Notes From My Lazy Vacation. Plus Jackie MacMullan on Why She’s Retiring (and Lots More).

Bill Simmons shares some stuff he wishes he’d been able to talk about while he was on vacation, including: the Red Sox’s stumbles, SummerSlam in Las Vegas, the Olympics, HBO’s The White Lotus, Jeopardy!, and more (4:30). Then Bill is joined by Hall of Fame journalist Jackie MacMullan to discuss her retirement from ESPN, the recent Bleacher Report interview with Kevin Durant and Draymond Green, stories from 40 years of covering sports, maintaining journalistic integrity in a changing media landscape, and more (33:00).
