    The Ringer

    Interesting perspective, because I thought Rob's section did give Closing Time its due at least as much as any other song that he did that did not come from a band that has had a lasting cultural impact. I now know 1000% more about Semisonic, Dan Wilson, and the dual meaning of that song than I...

    The Ringer

    Agree that the guest host idea could be a big improvement, but I was not impressed with what Mark Leibovich brought to the table last week - basically said he did not prepare, and it showed. Joel Anderson the week prior clearly "gets the show" a bit better. If Curtis could get Jason Gay and...

    NBA league pass: hatred is not a strong enough word

    YTTV has NBCS-Boston, so you get the Celts, but does not have NESN.

    NBA league pass: hatred is not a strong enough word

    I figured as much, thanks. As a local Celtics fans, my hope was to be able to flip between C's games (blacked out on LP) and other games within YTTV, but less likely I will use it much if I have to switch apps to do so.

    NBA league pass: hatred is not a strong enough word

    I have this promo code - does anyone know if there is a way to use the promo code for NBA LP through YouTube TV, as opposed to a standalone app? YTTV only seems to offer an option to subscribe (and pay) directly, but not to link to a pre-existing NBA LP account. Sorry for cross-post from the...

    Cutting The Cord on Cable/Satellite TV Service?

    I have a code for 3 free months of NBA League Pass from FanDuel, and have never used it before. I am a YTTV subscriber, and would like to be able to access NBA LP from within the YTTV app for ease of navigation and perhaps the 4 game screen option. Does anyone know if I can sign up for League...

    The Bill Simmons Thread

    He also did SI Sports Media podcast with Jimmy Traina last week, and wow, Traina is not a good interviewer. I feel like Bill just went on that one so he could point to it and say, "See, I am pretty good compared to that guy."

    Rugby World Cup 2019

    I really like that idea - I wonder if anyone at World Rugby is thinking that boldly about restructuring the event? I know they are planning to add 4 more teams and going to 6 groups in 2027, and I have heard the goal is 32 teams, which seems a long ways off. If you think Namibia and Romania are...

    Rugby World Cup 2019

    I was so wrong about the particulars and yet... The tournament format is terrible, and Ireland will have to live with the absurd "never made it past quarterfinals" albatross around them for at least 4 more years, but they had their chances against New Zealand and could not get it done, and they...

    Just What is Apex Mountain: Rewatchables discussion thread

    CR nailing that Jenkins bit without breaking was impressive for a man who is not a trained actor. I also enjoyed the recurring Matt Ishbia/you have chosen poorly bit. Not sure why anyone thinks "Holy Grail" is a better name for the movie than "Last Crusade," especially the man who went to a...

    The Ringer

    I am not done yet, needed to take a break for less mentally taxing fare. I was listening on my commute and found myself wanting to stop to Google 8 times a minute. Just chock full of unexplained, tossed-off references to 40 years of pop culture, politics, and history. I really think an...

    The Ringer

    Not a must listen for me, but it definitely fills a void when I am want to hear someone talk about a big win by the Celtics, Sox or Pats (theoretically for the last 2). Handy that the show description tells me when I can safely skip talk about Mac Jones trade rumors. I expect I will enjoy...

    Cutting The Cord on Cable/Satellite TV Service?

    I have YTTV and my brother has Fubo. We are allowed to share with people outside of the household, but there are some limits on the total number of screens you can use, so I have been trying to use the NESN360 app with his Fubo credentials to limit the number of people logged in to Fubo. That...

    2023 Angels: A Sho-wan song?

    So am I correct in calculating that if Shohei goes every fifth game, he would be starting the Patriot's Day game at Fenway? Obviously a lot can happen to change the rotation, but it seems like that is the only date he could even possibly pitch during the Sox series.
