The Bill Simmons Podcast is brought to you by PayPal. We're also brought to you by the Ringer Podcast Network, where I had an unexpected Friday podcast, if you missed it. LeBron picked the Sixers. I had Zach Lowe coming out anyway to take redraftables for this podcast, but we ended up running all of it on Friday. So if you wanted to hear our gut reactions to that, Uh, that's what went up on Friday. Zach did something on his podcast as well. Um, rewatchables obsession live on Netflix at seven o'clock Eastern four o'clock Pacific. It's going to be me and Chris Ryan and Joanna Robinson, who is fresh from comic-con. Um, can't wait to talk about that movie. It is the first same year movie we've done for 2026.

I loved it. Uh, so that is tomorrow. Stay tuned for that. Coming up on this podcast, how's the Niagara talk about the losers of, uh, of the LeBron saga. And then I have a big ass mailbag with a lot of good questions. So thanks to everybody who mailed in that stuff. And then after house, my dad finally agreeing to come on, um, three weeks after the Jalen Brown trade, um, was so mad about the Jalen Brown trade, refused to come on. And, uh, and now he's going to finally come on and we're going to talk about the state of Boston sports at the, for the last 35, 40 minutes of this podcast.

All right, taping this Sunday afternoon, Joe House is here. Our baseball team's made a trade last night. Yeah. Early for me. You liked me. I liked early. I'm happy for both of us.
There we go. And I'm happy to have baseball back in my life. Washington hasn't been competitive since 2019 when they won the World Series. And they weren't supposed to be competitive this year, which is why they have a historically bad bullpen. Yeah, really bad.
I saw it when they played the Red Sox. You didn't have a single guy.
Yeah. You enjoyed it. Yeah. You saw it and you enjoyed it. Yeah. We made a trade. It's good. Baseball. Let's go.
We're going to do a mailbag. Okay. But before we do that, I want to talk about the LeBron signing to Philly happened on Friday. And I wanted to do a quick thing about the biggest losers from the LeBron signing.
Well, hold on a second. It's warm. Let me get a little warm up here.
It's a little warm. Oh, my God. I didn't know they actually sold those.
I thought that was a joke. Well, now they need to do the Caleb Wilson jizz room one. And then we'll really be cooking. What a July.
That was a fun one because that got aggregated in a way that made me sound like a psycho, which I kind of enjoyed.
Aggregated.
I was trying to make a joke about how excited the Bulls fans were. Then I was trying to make you laugh. But then all of a sudden, I'm in a... It was ejaculated.
Ejacula-graded. I loved it. As you know, I don't care.
Of course. The LeBron saga. Biggest loser in your opinion. I have a list. I have one, two, three, four, five, six, seven losers.
