Pablo Torre and Bill Simmons officially have sports media beef.<\/p>\n
Taking to X on Monday, Torre reposted an article from Awful Announcing<\/a> (hey, that\u2019s us) about Simmons\u2019 comments regarding his reporting on Bill Belichick and Jordon Hudson. In doing so, the Meadowlark Media host offered an invitation for The Sports Guy to join him on an episode of Pablo Torre Finds Out, noting that he has \u201ca few questions\u201d for Simmons.<\/p>\n \u201cDear @BillSimmons: Since you have such a strong public opinion about my work\u2026 I happen to have a few questions for you, specifically,\u201d he wrote. Unless you\u2019re afraid of @pablofindsout and someone just \u2018pretending to be a journalist,\u2019 of course. Thanks, Pablo.\u201d<\/p>\n Dear @BillSimmons<\/a>:<\/p>\n Since you have such a strong public opinion about my work\u2026 I happen to have a few questions for you, specifically.<\/p>\n Unless you\u2019re afraid of @pablofindsout<\/a> and someone just \u201cpretending to be a journalist,\u201d of course.<\/p>\n Thanks, \u2014 Pablo Torre \ud83d\udd73\ufe0f (@PabloTorre) June 2, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n Torre\u2019s quote about \u201cpretending to be a journalist\u201d was a direct reference to the comments that Simmons made during an episode of The Rewatchables last week<\/a>, which focused on the 1973 film \u201cHeaven Can Wait\u201d (naturally). As co-hosts Chris Ryan and Van Lathan discussed a plot point involving the character Leo Farnsworth, Simmons took the opportunity to rip Torre\u2019s recent reporting regarding Belichick and Hudson, as well as the ex-ESPN writer\u2019s subsequent media appearances.<\/p>\n \u201cPablo Torre would\u2019ve done a long podcast about Leo Farnsworth trying to practice with the team, and then done a media tour about it afterwards,\u201d Simmons said. \u201cI\u2019ve never seen anybody dine on a stupider story for a week and a half while pretending you\u2019re a journalist. What the f*ck was that? Seriously.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cBelichick\u2019s dating a girl. \u2018Oh, let me do nine shows about it,\u2019\u201d The Ringer founder later added. \u201cSettle the f*ck down.\u201d<\/p>\n Both Ryan and Lathan seemed surprised that Simmons was going after Torre with such apparent animosity, with Ryan even questioning whether the Boston native would have had the same reaction if Belichick didn\u2019t happen to be the ex-head coach of his beloved New England Patriots. Simmons proceeded to state that his biggest issue was with Torre\u2019s \u201cmedia tour,\u201d which included multiple interviews and features in publications including Vanity Fair<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0The Athletic<\/a>.<\/p>\n Bill Simmons LASHES OUT at Pablo Torre for his coverage of Bill Belichick and his girlfriend pic.twitter.com\/BuwoJ4nyaG<\/a><\/p>\n
