I definitely agree that barstool sucks at pretty much every level these days, but I thought that was an odd tweet to highlight when I saw that tweet. Chaps has been doing that same exact bit on Twitter for like a decade now. Which I think speaks to a bit of their issue in a way, but that’s been a pretty consistent running joke for him for a long long time, so not the best sign to point to of the ship going downhill

Maybe speaks more to people eventually wearing out of the same joke/content being rehashed over and over. Not really related to chaps here but once you go through a couple cycles of the typical barstool attention drives, you start seeing more and more how much of it is so manufactured and it’s basically like a reality show with less interesting people and with an HR department. They’ve been doing the same “this employee hates the other employee” drama farming playbook for like 25 years now

Would love to see Barstool parodied on something like Eastbound and Down.

I always knew big cat was from Massachusetts but seeing that pic of him in the Brady jersey and the way he acted about that whole situation was wild lol.
it’s pretty pathetic that he claim to be this die hard bears & cubs fan when in reality he probably started following the teams around 06-07 when he originally moved to Chicago, So the character he played of this lifelong struggling Chicago sports fan probably turned a lot of people off. Especially the people around the Chicago area that are literally diehards.

What are the rules for becoming a diehard fan?

Do you have to be born into it?

I wonder how the whole Barstool Outdoors with Sydney Wells thing came about. Did they approach her or did she approach them? It’s on odd fit. I’ll check out her vids on YT every now and then because I like her father’s show.
