In Barstool& #39;s world I& #39;m nobody. Always stay out of their mud. I& #39;ve done my small part with the site though for a decade now & been a fan for longer. I mixed it up in the comments when it was just Pres. I competed with (and lost to) KFC & Kmarko when NY was launched.
I was here before Big Cat came in and flipped the blog game on its head. I& #39;ve watched an improbable growth to media juggernaut led by a core of hilarious, talented idiots. And I don& #39;t mean "idiots" as an insult, but how could they have been anything but?
Everyone started young & dumb with zero idea what they were capable of, how much a reach they& #39;d have or how much they & the world they live in would change. Whether you like it or not lines were different then. They were irreverent, cavalier and shot from the hip relentlessly.
They& #39;ve all hit, missed, & have things they& #39;ve done that I& #39;d guess make them cringe - just like every other human being. Matter of fact, it& #39;s gonna happen again - just like every other human being. Whether you& #39;re fan or foe we& #39;ve all got a past of fucking up somehow.
That doesn& #39;t excuse ignorant behavior, but learning from it is being human. Everyone trying to "catch" them is just as "guilty" by their own definitions. Call them unfunny. Stupid. Assholes. That& #39;s fine - but malicious? Divisive? Genuinely hateful? Nah. That& #39;s just not true.
No idea what compelled me to type a Twitter novel & I& #39;m certainly not here to argue or change anyone& #39;s mind. I guess if nothing else, I just wanted to show support for something I& #39;ve been proud to ride the coattails of for so long.

Viva.
