Bill Simmons & Dave Dameshek Banned From Adam Carolla's Podcast By ESPN??

On his podcast with Teresa Strasser and Bald Bryan yesterday, Adam Carolla went off into a lengthy tangent about how his buddies Bill Simmons and Dave Dameshek had been banned from doing his podcasts by their employer ESPN. Check it out:

Adam Carolla On Simmons & Dameshek Ban

I love Carolla! Just thought that should be put out there first and foremost lol.

Anyway, I hope this shit isn't true because Bill Simmons and Adam Carolla together is magic. I loved the B.S. Report with Pedif-Isle, I loved the "Fast & Furious" review, I loved the Spunk Shui idea, I love all that shit so this is terrible news, if its true. Same with Dameshek. I only heard him on Carolla's podcast once, but it was good stuff and the David Carradine stuff was classic.

TheBigLead.com has claimed to have gotten an e-mail confirmation from Simmons saying this isn't true. Simmons himself had this to say on Twitter earlier about the situation:

"Please don't think I condoned my friend Carolla's juvenile/misguided rant yesterday. He poured gasoline on a four-inch bonfire. Just stupid." Via @sportsguy33

I'm confused. I have no idea who to believe but fuck, I want more Simmons/Carolla podcasts and fuck, I wanna be invited to Jimmy's house on Sundays to watch football! And yes, there is a possibility I'd want to go to Jimmy's and watch football more than I'd wanna hear the Carolla/Simmons collabo again lol.
