Welcome to Episode #143! We bring on Ben for his third appearance (#133, #134). We start off on Bill's proxy betting scandal, which leads into a discussion of how the pod's become worse the more Bill talks gambling - the charm is gone and it's now much more commercialized.We next get into the Clippers situation, Pablo's big W, and break down Bill's fleeting support of Adam Silver - who went from "throwing a no hitter" to now Bill questioning his leadership of the league and plans for expansion, which Bill's done a 180 on.We grade Russillo's first year at Barstool, and assess where GM Bill and The Ringer front office should be looking to improve their sports bench. We also re-visit our Max Kellerman takes one year later and conclude he remains a sportscaster outside his element and that the Rich Paul pod is not working. We finish with a discussion of Bill's use and promotion of AI in his content. Enjoy!
