But if you don’t feel bad for this guy, then you have no soul. And it wasn’t even a question. My god, what a career that could’ve been. And it’s not because Greg was a bad dude or made bad decisions. And you know what else happened that year? I’m going to ask you to put the phone down. Because I love you, man. You came to our party once in college....
On today’s Pardon My Take… BOOGER MCFARLAND! People are starting to give him the credit he deserves! I mean, look at these stats… 12 in black and gold. He has the chance to win this prestigious trophy, despite not being a QB.
So this Kaleb Johnson kid is apparently pretty good. Wouldn’t Ohio State have wanted the services of their homegrown star? But that’s a tired take. How many gifs in a row can I put before it becomes too much? But even more so than that….talk about one of the biggest lies ever told in world history! I’d list my current rankings at: #3. Bill Clinton saying he didn’t have sexual relations with that woman...
October baseball baby, drink it in. The first day of the MLB postseason was highlighted by starting pitching. Tarik Skubal, Corbin Burnes, and Cole Ragans all delivered gems for their teams. The one who topped them all though? That’d be San Diego’s Michael King. How’s 7 shutout innings, 12 strikeouts, and no walks in your first ever postseason start? This was a masterclass. When Yankees fans saw his name in the deal they winced....
The Dallas Cowboys are 2-2. You’d think at some point the organization would grow tired of mediocrity. Just look at the smile on ol' Jerruh. It’s a beautiful thing, really. We need this man to live a long, long, long and prosperous life. Here’s to hoping he still has a few more decades ahead of him. Because as long as Jerry is still kickin' out there, we can expect the same old Cowboys....
I think it’s fair to say that Kyrie Irving isn’t exactly well-liked in the city of Boston. Players lie all the time. As we saw, Kyrie was pretty terrible in the Finals overall, but especially in Boston. Like he said, it’s not like he got clamped by a bunch of scrubs. See how easy it is to give the Champs their proper credit and respect? If Kyrie can do it then anyone can!...
I vividly remember the first time I heard of Kevin Smith’s movies. I mean, “Why not?” was my first tattoo based on this speech of his…. He signed my copy of his unused ‘Superman Lives’ script “Fuck Tim Burton!” I’d say in that moment he truly earned a fan for life. Just a couple years ago we did that again at HQ2, and it went super well…. So remember, don’t meet your heroes - unless they’re Kevin Smith....
Im done with the whole “power ranking” bullshit. Im not qualified to give an opinion on good football teams because Ive never had one. But you know what I am qualified to talk about? Twenty-four years of garbage football. So if theres one thing I know, its trash. Want to know something else? I love to hate. Welcome to the shit show 6. Denver Broncos I have absolutely no idea how this team is 2-2they’re terrible....
It’s already been a brutal preseason for the Montreal Canadiens. I gotta be honest–I don’t have a massive issue with that hit. Sure, he catches Dach up high. And in the NHL, you’re going to need to answer the bell for those things. But Greig didn’t seem too eager to drop the gloves after the hit. Don’t want to fight? You probably shouldn’t go around looking to catch guys with their head turned away....
It also means we get the official “goodbye” posts from those involved. Little did I know that this place would become my home, and its people would become my family. I’ll cherish the friendships I’ve made and the battles we’ve fought together. To the incredible fans, your support has meant the world to me. It gave me strength on and off the court. I’ll never forget it. You’ll always hold a special place in my heart....
We all saw what happened with Davante Adams yesterday. Not the other shitty trades. Not the missed draft picks. Nope, trading Davante Adams for a second round pick is the breaking point. Again, it’s not like Damian Lillard can relate. He never once requested his own trade. He never once was sent to a better team and left his former team with less talent. I do respect the fact Dame just used his fan brain here....
Lucha Libre is truly professional wrestling in its purest form!
It’s a slower Wednesday here at Barstool HQ. Poetic justice like you read about. Have we ever seen a sport where one player means that much to its viewership? I don’t think it’s crazy to say we haven’t? The only answer here might be that we need to bring back rigging in the sports.
