Podbit · The Bill Simmons Podcast
Acuff reminds Bill Simmons of Kyrie — creative finishing, stop-and-start mastery, true lead guard instincts. Brown is a polished scorer. Tim Legler is high on both. The problem? The Clippers at pick 5 already have a point guard in Garland and a 35-year-old Kawhi.
Tim Lopez and his college frenemy Evan couldn't agree on anything. They were garrulous, emotionally volatile, and each convinced the other was the bigger idiot. But down 5-0 in the third set of a late-night doubles match at UCLA's Arthur Ashe Tennis Center, something shifted. Their stubbornness stopped pointing at each other and started pointing at the scoreboard.
In the middle of an epic five-set amateur tennis comeback, Tim Lopez and Evan stopped screaming insults at each other and started communicating through gestures and facial expressions alone. Their friends later said it was the longest either of them had ever gone without speaking. They won the match.

PIX 106 radio host Bob Wolf organized the Eye Rock 500 — a stock car race for 14 blind drivers at Fonda Speedway. Usual attendance: 100 people. Race day attendance: 6,000. Michael Corso called in, was put live on air, and was signed up before he could think too hard about what he'd agreed to.
Every car in the Eye Rock 500 had a wooden block wedged under the gas pedal to keep speeds safe. Michael Corso found it, said something unprintable, and kicked it out. Then he put the car in neutral, revved the engine, and told his sighted navigator: just tell me where to go.
