Yeah that's it. Media convergence has kind of screwed with my recognition ability there. I know he did something on deadspin but if it's just he was shitposting there that makes sense to me.

This is 100% true from what I remember.

Also wasn’t PFTC at SB Nation before the Barstool deal? From what we’ve learned over the past few years, the only job there that’s safe is that of Jon Bois (as he has seniority and is reportedly very tight with several of their execs). I think if he had stayed there he would have been part of the same firings that got the Fullcast crew.

You could maybe justify him taking the barstool gig originally with this argument, there is no way to justify him continuing to work there once be became a big star. He doesn't need them anymore at this point and the association already cost him a show on ESPN. He is staying because he wants to stay and doesn't care that his entire purpose is laundering the rest of barstool's gross bullshit and giving them a face the mainstream is comfortable with. People need to stop making excuses for him just because they think he's funny.

My name is Oliver Queen...
In yesterday's Funbag Magary talked about how he had been friends with PFT for years going back to before he joined Barstool and how it took him a while to come to terms with PFT being complicit in the behavior of people like Portnoy. It's got to suck that much more if you had a personal relationship with the guy.

Not that it justifies defending Portnoy, but hasn’t PFT been pretty open about the fact that he wanted to work at Deadspin but when they finally interviewed him, they just wanted dirt on SBNation the entire time and clearly had no intent to actually hire.

Jesus Christ, "water carrier" is a compliment at this point. He's a pathetic piece of poo poo. All he had to do was wait until the suit in question was filed the next day, instead, he runs with what amounts to a preemptive PR strike from an accused abuser's attorney. Then after it's shown that he hosed up, he admits no mistake and barely even acknowledges the facts that show how he hosed up. He's despicable.

True. But he’s not mad about the new name. He’s just mad it’s not the Staples Center anymore. I imagine he would have the same meltdown even if the new name was something “classier” like IBM Arena or something.

On an alternate note maybe they could take the tack towards the DBZ baseball fight episode, a true classic, and just have a horde of mascots beating the poo poo out of each other.
