New year, new feud.

Bill Simmons kicked off 2019 with fierce words aimed at ESPN’s Scott Van Pelt, calling the sports personality “overrated” on his podcast.

“I think Van Pelt’s overrated as a gambling guy. That’s my hottest take in 2019 so far,” Simmons said Friday, according to The Big Lead. “Overrated. I’ll go head-to-head with Van Pelt.”

Van Pelt fired back the following day on Twitter.

“Tell me how gambling works, Bill. I’m apparently not a gambling guy. Or whatever you said. Again. How many free shots you think you get?” Van Pelt tweeted.

Simmons has previously vented on his podcast about Van Pelt, who runs a Bad Beats segment on his midnight “SportsCenter,” getting too much credit when it comes to discussing sports gambling in the media. Simmons ran an NFL picks column for years and does a weekly “Guess the Lines” podcast with “Cousin” Sal Iacono.

The scathing reply was in response to Simmons’ original message, “THE GREATEST COVER EVER,” a reference to the Seahawks’ two-point conversion late in a game in which their kicker, Sebastian Janikowski, had gotten injured.

When one follower reflected on the social media spar, tweeting: “Part of me thinks spats like these are what makes this platform so fun. Part of me thinks it’s silly that two guys who have two of the greatest jobs ever can’t just chill out and enjoy sports,” Van Pelt replied: “We do. None of this is real life s–t. He messes with me about this. I fired back. Who cares? You think I’m stewing over here? Relax.”

Given the new year is barely a week old, it’s almost a certainty more hot takes from Simmons are imminent.
