Speaking of which, he spends an hour in studio with W&S today. Should be a better listen than B&G complaining about Kaepernick on Bears Friday.


What time is he supposed to be on with them?

Katie Nolan is amazing.

I think 5-6. That's at least what BigCat posted yesterday

Because people like to complain and dig up old posts from 2010 before Barstool became mainstream. Heck even that stuff was before BigCat joined and launched Barstool's Chicago page.

The most hilarious thing is they are called anti-semitic when their founder and Big Cat are both members of the tribe. It just proves those hurling the insults don't even have a basic understanding of the company.

The misogynist claim is also hilarious when you consider they are the only sports media company with a female CEO. :lol:

Basically people are told by Deadspin and Julie that Barstool is awful and they take that as the truth and don't examine it themselves.

Deadspin must really be pissed as Barstool is killing them in Alexa rankings.

I assume all of the people complaining about him tainting (yeah, I said taint) the sacred tradition of singing "Take Me Out To The Ballgame" in the 7th inning of Cubbie games weren't around when Harry was openly drooling over Marla Collins on air.

Yes, and they should find a few other Harry renditions to rotate in, besides the same old one with him in a seersucker suit. I mean, come on...there have to be other good versions available.

I forgot about that. IIRC he talked about her so much that she got a spread in Playboy. And then got fired for it...

Don't worry, she went on to be the devoted wife of the Macho Man. She probably should have stayed away from Lex Luger though.
