Jul 9, 2016If you like Bill Simmons' podcasts then you'll like this show. He is an excellent interviewer and generally understands his subjects very well. The quality of guests is very high, but the time limit hurts him. I think he is an ideal podcast host and would be a great TV host if the show was a full hour long to allow for fuller conversations.

Jul 20, 2016Just finished watching first 3 shows on TIVO. I think this is great, even though I don't follow mixed martial arts, (2nd show). Serena and Aaron Rogers were great in 3rd show. Plus, I felt there was a strong start with Sir Charles Barkley. While everyone's a critic when it comes to taste, I am pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoy this show.

Jul 26, 2016Ultimate Bro show. I ain't seen so much smoke blowin' since I went to the Cigar Convention in downtown Cigarville.
Dude gets a guy on his show and asks the most harmless rimjo questions I ever did hear. Reminds me of Sam Malone railing on the merits of natural grass vs. artificial turf. The Conrad Bain of sports. Not unpleasant, but not enough in any department to carry his own show.

Outside of Affleck’s strangely compelling Tom Brady tirade, Any Given Wednesday’s pilot was almost aggressively chill--a pleasantly meandering antidote to the usual hot-take cauldron of sports TV.
-
Mr. Simmons stayed in his comfort zone almost exclusively, and the result was largely a televised version of what you might hear on sports talk radio, only with cursing. The cursing was the best part, actually. Mr. Affleck did most of it.

Wednesday has no demonstrable difficulties with keeping the show flowing despite the lack of commercial breaks (which offer their own particular rhythm to late night).
