  1. One of the greatest men to ever grace the earth, Bill’s laugh is imprinted in my memory from the Interview Bill Simmons did. I never had the pleasure of watching him sadly but he’ll always be at the top of the mountain.

  2. And only *slightly* less deserved than the Presidential Medal of Freedom awarded to Rush Limbaugh in 2020.

    /s, of course.

  3. Pretty awesome.

    And also, unfortunately, that former guy awarded Rush Limbaugh the very same on Feb 4, 2020.

    And he’s back.
