I don't think they understand if you have the word sports in your name, then maybe I dunno talk sports.

You have this lady talking in soft tones about her pain and in the background is some guy talking about taking a shit and others laughing.

For some reason it cracked me up

One of the things Barstool really has going for it is the merchandising on their site. They said about 1/3rd of their revenue comes from their online store. I think everyone in New England has their Goodell clown shirt by now.

its not good at all. and i enjoy barstool rundowns, pmt, and follow presidente/big cat on twitter.

what is funny throughout is deadspin continually attempting to take them down.

That's the best. Every little thing becomes a headline on Deadspin. I think Deadspin thought the "sign away your right to be offended" thing was going to be the beginning of the end of Barstool, only to realize that MANY creative outlets in the entertainment industry have the exact same contractual clauses after the Friends fiasco. Even the comments on that piece couldn't hide it, and it was great.

It's not even difficult.

Just post an article every time one of these fucking idiots says something stupid that might entertain a 12 year old boy (or MANY members of CFMB).

yeah, deadspin is already crippled compared to barstool. its like why keep bringing them up? what a horrible business decision.

it shouldn't be difficult. you are right. but its deadspin. when you read these "takedown" pieces you often find yourself on the side of barstool or not being moved to care at all.

Apparently Barstool imploded on Twitter last night.

Probably all a work. I'm sure Ogie has the details.

_________________

Apparently it involved Michael Rappaport shooting on barstool, which means it's a work.

In other news the Barstool Radio guy who said something about the 17-year old snowboarder got fired from his terrestrial gig. Sure hope those stoolies are buying Sirius subscriptions!

Any 22 year old that wouldn't want to date her in ten weeks is an idiot.

some dude at barstool and michael rappaport hate each other. barstool paid rappaport to make podcasts under the barstool umbrella.

rappaport called all the "stoolies" a bunch of losers or some crap during a twitter fight with the barstool guy. portnoy fired him the next morning. per portnoy they were paying him well over 100k a year to make podcasts.

what a bunch of snowflakes.

like all companies have these types of problems. even media companies. but i hardly believe anyone wants all this laundry aired. which happened here over twitter. which is hilarious.

So I was listening to barstool and they were talking about some blowup between some guy Nate and Dave. Can someone give some context?

I tried googling and got this

Wtf is going on? This seems like some real basic bitch female drama. I thought this was a male sports site?

Ogie is presumably off for the holiday, but I can step in and try:

People who were online friends and/or imitators of Drew Magary did a Boston-themed sports blog with less bitching about ESPN and more "hey fellas, how about some boobs" clickbait. Then it got really popular and went national -- never let it be said that America doesn't love boobs. Then, as Deadspin went from Will Leitch to A.J. Daulerio and pivoted to wallowing in its own filth until Daulerio got the whole place sued out of business, Deadspin pivoted again to culture-war affairs and took up arms against the other Jewish semi-underachievers up the coast who were making the same dumb rape jokes as they were and not even in danger of going out of business for it.

The end result is that Deadspin, whose reason for being was to put a check on ESPN, are now allies of ESPN as they push the same cultural issues and oppose Barstool.

Why does Big Cat appear on ESPN1000? Is he their version of Oak Park Vandy? Barstool is a horrible channel by the way.

Julie’s soyboy friend is writing the 10000th ‘hit piece’ on Barstool. Their obsession with Barstool is so phony since they write articles solely for clicks. I don’t think they understand that stuff like this makes Barstool more popular since they thrive on drama.

Barstool is awful. Deadspin makes me root for Barstool.

That's how bad Deadspin is.

No, I meant that Barstool Big Cat is on with Waddle and Silvy. I don't get it. He's about as interesting as Oak Park Vandy was. I agree about the sound quality.

McCafee’s show was awesome. I don’t like the Bachelor or other gossipy stuff so I’m not going to listen to Chicks in the Office. Never listened to a minute of “Dialed In” with Dallas Braden. I’ll tune in to Big Cat’s Evening Yak but I don’t get why he has unlistenable interns on with him. I’m cool with interns but put on interns that can put a sentence together.
