Pod Father, you've really hit another stride lately. Life comes in waves. Enjoy this ride. Thank you for all of the years of entertainment. You've been appointment listening for me since the birth of the pod. More House. More three man shows. Less gambling (outside of Cousin Sal.) All the best.

We had Yellowstone when you were a kid Bill. It was called Dynasty and it was trash just like all of Sheridan’s cliche, Lifetime-meets-Jackie Collins alleged tv shows. Just stop already.

Thanks for the thoughtful take on expansion - totally agree - I saw Maravich play in New Orleans when I was in college- it was half full - one of the all-time greats. The Deep South cares only about college football- go Seattle! 🚙

This the Best pod outside deep 3 house call🔥

Guest host Rob Mahoney is such an establishment coastal elite woke liberal White Dudes For Kamala puke. He needs never to pontificate on anything other than sports.

From the man who coined the phrase, March 11th for me is officially the podcast that has caused me to smash the unfollow button for this podcast. I loved his writing, liked his podcast but all good things must come to an end. Sal and NFL over unders, the academy awards and Tom Brady on the night Bam goes for 83 and it’s all anyone is talking about. To be fair when this became a straight gambling pod it was already over but this is the end for me. Thanks for the memories sports guy. Adios.

How Pina keeps getting spots on the BS pod but Joel Anderson hasn’t is beyond me. Michael just no-selling college basketball and gambling tells you everything you need to know, and I’m neither a gambler or a big college fan. It’s not his medium at all. Also, if you’re an “I can’t watch college basketball” guy, you better be a real baller—otherwise, it’s embarrassing. Something tells me he can’t dribble with his left hand.

Malcolm Gladwell? Your best friend? Where he at?

A worm with a perm who struggles to pronounce common words but at least he hired Bryan Curtis.

Love the podcast but starting to get worried, please god let there be a worst contracts pod. I’m sure it seems redundant but it’s my favorite podcast of the year!

Thanks for helping me through hard times, Bill. Your ringer podcasts often help me from hating myself too much. I appreciate that. You moved to Netflix. That’s OK. I will watch when I can. Thanks again. Much love

More Guillermo, please. Us DLS fans really miss him!!!

Billy is underutilized at the Ringer. I guess he got hired as a producer but should have absolutely been hired on as an on-air talent. Bald eagles.

But hate the NBA!

I love his enthusiasm for pretty much everything. Great stuff, keep it coming!! But why do we have to watch the ad segments on Netflix when we are already paying for the service? 🤔

I can’t enough of it so hilarious…

bill simmons . BIG Connecticut guy. softest guy to ever claim to be from Massachusetts. his taste in movies looks both ways before it crosses the street

I only listen to the NBA talk on Bill’s pods.

I’m shocked that Bill thinks the line moves to 4. Shocked!

Loyal ringer fan from page 2 & hate the move away from youtube. Clearly a decision for more $ and not for the fans. Rare misstep by Bill. Very disappointing, i wont be watching anymore.

I’m a hoops fan but not a football fan. Nonetheless, Ienjoy listening to your podcast but I tend to skip the NFL episodes or the ones that are mixed NBA with NFL and sometimes i feel like im missing out. Is there any chance you can just have NBA and NFL episodes separately and not have then mixed in one episode? I would love that. Im sure NFL fans that are not hoops fans would love it too.

I wouldn’t listen to this podcast if Bill Simmons wasn’t a well known Boston sports fans. I like the occasional humor and pop culture references. However, episodes are way too long. Simmons’s guests are a mixed bag. For example, Cousin Sal is insufferable to listen to.

I am watching the video version on Netflix right now, husband’s pick. Please do not let your cohost eat during the podcast. Hearing him eat and lick his lips was disgusting. Also, Bill and cohost staring straight at you via camera during the podcast was uncomfortable. Other podcasts have the speaker and cohosts and guests angled and it makes for a much more pleasant viewing experience.

Also just one episode focus on hockey a year would be cool. This is the best podcast out there. No debate.

Love the pod but Schrager’s gotta go. Don’t know how much more I can take his school girl giggling and pretentious name drops. Not to mention his asking a question just to hear his own answer so Bill can pretend to be intrigued. Dude’s insufferable.

Salute to PodFather

This is the first, best and greatest sports pod. But please, please, please never waste my time with Chris Russo again. I’m an educated person.

My favorite, I need this podcast like I need water and oxygen.

Bill, you HAVE to find a way to make Mad Dog a recurring guest or have him on more regularly. You two have real chemistry, and listening to you both talk about sports history and relating it to modern day sports is fantastic.

Another NFL season almost over. I’ve been listening to Guess The Lines for several years now and, without question, it’s one of things I most look forward to and will miss when it’s done. To 2026-2027, may we all be here for it!

Hey, Bill. It’s Jody. Big fan, despite being diametrically opposed in fandom (Knicks, Seahawks). I really love your show. But remember yesterday when you were talking to Shrages and House and you said you didn’t trust the Seahawks offense? Listen, you weren’t wrong at tge time. I agreed. Out loud. But DAMN. They showed us tonight.

In response to latest NBA pod with Kon on, you say Siakam is an average player. That is one of the most casual statements I have ever heard. Has won a title, helped carry the Pacers to game 7 of the NBA finals last year, was an All Star last season and was clearly a top 25 player in the NBA. Has even better stats this season for yes a bottom team that has battled horrible injury luck the entire season and has played way more 10-day contracts guys that any other team. So explain how this man is an Average player.

Bill is fun, House is the best, it’s mostly a sports gambling pod that isn’t concerned with the social consequences or context of any topic. If you don’t gamble there’s not as much there for you as other places.

Guess the Lines upload later than Sunday night now. Is this becuz Neflix deal ??? 🤙

SO BORING!

It great to hear Billy on the pod today. He was one of the favorites when I used to Lebatard. Look for to more of him for sure!!

Yessss always need more Billy. Been too long with none Billy

Cott time Like BS best when guessing lines with the Cous, sadly Spotify is complicit in the downfall of American democracy

Please stop leaning on your favorite cliches that describe so much less than you think. Frisky, Island, Bingo card, Zag, Holding my stock, so-and-so doing so-and-so things. Please, a little effort expressing yourself instead of just the nearest hacky phrase.

Cousin Sal and Bill are the best

It’s easily the worst part of the shower and the stories are borderline embarrassing for you as a parent

I listen to every episode of this podcast with Cousin Sal.

Only note I have is more Verno impressions. Update: sports gambling is cool and all but making it your whole character for a whole season is a drag. More legler. Less cous.

I truly hope the Ringer 107 becomes a yearly thing! Fun to play along and hear insider considerations in a super contest equivalent. Please keep it going next year!

The standard in sports pods. Simmons makes it seem so easy. Miss the chemistry with Russillo. Favorite duo (the Cuz close second). Also Rob Mahoney and J Kyle. Great guests. Kimmel? How about we pass. Same for “Legs” and the seemingly always annoyed Lowe

Bill Simmons is truly one of this century’s dumbest “thinkers”, and his podcast is an insult to anyone with even a modicum of sense or intellectual interest. But this podcast is what happens when a bunch of idiots with too much money give gobs of their cash to someone who couldn’t think his way out of a wet paper bag.

Bill is a legend- House is fine but he’s not a primary guest, said with love- he’s a nice add on from time to time… kind of like Will Ferrell, great supporting, never primary

It’s year 100 of this podcast and Bill and friends (Sal, Joe) still dont know the difference between a Parlay and a Teaser. I listen for fun but it’s nails on a chalkboard when he “buys points” on a parlay. It’s kind of an important deal.

Heading into week 15 who leads the league in explosive pass plays over 20 yards?Not air yards.

Bill rocks. Awesome to hear Nick Wright on the show today. Two guys that both know their stuff. Great show.
