I've been reading/listening to Simmons for 20 years going back to Digital Cities, and SoSH led me to him too. I think I'm done which I am kind of sad about.
I like the NBA well enough but he (and really the rest of the Ringer) holds the league up as the paragon of what every other sports league should aspire to be to the exclusion of almost everything else. I wish Simmons would be honest enough to label his pod as NBA-centric because about 75% of the time it is. I agree about what was said upthread - Simmons is no longer a fan of baseball and makes it clear that MLB can do absolutely nothing right and is barely worth paying any attention to mainly because the NBA is everything baseball is not...that is to say, relevant, interesting, modern, well-run, etc. This of course glosses over issues like the NBA's too-cozy relationship with the Chinese government and the game turning into a three-point contest.
Lastly, as I listen to several Ringer podcasts including Simmons', it's blatantly obvious that there is some kind of standing order to completely ignore the NHL and omit it from every discussion. For example, in discussing how various leagues have responded to the pandemic in restarting (which has also been a frequent topic across pods like the Press Box), there is absolutely no discussion of how the Toronto/Edmonton bubble concept compares to the NBA Disney bubble or how MLB and the NFL has restarted. Look, the NHL is definitely fourth among equals, but it's not so irrelevant on the American sports landscape that it deserves to be disregarded completely...especially by someone who in the past has held himself out as a fan of the Bruins (the way he says he just stopped caring about hockey because of the Jacobs ownership seems strikingly similar to me in the way he no longer cares at all about baseball).
The last straw for me was the C.C./Ruocco podcast from 7/28. Bad enough the supposed Sox diehard has a former Yankee (with some salty history with the Red Sox) and the YES play-by-play man in waiting on his pod with no sense of irony, and bad enough Simmons is laughing right along with C.C. about how Mookie couldn't wait to get out of Boston, but the topper is how it took about 10 minutes into the pod to turn from an MLB discussion with two baseball guys to (you guessed it) an NBA discussion.
I realize this is all more about me than Simmons...it's just he's changed his focus and unfortunately it's time for me to move on. I'm under no illusion that I will be missed, but I miss the content he used to provide which aligned with my interests.
