    Rethinking Barstool?

    I assume it’s you who suspended me for other people in this thread being emotionally unhinged. If so, you’re one of the most over-reactive cunts on the internet, aside from the other most over-reactive cunts on the internet populating this thread. Enjoy a lifetime of crying on each other’s...

    Speaking of predictable... Good job. Good effort.

    Rethinking Barstool?

    I don’t know, toughen up a bit and stop playing stupid? And for the commentariat, maybe stop pretending that she’s not in on it? You’re picking one outrage profiteer over another.

    Rethinking Barstool?

    I’m not going to pretend that I’m bothered by it for two reasons: 1. When the tiger attacked Roy in Vegas, it didn’t go crazy - it went tiger. She’s a smart adult. She knows her subject and given those two things she has to be prepared for how he may react. I view that as a necessary...

    Rethinking Barstool?

    It’s good for his business and it’s nothing for people to go to their fainting couches over. Laura Wagner is trying to get traffic to Deadspin through a concerted effort to target Barstool because of its popularity. She is not owed a line in the sand that allows no more than a proportional...

    Rethinking Barstool?

    How is any of what your describing different than your experience on certain members only parts of this board, or others that you’ve participated in? I’m willing to allow that you’ve matured like other people, but Portnoy’s unwillingness to change makes him vile now. Eh. Edit: Deadspin is...

    You could search Price’s timeline in 5 minutes and get it. He marks script numbers. I don’t want good writers to lose jobs but Bedard is smarmy jerk who pretends to care about being a local while talking down to the audience with glee at every opportunity. He’s carping about “New York...

    Greg Bedard's - Boston Sports Journal

    For the last 9 months his subscription rates have been flattening. And now Bedard is now spending his time lobbying Twitter to suspend parody accounts. The competition also puts out a very nice product and doesn’t have to lament over its broken app every week. He’s done.

    Thoughts about media types who don't have their own threads

    So you’re the one. Those two are a special kind of self absorbed nitwit. That being said, what WEEI backfills with is probably going to be worse.

    WEEI: Midday with the Big O (and Merloni and Fauria) NOW IN PM DRIVE TIME!

    What’s Keefe’s best quality: the way he says suffering suckatash, or the way he articulates no more than 50% of a thought at a time? Not a big talent and that’s why he’s being demoted.

    Dan Shaughnessy: Taking a dump in your mouth one column at a time

    Shaughnessy went to Foxborough for the annual renewal of his tough guy bona fides. Now he can chirp away at the beat reporters being sheep, while not setting foot down there again until the first home playoff game. It must be personally encouraging to him that people still fall for it.

    Greg Bedard's - Boston Sports Journal

    Asking employees to cover multiple beats does not assume paltry coverage. No matter which business model he chose, he'd need to grow customer count. He hasn’t. Its only agitating in the sense that I’d buy into a subscription site, but there isn’t a local one worthy to justify the spend on...

    I thought I covered that when I wrote, "You could make the case for that approach if he had the requisite growth in subscriber count, but he flat-lined after 45 days or so." You could probably do a good site with one Red Sox writer, one Pats writer, and one editor/owner, and then make everyone...

    7 people plus the substitute teacher from Mashpee, Loyko, on 8100 customers who are paying between $2.08 and $4.99 per month, not inclusive of the lifetime members. He built a company before he built a business, unless he's capitalized to survive that much payroll and travel. You could make...

    BSJ is probably relieved because it trims expense. Bedard's all done. 8147 subscriptions, half of those came in the first month. Little marketing, unlikable front man. bloated staff. The Athletic is going to run right past him.

    Bob Hohler runs ad on Brady's charity endeavors

    When Mrs Pizutti Onassis Henry hits a sufficient number of milestones in her prenup. The Globe is a tool for the Red Sox to compete with the Patriots through low key slander, and to grind axes with employees who left on bad terms, in addition to their primary mission as PR division.
