    ESPN Is Pathetic

    That's would be a really bad way to grow a fanbase. It's great for diehards but awful for casuals. There's a lot of value of being able to casually come across events.

    Who are they and what points do they make? Trying to pull something out of substance from your post but you're making it mighty difficult.

    How? Would be helpful to explain your thinking as opposed to throwing around buzzy terms.

    ESPN Is Pathetic

    ESPN wants to maintain the same levels of revenue. Currently it can charge smaller fees per customer because the fee is spread out across all cable subscribers even if the customer doesn't care about ESPN. If it just sells to people who want to watch ESPN it is receiving revenue from fewer...

    2022 Boston College Football

    Hope Hafley’s resume is updated. So many balls off receivers hands. And so many penalties.

    Rethinking Barstool?

    Frates ran around with a bunch of guys at BC who knew / wrote for the Barstool newspaper and given Portnoy’s “kingmaker” ability to make things viral I wouldn’t be so dismissive. The ice bucket challenge didn’t just go viral because people randomly found Frates Vanilla Ice video. I don’t really...

    Rethinking Barstool?

    No I think you’re super hipster. Hipsters are super annoying about innocuous things. The woke comment adds to it.

    Rethinking Barstool?

    I don’t deny it’s a thing. I disagree with your premise that in the US it’s (1) primarily an adoption of a Japanese term and not a shortening of the word sandwich and (2) it’s somehow weird, wholly unnecessary, gross (all your words) and something that needs to stop. Your attitude towards this...

    Rethinking Barstool?

    Thanks for the Google suggestion. Hadn’t heard of that place. So all these places that have “normal” sandwiches that look nothing like Japanese sandos but use the term sandos are doing what exactly? Wild thought, the owner probably has no idea what a sando is but has heard the term and thought...

    It’s a shortening of the word sandwich. Claiming it’s anything beyond that is foolish.

    Realignment 2023: Whither the Pac12?

    As opposed to the existing Wake-BC games? It’s already stupid. This is no different than what currently exists.

    Rethinking Barstool?

    They aren’t the only attraction, the core 3 like working for / with Dave, they’re under contract (or at least PFT), they get benefit from the Barstool infrastructure / world and running your own podcast profitably is probably a giant pain. Big Cat basically built Barstool with Dave to what it is...

    I cheat. I try to go to my vault of knowledge with the goal of obscurity then check by googling. I’m doing it for me so I have no moral issues.
