Some type of device with the ability to project moving images onto a screen that can be visibly seen and conceptualized by the human brain will have a bowel movement pass on to it.


Erols 1 month free instant messenger with purchase of participating Kellogg's cereal discs are on deck

man i wish i was older for that stuff back then born in 89 got me to experience most of the lulz tho

 

[blastercombo]

Bruh, aol internet browser? The future is here!!! (1995)

I wonder how much money it actually made. My family had it for years because of the amount of free discs they have out.

Rip ALL PC's though. Viruses everywhere :x

 

[dman14]

[mr marcus]

Good ole aol days


No new bill pods today this **** is gonna blow man

 

[cash money 1999]

I wonder what todays Bill Dont Lie is gonna sound like? I expect him to keep it professional all the way through though and not air ESPN out, at least not this early. Maybe in August, maybe.

I'm sure he is cognizant that Disney can ruin him

The NBA announced a nine-year, $24 billion extension with ESPN/Turner this past October, but before that on a podcast with maybe Klosterman, I remember Bill Simmons speculating on his future, saying that he'd follow whoever has the broadcasting rights with the NBA. He was saying he couldn't ever see himself not being able to benefit off of the resources that that offers and that it just wouldn't work otherwise.

That tells me:

1.) He will be back with ESPN after a sizable amount of time, maybe six months-1 year, for less than the $6 million per year salary he was asking for (according to Deadspin).

2.) He will be with Turner in some capacity. If that, it's important to remember how closely-knit Turner/Bleacher Report are, and Ric Bucher's ties with BR + how good of a relationship Bucher/Simmons have.

6 million is a tax right off for them , I think that situation may have just spoiled
Simmons to turner makes sense

March madness on tnt, tru,tbs , cbs
NBA on TNT
HBO he could get a 30 minute weekly

he could do a podcast on his own and write for his own site or get a column somewhere else .

 

[Benny Hinn]

I dont think it was a coincidence TNT briefly showed him on TV last night. I'm sure he's getting offers from everyone. I think he takes the high road and quietly moves on. He still has friends there and doesnt want to burn any bridges.

Plus I selfishly want Cousin Sal back on the pod once football season comes back 

 

[DsLee]

I'm expecting the first pod he does after all this to be

It may even be reminiscent of Dan Lebatard's Miami Heat rant from the first Finals appearance of LeBron/the Heatles where dude was putting people on blast...

 

[tomdiginson]

Jalen and Jacolby better bounce with Bill. Grantland should die now

He's making one?!

 

[cash money 1999]

Them trying to find out how much babyface buyout was

 

[mgrand15]

The only reason Bill is quiet right is now is because he's writing an 80,000 word diss article about ESPN. No doubt in my mind he's firing shots left and right while fielding offers on his phone all day.

 

[johnnyredstorm]

doubt simmons even discusses this issue. you dont fire shots at a mammoth like ESPN/Disney and expect not to feel ramifications. Other networks won't look kindly at that behavior.

that broad with the week in sports thing on Fox Sports opened the show with "the future home of bill simmons"

this katie nolan chick is cute. she can catch it.

 

[herbshuttles15]

i wanna work for Fox Sports now

I was just hoping he would. I like my current rotation of podcasts and this news hinders it

Naw, I need pop the trunk

Richard Deitsch had a source say that Simmons will be in effect on permanent vacation until his contract runs out at the end of September.
