Of course Mike is a registered Republican
There's a reason folks in here, Twitter, and Reddit called him MAGA Mike for years.
Also he was a big Will Cain guy - and would even publicly cape for him all the time - until recently.

Will didn’t change recently so I’m curious what the a-ha moment was.

No idea Dan and Simmons had a falling off
Simmons is just a petty a$$hole so I shouldn't be surprised though

What an idiot.
It’s funny that this is brought up, because Dan is exactly who the fans of Bill Simmons think he is, while Bill Simmons is the exact person that most people think Dan is. I fukking hate Bill Simmons, he is the least talented person with his amount of success in sports broadcasting/podcasting/etc.No idea Dan and Simmons had a falling off

Simmons success was before Grantland though. His only two talents were identifying opportunities for someone with his gimmick ("every day hardcore sports fan") to be read and heard + identifying young talented prospects he could learn from or befriend (and later in his career, work with to stay relevant).
Dude is a prime example of being at the right place at the right time by being one of the first with a "relatable gimmick" for sports, blending stuff with pop culture, having a podcast and promoting his work on Twitter established him as a relevant figure (plus being a white dude from Boston) that opened a bunch of doors for him. He also took huge advantage of every opportunity he got: a huge podcast, Grantland, 30 for 30 and then The Ringer and Spotify deal.
It didn't matter he wasn't that good of a writer (I do give him points for being creative and trying different shyt, though), never learned how to do a legit great interview and never really having enough knowledge on anything to have takes worth a damn. By the time everyone else caught up to him and there were better at everything he does, Simmons had such a big following that being mediocre couldn't hurt him at all.
