Best American White Guy Award… GRAYSON ALLEN

You list Tyler Herro? You didn’t mention even GRAYSON ALLEN. Hello?

Vincent Hannah ,

Simmons never fails

Simmons is the man, can’t get enough of this guy

SanamTheTearg ,

He peaked a few years ago

This pod used to be unmissable. Now it’s just filled with propaganda for whatever guest he has on, a little bit of Lebron hate every single episode, and a lot of bad takes with 0 ownership. Here’s an example: he put KD over Lebron in his All NBA voting and then refused to say a single negative thing about him when he got swept. Just attributed it to his age. He literally was about to ignore the take until Russillo made him speak on it.
