Bill Simmons sent a clear message to Peter Schrager this week: Don\u2019t bother reaching out because you\u2019re banned.<\/p>\n
Perhaps jokingly, perhaps not, The Sports Guy banned the rising ESPN star from his show after appearing on Tuesday\u2019s episode of Pardon My Take, while not responding to outreach to appear on The Bill Simmons Podcast.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Rams, who we found out today from Peter Schrager, who\u2019s banned from this podcast,\u201d\u00a0Simmons said on Friday\u2019s show<\/a>, \u201cHe went on Pardon My Take, didn\u2019t come on here\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI parlayed the Niners +3.5 with Schrager not coming on the podcast this week but going on a different one,\u201d Simmons continued<\/a>. \u201cMy friend. He shouldn\u2019t text us for a while, I\u2019ll just say that.\u201d<\/p>\n When one of his co-hosts, Joe House, asked if Schrager could make it up to them, Simmons ratcheted things up a notch.<\/p>\n \u201cHe\u2019s in the shit house,\u201d said Simmons. \u201cHe\u2019s on the shit list. He\u2019s on my shit list now. He\u2019s gotta really make it up.<\/p>\n \u201cUpsetting. He had a new thing to promote; I\u2019m not even going to promote it now. Whatever. Schrager\u2019s up to stuff; good luck to him.\u201d<\/p>\n Bill Simmons:<\/p>\n \u201cI parlayed 49ers +3.5 with Schrager not coming on the pod this week but going on a different one.<\/p>\n He shouldn\u2019t text us for awhile.

Perhaps he was too busy putting that together to make time for a visit. Or, perhaps, there\u2019s something more sinister at play.<\/p>\n Schrager\u2019s lack of recent appearances on the pod has clearly been gnawing at Simmons for a bit.<\/p>\n \u201cSchrager won\u2019t come on my podcast anymore. It\u2019s like team ESPN now\u2026turned down multiple invitations\u201d<\/p>\n No more Schrager on the pod would be devastating<\/p>\n Hopefully simply a misunderstanding\/scheduling conflict pic.twitter.com\/YDWokqNudF<\/a><\/p>\n
