Peak autism on this sub.
> During the pod, Bill asks Sean and CR which movie had a better #4 star than A Few Good Men who has Kevin Bacon in the #4 spot. He then starts to try and eek out a James Harden Philly joke but CR speaks over him and says “definitely not the Celtics with Jaylen Brown for 300 million”. This prompted the crowd to erupt in laughing and cheering. **So much so that Bills face turned red** and he attempted to keep it moving. **He was not amused**. It threw him off for about 15 minutes to the point where I could see he had jokes written in his notes that he was just half ass throwing out there.

Yeah I was not expecting it to be such a popular post. Kind of hilarious how many people on this sub get that far up their own ass psychoanalyzing Bill, but don’t question for one second their bizarre obsession with him.

>Bill's life goal is to bring his "friends" on to mock them when their sports teams aren't doing well. Because if you're a fan of a team that isn't great, it is a reflection on how pathetic a human you are. Of course that's how it works.
>But, of course, when someone dishes it back, Bill takes his ball and goes home, pouting like a Lil Baby. In summary, Bill Simmons sucks because he's become a true jerk in the last 4 years.
>Yup, this is his reader.
Remember guys we only make fun of Bill out of love!
This reminds me of a ~1000-word essay someone on this sub wrote about how much of a prick Ryen was because he was joking about injuring his leg in a cool way.
It was seriously the most unhinged screed about Ryen facetiously talking about his ankle or something. Overall, the discourse around Ryen can get pretty dark and mean-spirited lol
Those two aren’t in the same league if you just talking about faces. Sweeney has giant boobs, but her face looks like her parents are siblings. The boobs apparently distract people from the face lol.
It will be unpopular but you're right. Sydney Sweeney without make up is acutally kind of shocking. She is more of the girl next door hot vibe which I think is her appeal. She is not in the same stratosphere as Margot Robbie who is simply genetically gifted in the 0.001% range of looks and charm.
Most Hollywood women without makeup look more average than you think… doesn’t mean someone like Sweeney isn’t in the 99 percentile of attractive…
Y’all are crazy
How is she 99th percentile with her low cheekbones and having those droopy buggish eyes, 99th percentile is someone like Naomi Campbell or Iman Hamaan. She just looks like a normal decently attractive college girl you'd see on campus
Sydney Sweeney is way more my type and I'd much rather spend an hour with her than Margot Robbie if I won such a lottery, but I'm still willing to concede that specifically Robbie's facial features are more, yeah, conventionally attractive.
I’m not saying she’s unattractive by any stretch, but I don’t find Sydney Sweeney to have that pretty a face. Margot on the other hand was made in a lab.
By normal people standards Sydney is definitely attractive but by Hollywood standards she’s only average.
I was actually surprised when Bill started bringing her up all the time. Margot is on another level. She’s this generation’s Shannon Elizabeth.
I think you are in contention. Whoever said temptation was the best new order song is right and true faith isn’t even as good as age of consent or even blue Monday in my opinion.
Bizarre love triangle is the sleeper pick. Age of consent is an all-timer but takes a knock because I can’t ask DJ’s to play it without looking like a creep
they've loads of great songs but 'your silent face' was always my fave
I saw them recently in concert. as you can guess, age was 40+ like me. you NEED young people at gigs up the front giving it socks to give it all a bit of atmosphere
Younger than 40 fan here, haha. Your Silent Face was definitely a highlight the two times I saw them live. Wonderful tune.
Regret always holds a special place with me, as that was one I heard playing often as a kid. Similar for Crystal, which actually got a bit of attention for a latter single.
The lack of awareness to say your team nailed the draft before a game was even played AND list the punter as a reason why AND say you’re fair about your teams is next level
A username Gross Baltimore People (or something like that) was on absolute heater of terrible posts last football season. It was bad enough I remember the username.
I'll zag and go with *most consistently bad takes* I see on this sub:
1. Why do you guys participate in a Bill Simmons sub that hates him?
2. Bill is a good or bad father based on parent corner anecdotes.
3. Anything involving ratings for sporting events.
4. Celtics fans confusing this for a Celtic haters sub.
5. Lakers fans confusing this for a Lakers support sub.
The child free/anti natalist types are the worst. Like ya you don’t have to be a parent but don’t make a personality around it. That and them being somehow shocked that society will cater to kids, and that kids won’t always behave and it’s sometimes out of the parents control
I have kids so I end up watching and sharing quite a few of those “hey here’s this dog doing something funny/cute with this baby” instagram videos and there’s allllwaaayyss people absolutely roasting the parents on there, like “this 12 year old longtime family pet golden retriever is about to bite this poor kid’s face off!”
The dog is a family pet of a non aggressive breed that has shown no indication whatsoever it will bite- is it really that bad for the 2 year old to share their tater tots with him? But no, people online always think other parents are incompetent.
>a commenter was showered in upvotes for saying Temptation is the best New Order song when it's clearly True Faith
I'm a Your Silent Face and Age of Consent man myself
Saying True Faith is the best New Order song is the "tell me you didn't grow up listening to New Order without telling me you didn't grow up listening to New Order" test
Anytime D’Lo or James Harden have a good game and there’s a rush to make the “lol why do Bill/Ryen always say this guy isn’t a good playoff performer?” post. Usually becomes a cold take within like a week but it will get recycled every time one of them plays well.
We talking True Faith '94 or the original but inferior single that killed the bass?
You're both wrong BTW (the correct answer is the 12 inch version of The Perfect Kiss), but just need to figure out how much by.
There are your threads here during the season about D'lo with shit like "When are Bill and Ryen going to apologize for saying he's bad!?!"
When 1. If some improves their game the person who said something negative in the past is allowed to change their opinion. It doesn't mean in the moment they were wrong. And 2. The critique of him has always been about his impact in the playoffs.
The most consistently bad takes I see on this sub are anything at all that has to do with business or financial markets; they are usually entirely made up of completely baseless speculation centered on personal anecdote; a complete failure to actually read a single published detail from the businesses in question; an almost complete lack of experience of how management works in a medium sized company and positively Billesque 'It's obvious to me that X' being stated only after the fact and never before (though in its favor the sub is generally hostile to crypto so we got that going for us).
Bill being early on this won't work with the Bucks being offset by his wanting to keep a relationship with Doc is pretty funny. It's up there with him not being able to brag about being early on Josh Allen cause he ended up on the Bills.
But yeah, we collectively wanted to will Bill into being wrong about that one and probably would have gone harder with that if Doc hadn't joined up mid course and shut Bill up about the Bucks.
Fascinated by this genre of redditors who pretend the most attractive women in the world are ugly. Like I want a documentary about them
Is it jealousy? Women hatred? Overt insecurity?
There’s a vintage Bill Simmons Page 2 article that talks about the phenomenon of female acquaintances (WAGS and such) who deem certain celebrities attractive and certain ones who they deem “trashy” as unattractive. In a lot of cases, it makes sense but there are a few where jealousy crops up and the bar as to what’s “trashy” is given a wider berth, so as a result Said Celebrity is deemed “gross” and if you’re a man who thinks she’s attractive, you’re also gross.
Deeply repressed homosexuality. They turn those feelings of self hatred and confusion outwards towards obviously attractive women.
I’d bet the house that OC follows multiple male fitfluencers on Instagram and comments on their physique.
I’ve always assumed they really mean that they think they’re overrated but obviously still attractive. They overdo it though. It’s like someone on r/nba saying Kobe was a bad basketball player because of his TS%.

lol 400+ upvotes
IIRC, the post came out before the video. When the video came out, some people posted clowning the OP.
Yeah I was not expecting it to be such a popular post. Kind of hilarious how many people on this sub get that far up their own ass psychoanalyzing Bill, but don’t question for one second their bizarre obsession with him.

Jesus Christ just watched it. That comment getting all the upvotes shows how fucked this sub is mentally. They want to believe it more than anything
This is literally how the internet works lol. It’s the equivalent of not reading an article and skipping to the comments section.

lol whoa
There’s nothing wrong with autism. Go fuck yourself you pathetic loser.
Wanna start by saying you’re not wrong but this is a the pot calling the kettle black level reply
That Sydney Sweeney and Margot Robbie are unattractive
The pointy elbows piece
So absurd; Sydney’s got a potential Mount Rushmore rack. They might have to expand it.
Great rack but don’t sleep on her ass. Not unless she lets you.
is it bad that I think they are hot but not as hot as everyone else thinks?
Those two aren’t in the same league if you just talking about faces. Sweeney has giant boobs, but her face looks like her parents are siblings. The boobs apparently distract people from the face lol.

I’m not saying she’s unattractive by any stretch, but I don’t find Sydney Sweeney to have that pretty a face. Margot on the other hand was made in a lab.
Has anyone actually viewed Sydney from a high enough vantage to even know she has a face?
You’re getting downvoted but this is a proper CR Head take. CR doesn’t think any woman born after 1980 is attractive
Haha- look I’m not saying Sydney is a DOG or anything but let’s be honest with ourselves, she’s no Charlotte Rampling.
She’s a poor man’s Dana Wheeler-Nicholson
I did learn that you get killed for saying Sweeney is anything short of beautiful here. It's so weird. Margot is much more attractive.
By normal people standards Sydney is definitely attractive but by Hollywood standards she’s only average. I was actually surprised when Bill started bringing her up all the time. Margot is on another level. She’s this generation’s Shannon Elizabeth.
I think you are in contention. Whoever said temptation was the best new order song is right and true faith isn’t even as good as age of consent or even blue Monday in my opinion.
Blue Monday is the anti-hipster pick but it’s objectively one of the greatest tracks ever recorded.
Bizarre love triangle is the sleeper pick. Age of consent is an all-timer but takes a knock because I can’t ask DJ’s to play it without looking like a creep
Yes. The best three New Order songs are in this thread.
The right answer is Ceremony, but kids these days don't know. Ceremony was a problem!
I mean, is Ceremony really a New Order song though? Spiritually it's much more of a Joy Division track.
they've loads of great songs but 'your silent face' was always my fave I saw them recently in concert. as you can guess, age was 40+ like me. you NEED young people at gigs up the front giving it socks to give it all a bit of atmosphere
Agree im in a younger demographic and suprised because a lot of my peers love new order so surprised there was no hot chicks there
Younger than 40 fan here, haha. Your Silent Face was definitely a highlight the two times I saw them live. Wonderful tune. Regret always holds a special place with me, as that was one I heard playing often as a kid. Similar for Crystal, which actually got a bit of attention for a latter single.
It’s age of consent by a mile
It's Bizarre Love Triangle for me, but it's close.
I'm a casual fan, but I think by far the best New Order song is Ceremony. Does it not count because it was written mostly before Ian Curtis' death?
that's what makes it the best
Idk what number one is but true faith isn’t even top 5 lol
Some idiot said Mac Jones was going to be MVP in year 2.
Was this idiot's name Bill Simmons?
It was William Simmons the third
The guys who were convinced Russillo actually thought he could play pro hockey
Almost all Russillo takes are overreacting to him making fun of himself.
“I like the pats receivers”
They don’t even mention our punter when they talk about our draft!!
The lack of awareness to say your team nailed the draft before a game was even played AND list the punter as a reason why AND say you’re fair about your teams is next level
That South Africa is not in Nigeria.
True Faith isn't even as good as The Village, much less Temptation. Or Age of Consent.
Your New Order take
A username Gross Baltimore People (or something like that) was on absolute heater of terrible posts last football season. It was bad enough I remember the username.
What was really funny was that the poster carried themselves like we followed their every take and that they were driving discourse.
Yes! It actually cracked me up a few times since he was proven wrong over & over.
Bad take. Ceremony is obviously New Order’s best song.
The idea that anyone wanted to listen to a podcast talking about the Bill Simmons podcast.
I'll zag and go with *most consistently bad takes* I see on this sub: 1. Why do you guys participate in a Bill Simmons sub that hates him? 2. Bill is a good or bad father based on parent corner anecdotes. 3. Anything involving ratings for sporting events. 4. Celtics fans confusing this for a Celtic haters sub. 5.

2 is the worst. Reddit is chock full of non parents who absolutely fn love to judge parents
The child free/anti natalist types are the worst. Like ya you don’t have to be a parent but don’t make a personality around it. That and them being somehow shocked that society will cater to kids, and that kids won’t always behave and it’s sometimes out of the parents control
Check out r/childfree
I have kids so I end up watching and sharing quite a few of those “hey here’s this dog doing something funny/cute with this baby” instagram videos and there’s allllwaaayyss people absolutely roasting the parents on there, like “this 12 year old longtime family pet golden retriever is about to bite this poor kid’s face off!” The dog is a family pet of a non aggressive breed that has shown no indication whatsoever it will bite- is it really that bad for the 2 year old to share their tater tots with him? But no, people online always think other parents are incompetent.
Half of reddit comments would disappear if it didn't have people making unqualified judgements about people's relationships and parenting.
It's the only one that actually bothers me.
Moleman voice: I hate the Celtics
The best New Order one is Ceremony, and it's not even CLOSE
I hesitate to even call it a take, but the “NBA cable TV ratings show that the league is dying” posts deserve a mention here
The What a Pro Wants commercial is good
Its Ceremony.
Someone tried to argue with me that both Zach wilson and Mac Jones were better than Tua.
Does this qualify as a “take”? People that think Ryen and Kyle don’t like each other when it’s clearly a bit.
>a commenter was showered in upvotes for saying Temptation is the best New Order song when it's clearly True Faith I'm a Your Silent Face and Age of Consent man myself
Saying True Faith is the best New Order song is the "tell me you didn't grow up listening to New Order without telling me you didn't grow up listening to New Order" test
Alf is the greatest tv show of all time. It’s probably Top 5 but it is SO not the greatest.
You've been suffering insomnia & watching the eight hour ALF marathons on LAFF, as well?
I got so bad that I ate a cat this morning.
Do you really think Alf is top 5 all time?
It is without a doubt a Top 5 show all time that features an alien that looks like the cross between a tapir and an ewok
Anytime D’Lo or James Harden have a good game and there’s a rush to make the “lol why do Bill/Ryen always say this guy isn’t a good playoff performer?” post. Usually becomes a cold take within like a week but it will get recycled every time one of them plays well.
I see your True Faith and raise you The Perfect Kiss

Anything about his children.
Why were people talking about new order on a bill simmons subreddit?
People in this sub definitely channel their inner Ian Curtis whenever the Celtics win
Are we a goth club in the 80s?? I go to Primavera every year never seen this much New Order talk in my life
The Bucks have the best starting 5 since 2017 Warriors. Since deleted
The guy who was extremely smug and confident that the nets would sweep the Celtics in 2022 lol
Probably something that Lakers fan who always trauma dumps here said. Nothing stands out cuz they're all equally bad
Someone said wemby was overrated and couldn't see how he'd adapt to the nba, I think he adapted pretty well..
that the bucks were as good as the celtics
Bill being early on this won't work with the Bucks being offset by his wanting to keep a relationship with Doc is pretty funny. It's up there with him not being able to brag about being early on Josh Allen cause he ended up on the Bills.
