Thatās a net positive for the Ringer
Kevin OāGoner
Kevin O bomber Keeeeee-vviiiiiiiiiiiin
his twitter is hilarious dude is Elonās number one dickrider
Taking his cybertruck rental to the local pizza restaurant to celebrate
Bringing his unique approach of shit takes and even worse analysis
I remember when Bill Simmons hired him he said he found the next Zach Lowe
Can the Ringer PLEASE elevate J. Kyle Mann now? I have no idea why he isn’t more front and center.
I genuinely don’t know why I listened to the Mismatch for an entire nba season once
Kevin O bye bye
I wonder what the Ringer is going to do for their draft coverage now. Yahoo is going to have KOC and Krysten Peek. They still have J Kyle Mann, but he doesn’t really do mock drafts like KOC did (unless that’s going to be his new role now)
Hopefully they get a real prospect guy to do their draft coverage, he was awful
Always weird to be reminded Yahoo exists.
Thank god heās gone. But I wonder what the next big move is for the Ringer. They got a big fish in Howard Beck last year. Letās see what uncle bill has in his sleeve.
Edit – now that I think about it, Rob Mahoney is one of the most under the radar nice podcaster /writer out there. Hope Bill gives him a larger role.
He went from being a guy that watched games and knew hoops to a guy that acted like he watched games and spewed garbage
Insert oh no, anyway meme
Now whats Vernon gonna do?
Killian Hayes buying Yahoo stock
from KOC twitter: For fans of The Mismatch: On Monday @ChrisVernonShow and I will record an episode together to detail whatās next for the each of us.

KOC getting traded before Trae Young is beautiful.
Dime Drop!
Biggest addition by subtraction ever for The Ringer. KOC was terrible.
Im ecstatic about this because it means he wonāt be shitting up the ringer anymore and I can finally ignore him for good.
Is he going to move out of his momās place now?
Fuck him
Kevin O’Canyoustfu
I really like the Mismatch but found KoC underwhelming outside of it. I’m also not very interested in the draft and that seemed to be his strength.
my favorite moment of his ringer tenure was when Jackie MacMullan called him “KFC”
Between Zach lowe, duncd on basketball, hollinger and Duncan, and the rights to Ricky Sanchez, I don’t need a other podcast about the NBA in my life
So now hes bringing his stupid ass takes and joining fischer. Lol what a duo
Damn I kinda liked the mismatch show, mainly because they didnāt take it too seriously and had good chemistry.
That being said the other dude was the star of it anyway so hopefully they pair him with someone else thatās good
Wait ā¦ so no more missmatch?
So no more mismatch? Thatās too bad, good for him though.
They grabbed Ariel Helwani too, theyāre making a push it seems
OāConner is a Musk bootlicking dweeb, worst of luck to him in his future endeavors
So glad he is gone
āUnique approachā is one way to describe it
He must be turned recently being a swifty and Elon fan
Good, Iād heard enough from KOC
One of the worst non ESPN talking head basketball “analyst” around.
Dude is a troll with none of the intelligence or charisma.
Imagine if Bill Simmons pooped in a ditch, 9 months later KOC popped up
KOC is so bad now, so happy heās leaving the ringer
This dude has made a career off of hating the Celtics
Vernon is free, I can listen again!
(knock on wood)
