But that was in the midst of the canceling of the season so there was debate about that, and he had Dr. Drew and a few "Sports Business" people talking about the impact, which I found fascinating. I didn't listen last week because I would always listen at the gym which is now shut down, but I actually enjoy his non-sports takes the most because I think he is centrist and has an interesting perspective.
Cowherd realizes 8 or so years ago that interviews with athletes are awful. No one wants to hear the backup SG for the Atlanta Hawks say, "My teammates are great, we need to lock down more on defense." Athletes never have anything interesting to say, especially about sports.
I've also listened to Simmons, I find him as entertaining as heck, but he also is not an intelligent person and his takes are so stupid that it does bother me. I'm not sure how someone so dumb can be so entertaining. The Malcom Gladwell podcast was particularly interesting because Malcom challenged Bill's dumb ideas and run circles around him intellectually.
