The NFL podcast has gotten bizarre and Mays was hinting at some type of change for him, although it may be in his personal not profesional life.tmracht said:Yeah and with the NFL podcast going into bizarre world it really had little to draw me back. Can't remember the last time I went to the homepage and not really even intentionally. Just not motivated to go back since the whole handling.
Injuries at catcher lead the lengthy list of things that have gone wrong for the Red Sox this season. Instead of enjoying the superstar defense of Christian Vazquez and the good glove and hollow OBP of Ryan Hanigan, the Sox have had to rush Blake Swihart and dumpster dive for Sandy Leon, leading to below–average defense and one of the majors’ worst-hitting catcher combos. Hanigan is no longer the hitter he was with the Reds, but his recent return should stop some of the bleeding in Boston. The Sox might also decide to send Swihart to Triple-A for more seasoning once his foot permits him to play, in which case we could see them add one of the always-available over-30 catchers who exist in a perpetual state of preparing to be traded: A.J. Pierzynski, Brayan Pena, Geovany Soto, or Nick Hundley.
They mentioned last time together in LA so I just assumed it meant they were moving Grantland to Bristol.Silverdude2167 said:The NFL podcast has gotten bizarre and Mays was hinting at some type of change for him, although it may be in his person not profesional life.

Among other projects, Simmons will host a weekly talk show premiering next year. It will feature stories and guests from across the sports and cultural landscapes.

Hoya81 said:Wouldn't put it past the NFL to pull Hard Knocks out of spite, but I'm sure HBO doesn't care.
Good fit for both sides. There's lots Simmons can sink his teeth into beyond the show itself, particularly with their documentaries and miniseries. I personally hope he his podcasting doesn't get reduced to the show only. And HBO has been making a big push in upping the amount of content--with HBO Now, having a deep catalogue is more important than pure quality. Like Last Week Tonight, I can't imagine Simmons' show is going to cost them a ton, but it definitely broadens HBO's appeal.Rudy Pemberton said:Seems like a good move in that Simmons doesn't have to worry about pissing off advertisers or league partners. Not really sure how his presence leads to more revenue for HBO and I fear his show will just get lost there, but will be interesting to watch.
