Read that as Tree Rollins the first time.Interested to see (hear?) who the special guess on the Three-Heat will be. I'm guessing Trejo or Rollins.
That was brilliant by Sal.Bill: When your kids turn 13 they just kind of stop talking to you, it's just like something goes off in their brain.
Sal: Or you made a segment that millions of people listen too all about you shitting on your kids, that could also be a factor.

I died at that quip, so good from Sal.That was brilliant by Sal.
Would you settle for Michael Mann instead?Interested to see (hear?) who the special guest on the Three-Heat will be. I'm guessing Trejo or Rollins.
Would you settle for Michael Mann instead?
Wow. I was looking forward to a three-heat anyway, but getting Mann should be really good.Holy Shit they got him!
I’m so happy for Chris Ryan right now
Also confirmed that he definitely thinks that it's pronounced "sub-SEE-kwent"I just listened to the Cobra rewatchables, a movie I've never seen. It was an all-timer as far as his botched pronunciations go, and Brandt even tried to reiterate what he had said to help him out, to no avail:
He also continues to do the completely unresearched, "is this the first time we've seen...?" In this case it was nitrous in a car chase. I had just seen the original Mad Max for the first time and it's definitely in there, so I'm guessing it was littered throughout other late 70s, early 80s movies.
- ROW-bit
- tuh-TOO
- uh-MOCK, as in running amok, but sounded more like "a mock draft".
I'm not hating, it just cracks me up.
Michael Mann has, well, not been very busy since the criticallly acclaimed masterpiece that was blackhat.I'm SHOCKED they got Mann. Wow.
This is must-listen.
In terms of foundations that conduct actual operations, I think this is right. Unless you’re a multi-billionaire like Gates or Buffett, or you have unique skills that you can bring to bear on a philanthropic effort, there’s probably an existing charity doing the work you want to do more effectively than you will be able to do it.This is much less about Bill and much more about the mess that family foundations often are. People in general would do a lot more good donating to things that already exist.
Both of those were great.Simmons ripping into Rodgers and then immediately running a pre-taped FanDuel read where he puts over how you should bet on Rodgers throwing TDs against the Chiefs was tremendous unintentional comedy.
I also enjoyed his reaction to the LeBron stans going after him for allegedly targeting LeBron with the 27 ppg graphic.
Well, his whole point was that he isn't really on Twitter so when he just harmlessly posted the graphic he had to be filled in later by someone else on how LeBron Twitter came up with a conspiracy theory as to why he posted it.Both of those were great.
Guy who is 'not on Twitter anymore' spends 10 minutes defending his tweet. Love to see it.
Was this the inspo for the game on Succession, or did they do it after it aired or is it unrelated?A few days late but Sal starting to play good tweet/bad tweet with Simmons was great and I wish went just a little longer
They were recapping Succession and Sal hit him with “Let’s play good tweet/bad tweet” out of nowhere.Was this the inspo for the game on Succession, or did they do it after it aired or is it unrelated?
Oh I turned the pod off 5 minutes too early. Dammit.They were recapping Succession and Sal hit him with “Let’s play good tweet/bad tweet” out of nowhere.
Okay, I'm not the biggest OBJ fan, but from 2014 to 2019 he had 5 1k+ yards seasons and his per 16 games statline read 99 catches for 1389 yards and 10 TDs in that period. He was absolutely an elite wide receiver up until 2020, dude had two thousand yard seasons while playing only 12 games in that time frame. He may very well be done, but he's a lot more than that catch.Sal calling the Urban Meyer at the bar, "The Thumb Incident," was quietly hilarious.
Also, I really do love and appreciate how angry Sal gets when he loses a guess the line game to Simmons. I appreciate his commitment to winning.
Sal is awesome in general, of course. But his Odell takes were atrocious. He, like many, is still enamored by that catch in 2014.
It's all relative, in my opinion. Odell was the highest paid WR in 2019 and he was 26th and yards and not in the top 50 in TDs.Okay, I'm not the biggest OBJ fan, but from 2014 to 2019 he had 5 1k+ yards seasons and his per 16 games statline read 99 catches for 1389 yards and 10 TDs in that period.

I don't think it's all Baker's fault, but I also believe for some reason he hasn't gelled with Odell, who obviously isn't the same player at this point. I have a feeling Odell is kind of like Antonio Brown in that he'll be a little unconventional in his route running and adjust often if he sees the coverage a certain way, which makes chemistry with the quarterback paramount. Always thought he had the skillset of the perfect Brady receiver with his willingness to run deep middle of the field routes often, but at this point I don't think there's a team with an established QB that both has the cap room to sign him and in which he won't be the third option at best.It's all relative, in my opinion. Odell was the highest paid WR in 2019 and he was 26th and yards and not in the top 50 in TDs.
He was paid to be elite. And he was not. And that was 2 seasons ago, with another ACL surgery under his belt. And he has already been hurt a few times this year and seemingly is a pretty big problem in the clubhouse. There are plenty of solid WRs in the league. I don't know why any team would want this one, all things considered.
His 2014 to 2016 were absolutely elite. Undebatable. Odell was amazing, every time he had the ball it was a chance for a TD and his hands were glue. But he isn't the same player, too injured, too odd. I've watched a lot of Odell this year. He's had some pretty bad drops, on top of the overall lack of production. Maybe it was all Baker's fault and I'll look like an idiot. But I'll believe it when I see it.
This is when it is at its best.After the Cowboys and Patriots games today, I fear the start of tonight's Guess the Lines podcast is going to be pretty insufferable.
Yeah, well...not so much for me when you consider the Falcons, Dan Quinn and 28-3 angles begging to be exploited.This is when it is at its best.
Look, you just won a World Series, you have to be tougher.Yeah, well...not so much for me when you consider the Falcons, Dan Quinn and 28-3 angles begging to be exploited.
I am currently in tears laughing at the Larry O'Brien's/Karl Malone's half baked idea from Wildes visiting the podcast today. I think the coach coming to the table saying "You deserve this." and Jim Gray at the loser bar sent me over the edge.
I thought the "you know what's an Andy Rooney take?" repartee was pretty great as well.This post was the reason I went back and listened to this and the “you deserve this” was amazing.
I thought the "you know what's an Andy Rooney take?" repartee was pretty great as well.
I loved the recurring Taylor Swift joke that ran through today's Guess the Lines, particularly Sal's line about a beleaguered Jake Gyllenhal turning to their podcast as refuge from the social media onslaught, only to find them discussing it as well.
It was really a treat. The lyrics, the banter, Sal. That was some very good stuff.As mentioned, the Taylor Swift subplot was hilarious throughout the pod.
Sorry to pile on, but I came here to post exactly this. I laughed out loud repeatedly during Guess the Lines this week.I thought the "you know what's an Andy Rooney take?" repartee was pretty great as well.

What you say makes sense but it’s not what he said.His point was it’s rare for a rookie QB to both be good and have a Super Bowl contending team. Luck was probably the only recent rookie that also fit the bill in addition to Roethlisberger and Wilson. Herbert’s rookie year did not fit that bill.
I think that's part of what makes me like Bill though. Pardon the reference (and he'd probably be insulted by this) but he's the original 'Barstooler'...I laughed at that as well. I think it goes further than that, though. It isn't simply that Bill has the Pats blinders on, he's just much more of a surface level NFL fan than he wants you to believe. Anyone who is a big NFL guy who is discussing Mac's awesome year would never forget how good Herbert was last year.
What about Dak Prescott, who went 13-3 and made the Pro Bowl as a rookie?His point was it’s rare for a rookie QB to both be good and have a Super Bowl contending team. Luck was probably the only recent rookie that also fit the bill in addition to Roethlisberger and Wilson. Herbert’s rookie year did not fit that bill.
I'm sure they both love it in LA --- but Bill and Sal would be "perfect" to replace the hole at NY's WFAN that was left the day 'Mike and the Mad Dog' ceased working as a team.I agree with all of that. I know what I’m getting with Simmons. He’s entertaining and that’s all that matters to me even if he makes me unintentionally chuckle from time to time.
