someone please tell bill simmons to never write about, recommend, or reference popular music ever again

So you don't agree with him that U2 is the greatest band in history?

What? They're right up there with The Bravery.

If/when ESPN tires of him, The Sports Guy could always latch on at Rolling Stone.
Nobody ever lends money to a man with a sense of humor.

Yeah.  Why?

I was kinda surprised to see that he was on, though Patton did do Carolla's radio show quite a bit.

I wish it was recorded in stereo so I could turn it all the way to the Patton side and not the Bill "I did the absolute minimum prep on this" Simmons.

I'm listening to this now and as I thought would happen, Patton is blowing everyone of Simmons' half-baked, misinformed opinions on modern comedy out of the water.  It's startling, if not totally predictable, how Patton's wit and intellect just dwarf The Sports Guy's.

Not enough Teen Wolf references, though.

Also, as a Bears fan, I'm pleased that he picked the Packers to win the Super Bowl this year.

I love the way Patton calls him creepy in the first 3 minutes. I've never heard Patton call Tom Creepy, at least not on the air.  Maybe Bill's friend Jack O will call in to ask Patton about the Yankees but I'll probably turn it off before then.
