Amidst the Chaos of the Patriots, Alex Van Pelt is Taking the Dreaded High Road

(And know two who left this Earth in the middle of the season who did as well.) I’ve had my frustrations with AVP for sure. He might be an innocent bystander in all this. A victim of his own team’s failings, with the luxury of pointing fingers. Simply put, the Patriots were not ready for this game, on any level. Despite having two weeks to prepare for a sub-.500 team coming off three straight losses....

Clap Your Hands, Everybody: A Bunch of Protestors Got Arrested After Staging A Sit-In To Block The New 76ers Arena Vote

If only they would act like normal fucking human beings. Talk about how much this team sucks and doesn’t deserve a new arena. Talk about how that little rat bastard Josh Harris should be considered Enemy No. 1 in Philadelphia as the owner of the Washington Commanders. Giving him a new arena in Philly is simply supplying our enemy with more resources. About how the traffic situation is going to be an absolute nightmare with putting the arena downtown....

Forecaster Frank NFL Week 16: Holiday Rush

After two straight weeks of sub .500 play, I went 9-7 in Week 15. My season record is 122-96-6. Thursday Night This game will go a long way in deciding the AFC playoff picture. As of now, both teams will be in the postseason. The Chargers won earlier in the season in Denver. The Broncos defense can force turnovers, but Justin Herbert’s experience will be the difference. The Texans are a division champ and have a solid defense....

Francis is an Idiot

Let me get this out front by saying I know I’m not the smartest person here at Barstool. There won’t be any back-and-forth from me and Big Red. I love Francis; in fact, you could say I’m a fan. But he makes you feel like he’d do it regardless, and knowing him, he probably would. So while you’re a genius, you’ve also shown yourself to be a complete moron. I thought I was watching Mintzy up there, not a Harvard graduate....

How NBA Three-Point Shooting Has Ballooned Over The Years Using Data Visualization

I’m not here to tell you anything new. I’m just here to visualize what you already know. And we all know three-point shooting is off the rails. Even the hardest nosed NBA heads are realizing it. Shaq’s going off. Gilbert Arenas is going off. And so are TVs across America. Ratings are down some 28% from last year through November. Three-point shooting is far from the NBA’s only issue. But it will be the focus of this blog....

John Tortorella Almost Had To Homicide A Ref After He Changed His Mind About Calling A Penalty

It’s been a while since we’ve had a good ol' fashioned Torts meltdown on the bench. He’s been much more subdued this season than in previous years. Last night was not one of those instances… I mean you could hear it clear as day on the broadcast. Everybody in the arena saw it. Kenny Albert says “penalty coming up against the Red Wings”. Then Eddie O says the arm went down, you hear some whistling, and all hell breaks loose....

Kirk "Benedict Arnold" Herbstreit Says No Ohio State Coaches Texted Him Congratulations On His Son Committing To Michigan

To be clear, I don’t fault Chase. However I completely fault Kirk for not realizing he is the circus clown Pawn in The Game. Everyone appears to know it except for him. And Michigan is going to portray him as that.

Liquid Death Rolled Out A $75 Adult Leather Diaper And It's Flying Off The Shelves

I like Liquid Death. Nobody else in the water industry does badass. Liquid Death is original. But when Liquid Death hit the market, I definitely thought it would be a flash in the pan. No chance would it catch on well-enough to actually make the company money. Since hardcore water was such a smashing success, Liquid Death is taking on a new challenge. Which should be a much easier sell....
