Full Episode
The Bill Simmons Podcast is brought to you by FanDuel Sportsbook. We are also brought to you by the Ringer Podcast Network, where it is Halloween week, my favorite week of the year. I've always loved Halloween, really since the movies, but obviously as a little kid, but then Michael Myers, basketball, football, basketball. Just felt like when everything was happening.
And then, of course, my son was born. We thought it was going to be on Halloween, but it ended up being on November 1st. Would we have called him Michael Meyer Simmons? You'll never know because he was born on November 1st. We're doing Halloween 2 for the rewatchables. We've done Halloween 1. We've done Halloween 4 and 2, which I think is probably now a comedy, but we're going to tackle it.
And it's coming at some point. Late Monday night. So stay tuned for that one. You can get it wherever you get your podcasts. Coming up on this podcast, Cousin Sal and I went live on YouTube right after Packers-Steelers. An entertaining game that wasn't as much of a thriller as we thought it was going to be. That didn't stop us.
We dedicated the podcast to Chauncey Billups and Terry Rozier and David Jones and Pookie and Black Tony and Albanian Bruce and who else? The whole crew. Shout out to those guys. It's all coming up. We're going to take a break. And then we're going to bring in Pearl Jam. And then Cousin Sal. Sunday night. Football. Next. This is the Bill Simmons Podcast presented by FanDuel.

Cousin Sal is here.
We're live on the YouTubes following Packers-Steelers, a game that I thought would be a little more thrilling because it looked like the Steelers were going to do all the stuff they normally do. Uh, they had, they were somehow plus 18 in field goals with their four. And then the, the green Bay misses too. I was waiting for the fourth quarter fumble, right?
When the Packers had momentum that all of a sudden the guy was just going to bobble it Steelers recovery Steelers going, but it didn't happen. The Packers actually took care of business. And, uh, and that was that, who'd you have in that game?
I had Green Bay. I had them all over the place. I had them minus 13 and a half. So that would have been fun if they didn't give up that last touchdown. But I can't get greedy. What a nice week for favorites. Idiots like you and I put Moneyline parlays all over the place. I hope you don't have too much attached to Kansas City because that's where they're going to get us, right? Tomorrow.
