Quite a day. Arrived at the Marvin “Bad News” Barnes International Airport in Providence an hour before for my 8:18 a.m. United flight.
The plane was there but did not leave for two hours because it was missing some equipment. I didn’t get to Chicago until after 1 p.m. local time. I’m just now getting to the pressbox because I had to go right to the clubhouse.
Anyway, apparently some site called Barstool Sports made fun of me because of my post on the media game yesterday.
As frequent readers (or anybody with some level of intelligence) would understand, I was being sarcastic. The Barstool crew didn’t get that. But their writers do use single names, like Cher and Madonna do. Sweet. I wish my paper let me do that.
Jealous wannabes for 500 please.
A fight between these two groups of chubby blowhards would have made the fights in West Side Story look like Kill Bill on acid.
Come on, PA, admit it. That’s a great line.
How long did it take to attach the wings?
You know how you can tell if a person is cool? If they insult other people by calling them “gay.” The commenters on that Barstool mess, like to call people they don’t like “gay.” That’s all you need to know about them.
wow, i can’t believe what morons they are. guess that’s why they’re writing for barstool sports.
I am pretty sure that Barstool has something to do with the Sawx blog, Surviving Grady. I must admit that site is quite hilarious but if they are ranking on our Pete then the gloves come off.
If you only knew the breadth of subjects about which the meatheads at “Barstool Sports” have demonstrated complete ignorance, Peter. You should be flattered to be in such esteemed company. They’d be more accurate if they called it “Unemployable Meathead Sports” or “Recovering from a Mild Brain Injury Sports”.
Screw ‘em, Your the man!!
lol Pete, thats hillarious they took you serious. I think people need a reminder that this is a blog and not a newspaper where the lighthearted side of things are said
I have always been amazed at these newer Red Sox fans and their suck up media hoard that write and suck up to this Red Sox ownership group.
You would think with as good a team as they have this year, they can kick back and have some fun.
But, they are so caught up in what the Yankees do, what the members of the Yankees media contingent do, etc, they just can’t help themselves.
Its like they all have own the largest inferiority complexes known to mankind.
All this nonsense for what? A baseball game?
I remember going to Yankee games at Fenway Park, with my Yankee hat and/or t-shirt on, and never having any trouble with any Red Sox fans. Just some good natured ribbing but, that was it.
Now? All these young punks, all thinking they are tough guys, looking to fight. Over a freaking baseball game. Amazing.
I went to a game last year and it was amazing the amount of young punks who were looking to start something. Funny thing is, when you challenge them, which I did, they run away.
They were not only punks, they were cowards.
Larry Lucchino did a great marketing job creating this whole “Evil Empire” thing. Its made the Red Sox a lot of money along the way.
But, its created a generation of fans who are nothing more than a bunch of frontrunning punks who can’t even enjoy when they have a good team.
Next, it will graduate itself (as it has, sadly to some Yankee fans) by only defining “success” with a World Series Championship EVERY year.
An entire generation of fans, caught up in the WEEI, Evil Empire nonsense. Sad, really.
They miss out on the fun of following a baseball season, making new friends, meeting new people, etc.
Now, everyone is a “tough guy”. Even pseudo-members of the media. Very, very sad.
So what would your tag be if you could be *cough* “cool” like them, Pete?
“P-Abey”?
“P-Licious”?
“Biff”?
“Konntroversy”?
“Pain”?
Just curious, man.
“Intelligence” being the keyword in your sentence !
Pete, you also got a mention on the With Leather blog. They even put your picture up there.
Barstool sports? Please, that must be as heart wrenching as Jeter getting critiqued by the coach of the Queensbury little league softball team.
Why are you giving a link to that garbage, Pete? Free traffic is the last thing those idiots deserve.
Hey Pete,
Check out http://www.withleather.com for more on the writers brawl. Could a call from Vince McMahon be far off?
pete- i cant belive you put your frequent readers and intelligent people in the same sentence… as you displayed, with your “pack of drunks” line, your humor leaves much to be desired.
That is hilarious. First of all we should jump then second the story is next to the hottest 25 bartenders and lastly… they are writing an article.. about how stupid your article is. HM
