Dan Katz can suck a big fucking dick. Oh, my boss is a MAGA idiot. How was I supposed to know? I just want to spew hate about women and minorities.

He knows for whom he works. When barstool gets shut down, hopefully Katz goes down with it. That goes for anyone that works for that shithole of a company.

Eric Sollenberger, too.

I know you were all-inclusive, but I would like to make sure their biggest player of the "I didn't know, that's not me" card gets mentioned by name, as well.

I’ve been meaning to ask this ... could barstool have “bought” his whole PFT persona where he wouldn’t be able to go elsewhere as the same character? Not that it makes it ok, but adds a wrinkle.

Yes, they could have bought the character as intellectual property for an agreed length of time or in perpetuity. They could have then paid him (or someone else) to play the character.

But keep passive-aggressively defending Barstool, Johnnie. Fight the good fight.

I was actually surprised to learn that barstool was going to sponsor a bowl game in the city I'm currently living in from a source that's not directly from this city.

Hey, if you really meant it that way I sincerely apologize. I took it (as I said) as a passive-aggressive snide remark about how we dog on Barstool here. But I admit I probably jumped to the wrong conclusion.

It's all good.

I just wish Big Cat and PFT (along with Zero Blog Thirty) would leave Barstool.

I don't think there's any way they can (or should be able to) get the stink off them. They've been there the whole time and the things that have been done there cover all sorts of stripes (racism, homophobia, misogyny, supporting rape culture, and on and on and on and on), certainly enough that if either of them really cared about being respected as a human being, they would have long since left.

Fuck them.

There's a billion avenues to get sports content, and if you feel the need to get it from them "because they tell it like it is" or "they're unapologetic about who they are", you're part of the problem. It is an echo chamber devoid of any common courtesy or kindness, leaning on a public that loves a hot take to get social interaction on the internet. Fuck them. You have that platform to reach people and that misogynistic, boot licking, alpha male bullshit is all they can come up with? Fuck. That. Shit.
Is your newsletter available online or must one subscribe via U.S. mail?

Looking at a distribution model currently, COVID kinda interrupted the media rollout.

Which means what? He should have known better than joining up because they were what they have always been by that time. I mean, Portnoy had called Sam Ponder a "fucking slut" back in 2014, which is why they lost their "Barstool Van Talk" show after one episode.

You said he's been there the whole time. He hasn't. He got an opportunity from Barstool that probably no one else offered him and he's entertaining. There are many talented actors, writers, musicians, and others who work for shitty companies and shitty people like Portnoy; I'm not gonna reject the content they provide because of it.

I really hope that that 'you' in your sentence is the general 'you' and not specifically a 'you' intended for EdRomero.

I remember meeting EdR a long while back and he's a good dude. And certainly not worth scorn on a level like that.

Media Matters posted about the potential Barstool-MLB partnership. It is three paragraphs followed by an impressively long list of what they have accomplished. Frankly, the pulldown menu is pretty impressive:
