Hey, it's Bill Simmons.

On Friday night, we got the tragic news

that a very talented actor named Chadwick Boseman

passed away after a four-year battle with colon cancer.

That a lot of us didn't know about, including myself.

I had a chance to interview him last November

for this podcast and really, really enjoyed the time

I spent with him that day.

And I thought it was a really good conversation

and a really good glimpse into what kind of guy he was.

So we thought we would rerun that right here.

Rest in peace, Chadwick Boseman.

You were an amazing actor.

Really enjoyed your work and we're all gonna miss ya.

Here it is.

All right, so I was looking through your IMDB,

your one sports movie away from being a sports movie hallfamer.

Oh, I gotta do one, yeah.

What is the worst thing?

We need another one more.

So Vante Mac, right?

I feel like a pretty iconic sports movie
