Wednesday, Woj had Ramona Shelburne on his podcast and dropped a ridiculous line about Ben Simmons receiving an ovation from Sixers fans:

Oh no. Isn’t this supposed to be the guy Daryl Morey is feeding all of his information through? If anyone should have their finger on the pulse of Philly right now, it’s Woj. Did he not read my post about Shaun Bradley naming Ben Simmons First Team All-Dickhead? Joel Embiid already asked us to support him the first game of the year and look how that turned out:

It’s going to be 19,499 Sixers fans against Ben Simmons and then this guy who’ll be on his knees supposedly:

The night Ben Simmons returns to the Wells Fargo Center, they might have to call in the National Guard. I think Daryl has to find a new guy after this clip. Throw Kyle Neubeck or Godner some bones. Hell, throw me and Kevin some bones! I can sell the shit out of a narrative. But you can’t have a guy like Woj, who’s supposed to be this plugged in, actually on an entirely different planet. If this is what Woj thinks the temperature of Philadelphia is right now, what are the conversations he’s having with Daryl like behind closed doors? He probably thinks the U.S. is over in Europe just having a play date.
