Bill Simmons

And then last but not least, my daughter's home for Thanksgiving and Stranger Things is launching soon.

And we're going to talk Stranger Things at the end.

She's going to give us a report card.

She really just bullied her way into this podcast.

I don't know what to tell you.

It's all coming up next.

We're going to take a break and then Pearl Jam.

This episode of the Bill Simmons podcast is presented by State Farm.

Having insurance isn't the same as having State Farm.

It's like needing the protection offensive guard on the football field, but getting an elementary school crossing guard.

Sure, they're both guards, but you can only trust one to keep your quarterback safe when the game is on the line.

So don't settle for just any insurance.

When you can have State Farm, like a good neighbor, State Farm is there.

All right, Kurt Goldsberry is here.

He has a new piece on TheRinger.com today.

We're going to nerd it up.

I want to talk advanced metrics with you and a whole bunch of things.

I asked you to come up with a couple trends, things you're looking at, things that have jumped out from a basketball slash nerd number standpoint.

There's been some good nerd numbers this year.

I can't wait to go through them.
