Welcome to Episode 20! We bring on Dylan from Twitter (@WhiskeyCokeNoice). He reached out to us wanting to give his take on Russillo, being a fellow University of Vermont grad. We explore a bit of Russillo’s origins and wonder why he chose UVM given his interests.
Next we continue this pod’s coverage of The Ringer vs. Grantland. Is Bill really a good judge of talent? Perhaps not - his “coaching tree” looks a little bare. We also hit on how Grantland’s pop culture coverage felt more meaningful yet also broad, whereas The Ringer seems to have a narrow focus on “Prestige TV” that often falls flat.
Next we talk Simmons over the years, including his trajectory into LA Pop Culture Guy, and compare him to another famous Boston sports guy, Dave Portnoy. We discuss which man is more successful, and the differences in how their careers have gone.
