Media Movement: President Obama X Bill SImmons – The Interview

Friday, March 2, 2012

Bill Simmons landed the interview of a lifetime, with perhaps the greatest presidential sports interview since Hunter S. Thompson was in the back of the car talking football with Nixon. The President discusses everything from Jeremy Lin, and the pressure throwing out the first pitch, to his own game on the basketball court, and finally his beloved hometown Chicago Bulls. In a candid and cool interview our Commander and Chief shows why he is one of the more knowledgeable sports fan to ever hold down the Oval Office. Simmons approaches the interview with a relaxed style that puts the President right at ease, making it feel just like two guys talking sports. We get a little insight into Obama’s daily routine, like watching Sports Center in the morning while working out with Michelle and sneaking in a game while reading his briefs after the wife and kids go to bed. Check out a clip of the BS Report, interview with the President above…..
