I finally looked into that a Barstool thing. It seems pretty trashy.

Seems to be overloaded with the bro shtick.

Big Cat and PFT Commenter are hilarious.

The rest of the clowns there? Generally Insufferable. The head guy is a classic Masshole, and there’s some hockey dude “Jordie” who’s an obnoxious Flyers fan.

Seems like a best case scenario 2009 Pens Blog.
That’s not a compliment to either.

I thought his first article was just fine.

Recently, I was trying track down a friend from elementary school. His name popped up in article about American Legion baseball, which was written by MM.

Has Yohe started speaking with a fake Canadian accent?

Review of the new Spearmint Rhino on the North Shore I presume?

[Morkle]

Columnists that say the Jaguars have to chance of winning should wager their jobs if they're that convinced.

It is remarkable that any columnist that alleges to be a writer for the Pittsburgh Steelers can have the gall to say that.

Is he a 6th grade girl?

@JMackeyPG
Patric Hornqvist, who took his daughter to Disney over the break, said he went probably 20 years ago. That's a hell of a thing to think about, no? A little version of Hornqvist, there.

Why was cowherd on 105.9

Why was cowherd on 105.9

Double M is obsessed with him. Echoes all his dumb takes as if they’re gospel.

I just don’t get how Cowherd got so big.

[slappybrown]

Madden likes cowherd???!?!!??

Wtf

[columbia]

That’s weird.

Madden really cracked me up yesterday, when he was talking about Ben’s forthcoming pub on the North Side:

“Todd Haley and his wife have already been banned.”

Has Yohe started speaking with a fake Canadian accent?

probably a temporary Minnesota accent so he could get noticed by "Dad" in two weeks.

Perhaps I didn’t listen long enough it sounded like it was actually his show. I listened for like 5 minutes and madden didn’t speak once. And it turned it off after cowherd said “lev yin” Bell 10 times

I listened to an interview this morning with Bill Madden, the baseball columnist for the NY Daily News. My God, what a difference it makes to have professional journalists covering local sports.

I personally love Biertempfel because he’s a PSU man, but Travis Sawchik is literally one of the best in the business.

So naturally he’s in a national-type gig for Fangraphs. Granted he writes for the Cleveland Athletic page too.

[DigitalGypsy66]

Sawchick covered Clemson for the Post and Courier in Charleston before getting the Pirates beat. I'm probably one of the few people that still follow him on the Twitter machine from back in the day. Good writer.

[Dickie Dunn]

Sawchick is a good writer. Beer Temple should be jettisoned into space.
