Kevin Faulk is not a guy you want to get in a fight with.

No more ESPN reporters getting news tips, and having Darren bully the editors for a spot on the byline because "it's a business story, and that's his beat".

And that's from someone who really isn't into MMA. Only minor gripe is I don't like whoever is doing the voice work. Edit: I guess it's Felix Biederman from Chapo Trap House who does the narration.

I read just enough of this to where I am...sort of sure it isn't a joke. For all their failings god bless deadspin for their chess coverage.quote:The World Champion had decided that he wanted to take his ball and go home, not even bothering to pretend that he was playing for a win in the final game of the World Championship, bailing his opponent out in a winning position with a huge advantage on the clock, in the belief that he would win the title in short-format tiebreaks. e: added quote. I wish I appreciated chess more than I do so I could feel this way. Grittybeard fucked around with this message at 16:22 on Nov 27, 2018 |

The by line at the end is great quote:The shorter-format games will be far more entertaining and accessible to the average fan, so follow along this historic day anywhere you can. After the absolutely insane drama of the first 12 games we are definitely due a big finish. I can’t wait.

I am aware that pretty much everybody on that field is wearing khakis, but a white kind in a polo shirt and khakis trying to fight a black dude whose hands are the size of his head is...it seems representational.

I'm new to Jon Bois but am a big MMA fan. Enjoyed the production sensibilities of the first two episodes. However, when they go through the history of Jiu-Jitsu and such is there any reason why they seem to have just read wikipedia and not done any actual research? This is my first time seeing one of his works and I had heard good things about previous stuff.

To be fair to Jon, the credits indicate he is "creative director" and did the video work while Felix did the writing and of course narration. So the research may not be anything Jon was directly involved in.

That is a rarity I now attribute to Faulk simply refusing to be cut. Starting in 2009, Bill Belichick probably informed Faulk annually that they were letting him go. Faulk replied with “nah” and the exact expression seen in that photo, and that was that. Faulk left the room still a Patriot, and Belichick just had to deal with that.

A company having poor labor practices is generally considered a problem with the people in charge, not its employees. I’m pretty sure Jon Bois isn’t someone with any sort of executive or even managerial role. On top of that, Barstool seems to exist solely for the purpose of normalizing racism and misogyny. SB Nation absolutely doesn’t.

SB Nation absolutely doesn’t. Yeah, I think the argument against SBNation is that they should treat more of their content producers like they treat Bois. Being mad at Bois for that seems weird. Also, while I don't support it, I at least can understand the stance of SBNation saying "If you don't think we compensate you enough, go somewhere else". Barstool's stance of attacking women online or apologizing for domestic abusers (and calling for their accusers to be jailed) is pretty far reasonable that I think it's pretty easy to separate them.

Yeah Bois is basically left to do his own thing, he's not a part of management there or anything. Plus you can appreciate someone's work while not liking where the person works. That's not that much of a stretch.

sb/vox seem to be the regular kind of banal corporate evil as opposed to barstool which, like, actively promotes a toxic corporate culture and racism and violent misogyny and blah blah blah blah blah i won’t begrudge anyone for suckling at the corporate teat in order to be allowed to be creative for a living
