A 12-part series on Jared Lorenzen. Each pass or run he attempted in the regular gets its own 60-minute episode, with his playoff QB sneak getting a special 90-minute one, and the final episode being a 2-hour tribute exploring the origins of his many, many nicknames.

Except a hypothetical Buttfumble 30 For 30 should not be associated with trash in any way.

It's absolutely perfect that they are using the real names of writers, instead of the stupid Barstool nicknames.

quote:

The Daily Beast also suggested that Portnoy hired retired high school plumbing teacher Vincent LeVine, who went viral for a short video about his obsession with Facebook, to harass and send memes to Portnoy’s targets.

It's drilled down to just exactly what has happened on-record. Some of the bullets are worse than the others but the article does a good job establishing patterns of abuse and misconduct.

I only knew of barstool as being unrepentant shitheads by reputation, so seeing a very long list of their bullshit was actually good to read. God I hate how much these dickheads have been awarded for this kind of behavior.

Something from that article MediaMatters didn't highlight enough

According to The Daily Beast, blogger Francis Ellis published and then quickly deleted a post that slut-shamed a then-missing 23-year-old college woman. Ellis was later fired for the blog post."

This was a case that happened in Salt Lake City shortly after I moved here. The woman in question was killed with enough blunt-force trauma that chunks of her skull flew off, and the murderer torched her dead body. The guy who did it said he just wanted to know what killing someone felt like.

This: "After a video of a Dodgers ball girl tackling a trespassing fan on the field went viral, blogger Conner “Big Tennessee” Knapp described the woman as a “24-year-old ROCKET” and someone who “does not disappoint.”

Is maybe the only other thing on that list where depending on how you read it I'm not entirely sure if it belongs there.

So does anyone think MLB actually looked into what kind of content Barstool is responsible for before they signed that agreement, or did they just take Tom Ricketts's word for it?

I’m not sure the agreement’s been signed yet, honestly. Last I’d heard they were one of a few platforms they were considering.

I could be wrong though

The hope would that it'd be like when PMT had an ESPN show for like five seconds and then it immediately got killed off due to backlash before it really got going but that might be giving Manfred too much credit.

The fact that barstool was even in the running makes me think MLB had one streaming bid and they were desperately looking for help driving the price up

The official account of NFL Tackle Phil Loadholt.

Let's talk Football.
Barstool is going to continue to be appealing to a ton of brands, leagues, and people because it has a massive following from the coveted ad demographic. It should have way too much baggage but as we know businesses are stupid as gently caress.

It should be alarming to any league though given their treatment of everyone who isn’t a tiki torch carrying young man.
