Can we go back to hating PC? There’s a game tonight

Both/and yet again.
I'm here now, with haiku and more on tap.

2. Oh you mean the people that casually accused him of sexual assault? And he had the receipts to back that up that it was false?

No, I was thinking more like when he said girls who were skinny jeans deserve to be raped

Portnoy is a turd I can’t believe people waste energy defending him

He is a degen, but I love his pizza reviews and what he did for small business when they were forced to close is something great

I never followed Barstool but a couple buddies of mine used to play weekly basketball with Big Cat and they say he's the nicest guy you could ever meet. I watched his interview with Calhoun and those dudes love Calhoun, Hurley, and UConn

Big Cat and Titus are probably the only guys worth listening to at barstool when it comes to college hoops. For everyone else the season starts in March lol

1. I don't even necessarily remember the exact details of the N word issue but I believe that African American employees at the time put out a podcast with the actual word spelled out and he was referring to that. Don't try and paint the picture he was referring to or calling people that. That's a pretty despicable insinuation.

3. Ok so a boneheaded statement about employment legality.

Nothing about the millions raised to small businesses and charities either through direct contributions or exposure?

This is embarrassing dude. Just admit you don't care that he's a piece of garbage and we can both move on.

I watched his interview with Calhoun and those dudes love Calhoun, Hurley, and UConn. I know Portnoy from his pizza reviews which are a good thing in a time where small business is getting crushed. He's an annoying button pusher but anyone who raises that kind of money for people certainly isn't all bad.

The Calhoun interview was really good. Don’t know if I’ve ever seen him go this in depth on his career.

You can do some reading on Portnoy if you want, but I promise you he's not a good guy. Plenty of awful people donate to charity.

Ah yes, that's the source.

No forgetting, and I see what you did.

Mine was genuine curiousity as to what others might be thinking after reading something far more direct, extreme, provocative, and inflammatory (and presumably less likely to be true) being posted with no equivocation whatsoever... primarily to see if anybody has been developing some sense of what might be worth pursuing as legally actionable or not (and why), beyond merely harnessing emotions about something and trying to round up support toward forging consensus opinions as to what's in questionable taste or propriety, when it shows up in via innuendo or supposition, under cover of plausibly claimed uncertainty about the story's veracity.

It was either that, or adding a, "One bite, everybody knows the rules" quip.

I guess if 2 media guys are going at it, who cares IMO. They are both public figures. If one media guy is going after some unknown 20 something that put a lot of work into a film that bothers me more

Much ado about nothing!

Bringing this thread back to the original premise...

Not only did this make Front Office Sports How An Anonymous Fan’s Homemade Documentary Sparked a Big East Basketball Firestorm but it's covered in today's Front Office Sports Today podcast. The author, Amanda Christovich (a Georgetown Alum & huge Big East fan, btw) spoke all about it. Fascinating conversation!

It's like "Real Housewives of the Big East"

Is front office sports a big deal?

They're part of the Redbird IMI portfolio now (Jeff Zucker lead media investors) Redbird Invests in Front Office Sports. You're starting to see them more & more, like Sports Business Journal, Sportico, and others.

Them and the Sports Business Journal are probably the 2 best sports business media entities. I get their daily e-mail updates with articles. Obviously sports is big business these days and they cover this topic pretty well.

That's funny, I get emails from Front Office Sports every day for some reason and I just assumed it was some weird spam-bot.

Beat me to my question, I feel like I subscribe to and/or read pretty much all the major sports sites to get news and info and I've never even heard of them. I appear to be missing something based on the responses above me, though their website looks like it was made by a HS student with a minor interest in digital media

Amanda Christovich was really insightful and funny on the podcast this morning. Definitely worth a listen.
