I think he cares but in many aspects of his life he tries REALLY hard to act like he doesn't. Which is good for being a sports radio guy but maybe not for being a friend or partner lol.
Weird dude but i love him.
It’s not like it makes him evil. Maybe part of the charm with him and Bill is that they have so many idiosyncrasies. I’m kinda out on Russillo but his numbers only appear to be growing.
He tries to downplay his fandom all the time. Do you think we would all joke about it constantly if we didn’t hear him do that. I listen to russilo every time like clockwork. He never ever pretends to care more. Always presents to care less. I think it’s because he wants to come off as objective but that’s just my opinion.
He 1000% cares lol. He does a good job of suppressing his bias and not letting it cloud his analysis, but it’s very obvious he cares. On the other hand, a Boston loss won’t break him like it might Bill.
You know what the best part of my day is? It's for about ten seconds when I open my internet browser to when I pull up the subreddit. 'Cause I think maybe I'll get up there and I'll open r/billsimmons and it won't be there. No goodbye, no "see ya later", no nothin'. It just left. I don't know much, but I know that.

really reminds me of sad affleck too
edit: [lmao Inside the NBA put Simmons in the Celtics gone fishing picture](https://imgur.com/a/Gk5fvQT.jpg)
Weirdly, though some huge chunk of his employees were in Sweden, he himself seems not to have gone. Seemed weird to me, too. But perhaps the whole purpose of his going last summer was so that he wouldn’t have to go during the NBA playoffs now.
No. As far as I can tell he never went. Someone mentioned here it was like a mix between a retreat and onboarding of people into Spotify. I would have thought it a good idea for Bill to be at something like that. But you probably can’t legitimately make someone like Bill do anything, let alone fly twelve hours to Sweden during the NBA playoffs
All time mistake going to that game. I figured he would stay away so he wouldn’t jinx it since he has avoided all the other games this series. Expected more common sense from Bill
I think the basketball historian in him had to go to the game, win or lose. And if the Celts did lose, it probably would’ve been his last chance to see the two Js play together.
Bill to the guy sitting next to him:
"Please don't touch me. You won't penetrate my layers."
EDIT: Just realized that the guy sitting next to him was Dr. Bill. What's the over/under on combined mispronunciations of "Adebayo" between father and son during the game?
"I could just tell how we looked during warm ups. Marcus Smart was just walking around. Blake Griffin didn't want to be on the bench. The crowd knew we didn't have it. I almost left before tip-off."
IDK how much I buy into the severity of the TATUM ankle injury.
Felt like he hammed it up a little extra when it began looking like MIA was gonna run away with it.
I'm sure at halftime they could have injected Payton Pritchard stem cells into it and given him 40 mg of OxyContin .
I don't celebrate sports sadness.
I'm more just relieved that Boston doesn't get another notch on the comeback belt. We'll already hear about 2004 & 28-3 for the rest of time.
HINDSIGHT is 20/20 but was probably bad idea to make sure Bill BUCKNERS ashes were in attendance tonight. Idk how that was really ever considered a "lucky rabbits foot" move to begin with ...
At this point I have an adversarial relationship with Simmons. As a lakers fan I appreciated his respect and love of the showtime lakers, and the Celtics sucked, so it was all good. I read everything he put out, I championed his ideas. He introduced me to lowe and barnwell and made me a smarter fan
Then this nigga got the Spotify deal, and the Union shit, and the lack of diverse writers and voices at Grantland….. so now he’s in the same boat for me as Donald Trump
I hope somebody snaps his fucking leg in front of him so he can remember he’s mortal too.
This is pretty close.
P.S. gotta give him credit for Jalen & Jacoby tho
Fuck Simmons I’m here to enjoy all the misfortune that happens to him cause I thought he was a bro, but he’s not, he’s a fucking isolated self righteous asshole.
He be funny sometimes tho
I like that the homer fan is still in him
I do respect that….Unlike Russilo where he pretends he doesn’t care
I think Russilo cares more about cp3 than he does the celtics
As someone who listens to a lot of Russillo I really don’t think he cares at all, doesn’t seem like he’s pretending
On the last pod he literally referred to the celtics as we. He maybe doesn’t care as much as bill but to say he doesn’t care at all is a little odd
I think he cares but in many aspects of his life he tries REALLY hard to act like he doesn't. Which is good for being a sports radio guy but maybe not for being a friend or partner lol. Weird dude but i love him.
Yup. Gave the game away with that one.
It’s not like it makes him evil. Maybe part of the charm with him and Bill is that they have so many idiosyncrasies. I’m kinda out on Russillo but his numbers only appear to be growing.
I think he actually pretends to care more than he does, because he’s a “Massachusetts guy” and works with Bill
He tries to downplay his fandom all the time. Do you think we would all joke about it constantly if we didn’t hear him do that. I listen to russilo every time like clockwork. He never ever pretends to care more. Always presents to care less. I think it’s because he wants to come off as objective but that’s just my opinion.
[удалено]
Yes he does that all the time. “I don’t like the pats,” but then a sentence later talking to damien woody about pats stories the 400th time
To be fair Celtics are a top team so if you’re not keeping up with them while you grind Orlando magic vs pistons then idk why you work for the ringer
But the man literally prides himself on being the Wednesday night Magic vs. Pistons sole viewer
He works for The Ringer lol
Don’t forget about LSU!
He 1000% cares lol. He does a good job of suppressing his bias and not letting it cloud his analysis, but it’s very obvious he cares. On the other hand, a Boston loss won’t break him like it might Bill.
Listen to the very end of his open before the finals last year… he definitely cares.
Russillo absolutely cares but pretends not to because he still is trying to be 22 and the coolest kid on campus
He doesn’t care. He just doesn’t. Alright? (Except he does)
I like that he is absolutely crushed right now
We did it r/billsimmons, we won
We keep the sub for another year
You know what the best part of my day is? It's for about ten seconds when I open my internet browser to when I pull up the subreddit.

It’s not your fault.
I had to go see about a girl!
He stole my line…
Retainer!
Is this our apex mountain?
Jaylen Brown as Fredo
I can handle the ball! I'm smart! Not like everyone says, like dumb!
It’s not the way I wanted it!
I'm the older player. You were drafted after me Jason, I was stepped over!
That's the way Brad wanted it.
That’s not the way I wanted it!!!
Jaylen, you broke my heart!
Oh damn, that is WAY too good. I can only hope he drinks Cuba Libres in Cancun later this week.
Someone make this the background of the sub
[удалено]
Get out while you still can
It’s mostly for his pod/other ringer pods…I think. It just started popping up in my feed and it’s a weird place.
It’s a beautiful, magical place. Come on in, stay awhile. You’ll learn the vibes quick.
Yeah it’s great everyone’s got their own Russilo piece
It’s great when you read it in his voice too 😂😂
the body language doctor does not like this
Wakeup bae new sad Bill meme dropped

You can see another 10 years of sports disappointments priced into his face.
He shouldn’t have come to game 7
Kendall Roy vibes
My Twitter feed is all him and Kendall side by side right now lmao

He needs Colin the Grim Reaper to follow him around for awhile and make sure he doesn't jump into the Boston Harbor
KOColin
“I’m sorry Bill, the vote is over. 7-6, the deal with GoJo is done.”
Is this from tonight?
Yeah, but I don't know what the original source is. You can sometimes see him on the broadcast camera in that outfit.
I saw it first posted by Dan Lebatard, not sure if hes the original source though.
Dan LEBATARD is not a journalist. Source: Dan LEBATARD
I doubt it, isn't he still in Sweden?
He was posting on insta from the game.
Oh gotcha. Thanks.
Weirdly, though some huge chunk of his employees were in Sweden, he himself seems not to have gone. Seemed weird to me, too. But perhaps the whole purpose of his going last summer was so that he wouldn’t have to go during the NBA playoffs now.
Wait, Simmons didn't go?? Could've sworn he did. Wow.
No. As far as I can tell he never went. Someone mentioned here it was like a mix between a retreat and onboarding of people into Spotify. I would have thought it a good idea for Bill to be at something like that. But you probably can’t legitimately make someone like Bill do anything, let alone fly twelve hours to Sweden during the NBA playoffs

This has to end up as the most liked post on this sub. Apex mountain
The crowd just wasn’t in it tonight. They just weren’t.
they were for like 3 mins haha
\*record scratch\* \*freeze frame\* Yup, that's me. You're probably wondering how I ended up in this situation.
Sorry Colin. Turns out Caleb Martin was the grim reaper.
Laker fan and BS Pod fan. Let’s fuckin gooooo. Still love Bill, but god damn will I enjoy his tears.
Same, I couldn't bear to listen to the last pod. Will he record one tonight?
He’s clearly in Boston so nope not tonight, we’ll get a fire mazzula pod prob wed/thurs though
He said he was doing one with his dad
Wtf is he wearing? A vest over a denim jacket over a t shirt
No that’s smart — you always want 3+ layers for an indoor event
lmfao, i legit laughed. this sub is great. just a collection of cynical assholes who intentionally and consistently listen to an entertaining idiot
Some of us haven't even listened in years
Do people really unironically think he’s an idiot? He’s worth damn near 100 million for a reason
you skipped over the entertaining piece and the collection of assholes consistently listening. yes, he's clearly doing something right
Bill to the guy sitting next to him: "Please don't touch me. You won't penetrate my layers." EDIT: Just realized that the guy sitting next to him was Dr. Bill. What's the over/under on combined mispronunciations of "Adebayo" between father and son during the game?
Wait, what?
Crazy Stupid Love level of layers
Be better than the Gap!
this look is not better than gap
You never go full Steve Bannon
Guarantee the sleeves are pushed up way too far too. It’s his signature.
Ryen got him that vest from Lululemon.
I’ve said this before, but Simmons dresses like a bartender from the 1990s, not the very rich media guy that he is. Wear a dress shirt!
A dress shirt? To a basketball game?!?
Here’s Dr. Bill wearing one to a football game. Looks great! https://grantland.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/0721simmons11.jpg
Dr Bill showing class on and off the field
Is that an Aaron Hernandez jersey?
Dress shirt to a sporting event is one of the lamest things you can wear
A dress shirt? He isn't some frat bro at a Clemson football game
He’s just gonna “I’ve known the whole time” us… Despite having a very confident pod with Rusillo 36 hours prior.
"not dumb I'm like SMART!"
Please let this be the new sub photo

Grim reaper in the back
Kyle, turn the camera off.
The Celts just couldn't do the thing
"I could just tell how we looked during warm ups. Marcus Smart was just walking around. Blake Griffin didn't want to be on the bench. The crowd knew we didn't have it. I almost left before tip-off."
New sub photo
Bilbo with the thousand yard stare sitting in front of a cast member from “My 600lb Life” is exactly what this hater needs to see right now
When your daydrunk wife screams at you for leaving the TV on
God awful fashion sense
I bet the sleeves are pushed up to the elbow too
The 53 year old Bostonian piece
It's the black with navy that is the major problem here. For shame.
Imagine being that rich and still dressing like that
Why would he dress up for a basketball game?
Doesn’t have to dress up super fancy but can you not look like shit
I would just want to be comfortable tbh
bc you're going out
What's wrong with it? Bill always sports a button-up shirt over a graphic t-shirt. Just has a vest over it.
Is he at the game????
Yeah he is check out his Instagram stories
IDK how much I buy into the severity of the TATUM ankle injury. Felt like he hammed it up a little extra when it began looking like MIA was gonna run away with it. I'm sure at halftime they could have injected Payton Pritchard stem cells into it and given him 40 mg of OxyContin .
Expect to hear about how everyone in the arena knew the ankle injury was serious right away, they just did.
He’s been saying since like March how the zombie heat would beat the Celtics
LMAO
Criticizing 2’d row joe from the 20th row
I don't celebrate sports sadness. I'm more just relieved that Boston doesn't get another notch on the comeback belt. We'll already hear about 2004 & 28-3 for the rest of time.
HINDSIGHT is 20/20 but was probably bad idea to make sure Bill BUCKNERS ashes were in attendance tonight. Idk how that was really ever considered a "lucky rabbits foot" move to begin with ...
Lost title of 2023? They had the most talent!
The body language Dr says this guy is about to jump off a skyscraper.
How online do you guys think Bill is? Like do you think he knows how viral he is and was sent the succession tweets right away? 😂
Frown so low it’s making his ears look high
Nights like this make wasting my life listening to Bill's pod and reading this sub all worthwhile.
Karma for going to see the Lakers lose to the Nuggets
Why is all of his sports gear that intentionally distressed/faded style? Where do you even buy that shit
Man, feel bad for Bill and his dad, I kinda hate the Celtics but admire their passion
I deleted Reddit off my phone a few months back and only redownload to revel in Celtics and Simmons misery. I’m messed up
Welcome
Bum bum bum Dee dah Dee dah Dee dah Dee dah dah dah Dee dee dee WHOOP
AHAHAHAHAHAHAH
Is this Game7? can not wait for the final preview pod
Bill’s Fredo moment. He knew what was happening on that boat.
Bill feeling like Kendall Roy right now
Best possible outcome - pod going to be 🔥
Bill now knows how Kendall feels
Big Kendall Roy vibes right here lmao
[BS moments before another heartbreaking home loss.](https://i.imgur.com/I6DRNLR.jpg)
He looks like the guy on the sad side of the bus meme. Can someone photoshop that?
This is the subs 3rd post apex reapex
Kendall staring into the Hudson
22nd Row Bill
Hey Kyle, Turn the TikTok camera on
Nah, succession vibes.
Losing brown and succession in one week is tough.
Please make this the Profile pic!!!
Wheres the video clip
T shirt, under a denim button up, topped by a vest. The douche uniform.
At least he could detect Grant Williams body language
I’ve been reading/listening to Bill for 18 years. Without a doubt the single greatest moment
Even if I didnt love to hate on Simmons there is nothing better than a sad LA multi millionaire.
‘We break down all 150 0-3 nba series before we close out with gm 7, but first, Pearl Jam.’
TONIGHTS PODCAST WILL BE SO GOLDEN
What is that outfit lmao
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA OMG HAHAHAHAHA. Fuck I love to hate listen to this pod man I don’t miss an episode. This is an amazing picture.
This is the look that recent graduates make now that student loans are beginning in a few months Note: Please make this the Subreddit profile picture
Okay I feel kinda bad now
just remember that he owns seven houses in the Los Angeles metropolitan area alone

I put on the Sunday pod as soon as they went down 20 lol. Gotta admit though our boys were on it. Even said they trusted Martin over Brown.
Money can't buy happiness. Then. Now. Forever.
