Who will the MSB side with?

quote:

At the start of Tuesday’s episode of his eponymous show, Dan Le Batard revealed that Torre will be making an upcoming appearance on Simmons’ podcast amid their ongoing feud. The drama stems from Simmons’ criticism of Torre’s recent reporting regarding Bill Belichick and Jordon Hudson, which prompted the Pablo Torre Finds Out host to publicly invite The Ringer founder to join his show.

“Pablo Torre will be appearing on Bill Simmons’ podcast here,” Le Batard casually mentioned at the start of The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz before further dissecting the sports media beef.

Torre’s upcoming appearance on The Bill Simmons Podcast comes one a week after the Boston native took aim at his fellow ex-ESPNer during the May 27th episode of The Rewatchables. While discussing the 1973 film “Heaven Can Wait,” Simmons saw an opportunity to slam Torre’s reporting regarding Belichick and Hudson, as well as his subsequent media appearances regarding college football’s most famous couple.

“Pablo Torre would’ve done a long podcast about Leo Farnsworth trying to practice with the team, and then done a media tour about it afterwards,” Simmons said. “I’ve never seen anybody dine on a stupider story for a week and a half while pretending you’re a journalist. What the f*ck was that? Seriously.”

“Belichick’s dating a girl. ‘Oh, let me do nine shows about it,’” he later added. “Settle the f*ck down.”


quote:

“Dear @BillSimmons: Since you have such a strong public opinion about my work… I happen to have a few questions for you, specifically,” he wrote while quote-tweeting Awful Announcing’s story on the comments. Unless you’re afraid of @pablofindsout and someone just ‘pretending to be a journalist,’ of course. Thanks, Pablo.”

Simmons has become a fart sniffer and is demonstrating that by playing journalism police here. Nobody has a problem with Belichick banging a girl 50 years younger. They do have a problem with it when Mr. "do your job" lets it creep into the workplace. So, I am inclined to take Pablo's side here. That said, the media has been waiting decades for payback on Belichick's shenanigans, so there is some of that in play. But, Belichick opened the door.

Torres and leb a tard are the worst. And Simmons likes to play every side, get his nose dirty. Then try to hide from the heat his opinion gets.

Simmons has always been a chirper

I don’t agree with Simmons on a lot of stuff but I do appreciate he’s not a pussy. I have to assume Torre will get on a be a limp wristed bitch and get bullied, because that’s who he is

Simmons is definitely that he won’t bring this up again directly outside of vaguely blaming “the aggregators” for the controversy

Probably Bill.

Pablo Torre has bootstrapped vague rumors and innuendo into a "story" that has gotten national media attention, but has presented nothing tangible to support his contentions.

For example, his claim that UNC banned Jordon Hudson from campus was completely false. He had no supporting documentation or credible sources.

For someone who dug up that the Ring camera footage of shirtless Belichick was from an Airbnb you'd think that Torre would have done his due diligence.

What I'm really curious about is who is actually paying for Dan Le Batard and Pablo Torre to remain relevant. They've been heading down the Keith Olbermann sky screamer path for quite some time.

Modern sports media is trying so hard to be center of attention. They are imitating the athletes, more concerned with creating news than reporting it.

Skip
Stephen A
Ryan Clark

The list is endless really

Bill Simmons might be the worst sports “journalist” (if you can even call him that) that there is. Boston hack. Team Pablo.

Bill has been up Belichick's arse since he thought Kraft didn't give him enough credit in the Pats' documentary. He's also trying to take another shot at Meadowlark. It's typical "we can make fun of our guy but you can't".

I don't think Pablo actually cared about this story that much until UNC refuted him and Jordon started talking shite. Lebatard basically told him the same thing Simmons did although Lebatard is probably getting that from his wife who's 20 yr younger than him.

Simmons is a Boston homer, and Torres is a smirky little bitch who needs his arse whipped before he transitions to his real career as a porn fluffer.
