Has a show called "Courtside at the NBA finals" about to air..... 2 weeks after the finals....

I just wonder which smug, 24 yr old Bolshevick morons he has on as his sidekicks?

They aren't Bolsheviks bruh

The Bolsheviks believed revolution could be achieved with murder. These are pacifist betas.

Bolsheviks weren't douche bags.

They killed lots of scum.

I just came to bash Simmons and his terrible television presence, hell I already changed the channel 3 minutes in.

The poli board can have the thread, but I'm off to watch The Challenge.

From what I could tell, it was just a bad version of nfl films (but no actual payers mic'd up) intersliced with Simmons podcast shows during the finals.

Even with high quality cinematography, he's still very very strange on TV.

Speaking of Russia though, there's apparently a new REAL Sports tonight and they look into Putins old style athletics mentality and disappearing officials... Looks interesting, hopefully it captures just a little of the magic that "Icarus" did.

Yes I'll believe a Real Sports doc about Russia.

Keep eating the propaganda.

this is just odd. I guess it doesn’t help that this was a super uninteresting finals but still this is bad
Going back to the stros game

Honestly thought Simmons would do better without ESPN but I don’t think that’s even close to the case.

Does anyone outside of Boston care about him anymore other than a tidbit here and there?

His podcast, especially when Kevin O’Connor makes an appearance, is fantastic and his website is 100% responsible for bringing the Colangelo burner account thing to light.
