph Curry commercial bashing was great. As someone who listens to all his podcasts, hearing him bitch about deflategate again was annoying. Give it a rest.

Saw a thread on r/NBA earlier speculating if he has pink eye

Bill puts out great content. Not sure why so many love to hate him.

Watching the first episode now. Barkley's funny but his basketball takes suck.

Here's Chuck giving out his Top 5 of all time. I'd start a thread on here, but it would turn into a 20 page nuclear bomb. People will get mad at this one

I thought it was pretty meh. But its the first episode so I'm sure it'll get better. The Barkley segment was solid and the Steph UA commercial was hilarious, but him and Affleck ranting about deflategate was bad.

I like Simmons but whenever he shifts over to his Goodell/deflategate stuff on is podcast I usually skip ahead. And of course he had to get another jab about his "former employer" in.

Bill is dressed like a guy undergoing a midlife crisis. A t shirt with an unbuttoned shirt is never a good look.

eta: yeah, I hope he's done talking about deflate gate after tonight.

Because people generally overvalue his content. It's not that great. He doesn't know any more than your average job about every sport except basketball and even then he really doesn't have much good to say about the current game because he's so biased it's absurd.

I enjoy his interviews but that's about it.

he gets on my nerves though when he somehow brings everything back to a boston sports team. he always needs to quit saying "we" when referring to his teams. i don't know if he realizes he's not actually on the team.

jimmy butler seemed a little annoyed by him in the last one lol.
