The Ringer is Live

I read it a lot when Game of Thrones is on.

 

For what exactly? I'm genuinely interested. I like a lot of their sport-specific writing. The pop culture stuff is just garbage to me.

 

It's almost like people can like different things.

 

I read a lot of the TV stuff, especially Game of Thrones. Yesterday I read their MLB trade deadline grades. I'm a pretty casual follower of the NBA, but wind up clicking on a decent number of their NBA posts. I really enjoy Mark Titus on college basketball.

 

It'd be a lot better if everyone just gave me what I want!

 

Are you only allowed to write for the site if you're a millennial? Is that the deal?

 

No.

 

Welp, looks like Simmons has burned bridges with Michael Rapaport, who just went scorched earth on Simmons

Michael Rapaport Ripped Bill Simmons and His HBO Show After Un-Responded Texts

 

That's unfortunate. It seems like those two are kindred spirits who deserve each other.

 

Bump to note that there must have been some sort of reconciliation between ESPN and Simmons. He appeared on Zach Lowe's podcast today, and Dave Jacoby appeared on Juliet Litman's Bachelor Party podcast.

 

Skipper being gone probably helps. Simmons and Conner Schell (the new ESPN head of content) are old buddies. They created 30 for 30 together.

 

I think they did the same thing last year as well
