BEADLE!!!!!
Bill Simmons (1:50 PM)
She is the greatest. If ESPN was thrown into some sort of fantasy draft where we could only protect 10 of our people, and everyone else could be signed by other TV networks, she is my LeBron first pick.
vadim (chicago)
Would you rather have sex with Tiffani-Amber Thiessen or play horse with Kevin Durant?
Bill Simmons (1:50 PM)
Can I do these things at the same time?
Sean (Columbus)
Bill,I read everything you write including both books and every article and listen to every podcast. Other than my wife you have the most input in my life. I have a $3000 car repair bill on my car 2000 Ford. Should I buy a new one or repair the old one?
Bill Simmons (1:51 PM)
Thanks Sean! You should never spend that kind of money on car repairs for a 10 year old car. Just dump it and buy a new one or a newer one. It's a sunk cost. You own the Eddy Curry of cars right now.
noah (san francisco)
"A better question: how does Ty Lawson and Maynor fall to the bottom of the teens in last year's draft?"A fair question. But isn't a better question how Collison fell to the second round?
Bill Simmons (1:54 PM)
Also stupid. That draft was an apocalypse of bad logic. Thabeet at 2, Kahn passing up Steph Curry twice, Lawson and Maynor dropping below Hansbororough/Henderson/Clark... of course, nothing was dumber than the Knicks passing on Lawson to take a power forward who didn't even fit with the system they had when they were already paying their coach 6 mill a year. Donnie Walsh should be fired for that move alone.
Ryan (ohio)
what are the chances that Tiger returns in full eff-you mode for the masters?
Bill Simmons (1:56 PM)
Has to be at least 20-1 right now, right? We're only 5 weekends away. He'd need one comeback tournament beforehand. I just don't see it. Much better chance of him appearing on a Dr. Drew show on VH1.
Jonathan (Chicago)
What Dejuan Blair falling into the Spurs' hands in Round 2?
Bill Simmons (1:57 PM)
Yup, that was another one. Just plain moronic. He went 20 spots lower than he should have.
Rory Van Nostrand (Greenlawn NY)
Remember when you used to like baseball? Then the Sox won a World Series and you stopped caring?
Bill Simmons (1:58 PM)
We won two. And I still care.
Steve (Chicago)
What's Worse. A staute built to Bud Selig, or the NBA championship trophy being named after Larry o'Brien?
Bill Simmons (2:00 PM)
The Larry O'Brien trophy. By the way, I tweeted this yesterday but I'm saying it again... I think the Selig statue should have smaller statues of baseball players roiding up in front of it while the Selig statue looks the other way. And I think it should be blacked out every Saturday afternoon during baseball season.
Kevin (Bakersfield, CA )
Come on Bill, the Blair slippage was understandable. The guy has NO ACL's in EITHER leg! He's one bad landing away from being done for his career.
Bill Simmons (2:00 PM)
That's ridiculous. Name me the guy the Cavs took at No. 30. Seriously. Name him right now. How many people on this chat can name Cleveland's No. 30 pick. They basically said, "PASS."
Patrick (Austin)
Why has Ron Artest not been involved in a WWE match yet?
Bill Simmons (2:01 PM)
I... I don't know.
Jesse (Raleigh)
If LeBron leaves Cleveland, we will find a way to light Lake Erie on fire. The river was child's play.
Eric (Philly)
Have you ever met Megan Fox? I feel like she is probably one of those "even more beautiful in person" celebrities.
Bill Simmons (2:04 PM)
Have not. But I have a good one for you, a new captain for the "Better Looking In Person" All-Stars. Last night I went to EW's Oscars party and Coach Taylor's wife from Friday Night Lights was there. She is pretty on the show we can all agree. In person? Fantastic. Just drop-dead pretty and her hair is great. Even the Sports Gal signed off on it. You know someone's beautiful when your wife says, "yes, she is beautiful." So I am making Connie Britton the captain of the 2010 Better Looking In Person All-Stars.
Col. Angus (Shady Thicket)
How could you expect the NBA GMs to make logical selections in last year's draft? It was the day Michael Jackson died!
Eric (NYC)
I am shocked by all the attention to Lindsey Vonn and Julia Mancuso....yes, they are decent looking women, but there has to be an "Olympic" hot scale. I mean, who are their competition? Female hockey players? Dare I say....female curlers?
Bill Simmons (2:06 PM)
Of course. You know how I have that running joke about Press Box Hot, Military Hot, Hospital Hot? You can DEFINITELY add Curling Hot and Winter Olympics Hot.
Wesley Johnson (Upstate NY)
Shouldn't I be considered as a top 3 pick? I'm the top player on arguably the best team in the Big East!
Bill Simmons (2:07 PM)
I like you, Wesley. You are easily transferrable - what you do in college is exactly what you will do in the pros, and you have a defined position. You're in the top-7 or 8 but you need to have a big tournament.
NatAttack (Boston)
No more references to Friday Night Lights? Have you forgotten the "greatest sports-related show ever made"? Wondering how you're weighing in on Season 4--the new cast, Lion Pride, and if you've ever wanted to kick someone in the nads at much as Joe McCoy? Most importantly though, can Connie Britton get added to the Diane Lane All-Stars already?
Bill Simmons (2:10 PM)
Yes. Connie is on the team. I need to remake it as a 25-woman roster and include the following... Marisa Tomei, Elizabeth Hurley, Laura Linney, Monica Bellucci, Ashley Judd, Vanessa Marcil, Lori Loughlin and especially Shania Twain. The big question... does Sarah Palin (AKA, Gal Sharpton, as Whitlock called her) make it? Have heard multiple times from people who have been in the same room with her that she is VERY attractive.
Bill Simmons (2:11 PM)
PS: I loved Season 4 of FNL. Too many people haven't seen it yet to comment though.
James Harden (Tempe, AZ)
Hey Bill, how cool do you think it is to be me right now? I'm 20, I get to dress up like Erkel and sit in the front row on All-Star Saturday night with my new BFF Kevin Durant, and look cool as hell doing it. Not bad.
Bill Simmons (2:11 PM)
There is no way you're 20. You're 32.
RJ (Boston)
Thoughts on LOST? Are you as confused as I am? Because ever episode has left me with a look on my face that would rival Wade Phillips or Andy Reid in the final 2 minutes of a playoff game.
Bill Simmons (2:12 PM)
So confusing, so many characters, so hard to follow... I guess the question is, "Do I want to watch a show that requires me to spend more time following it, researching it and figuring it out than if I had chosen to go back to high school and take AP History?"
Frank G (Big D)
Can you give me a REALLY good reason why I should stay on this chat since you haven't answered any of my questions & there's Curlgar action on right now as we speak?
Bill Simmons (2:13 PM)
I'm gonna say something dumb and get in trouble soon. It's usually right around the 135-minute mark when I snap and can't help myself.
TJ (Austin)
Does CLE survive if they win it this year and Lebron still decides to leave?
Bill Simmons (2:15 PM)
That might be the most fascinating of the scenarios. The entire city of Cleveland would make the face that Affleck makes at the end of Good Will Hunting when he realizes that Damon left, only it would quickly turn into anger and hostility and get ugly.
Alex (New Orleans)
Epic fail for the Swiss. Shawn White look alike just did her best Sheed impression.
Bill Simmons (2:16 PM)
Yup. Swiss curlers just choked away the gold medal to China. Lack of curlgars kept me from being distracted during the chat.
Bill Simmons (2:17 PM)
I just tweeted during a chat. I think I just made internet history!
The Curlgar (Vancouver)
How do i not leave this oympics with a reality show?
Nate (Boston)
Bronze Bill, Bronze
Bill Simmons (2:18 PM)
Yup - sorry, China won the bronze. Their matches always make me hungry for curling again in 2 hours.
Ryan (Cleveland)
What are your thoughts on the future of JJ Hickson. His talent is still a little raw, but is making huge progress in limited minutes in Cleveland.
Bill Simmons (2:20 PM)
It pisses me off that the Wizards didn't insist on getting him in the Jamison deal and Ernie Grunfeld should be disbarred as a GM for it. In fact, keeping Hickson was Cleveland's ONLY chance to keep LeBron - now, they can potentially sign and trade him with other stuff to Toronto for Bosh or Phoenix for Amare. Pisses me off. That was as bad as Chris Wallace hooking up LA with Gasol.
Josh (Indy)
Scale of 1 to 10, how big of an idiot is Jake when he picks Vienna (as reported) over Tenley on The Bachelor?
Bill Simmons (2:21 PM)
I blame Chris Harrison. It's Chris Harrison's obligation to tell Jake, "Just so you know, she's a divorced Hooters waitress" before he gets down on a knee and proposes marriage.
Otto (Sheboygan, WI)
LeBatard bated his followers to badger you on Twitter to do PTI today. I assume that's not happening. So what would it take to get you on the show for a day?
Bill Simmons (2:24 PM)
I know, he's an idiot as I told him. I'm not going to break my PTI virginity by doing it by satellite where I'd have to stare into a camera wearing an ear piece. That would have been a debacle. I'm not ready to do PTI yet, I'm too competitive and I will suck the first few times, which will make me want to keep doing it, and then suddenly I'd be one of those guys who's using tanning cream and wearing half-open shirts while telling people that I'm on TV like LeBatard.
will (ny)
If beadle is so great, why did you leave her hanging when you appeared on Sportsnation to promote your book (which, I FINALLY finished by the way.) was your second to last chapter inspired by Space Jam?
Bill Simmons (2:27 PM)
It was a joke - she thought it was funny (I think). Her producer Jamie Horowitz told me to do something to mess with her. So don't blame me, blame his bad producing.
Will (Silver Spring, MD)
I just had Chik Fil A for lunch. Jealous?
Bill Simmons (2:28 PM)
Yopu just reminded me, I have a scoop for LA readers: The Carl's Jr. on Hollywood and Sunset is turning into a Chik Fil-A this summer. I will weigh 259 lbs by Christmas. I can't wait.
