In Case You Missed It: August 15-19
On any given day, there could beat least 75 new posts up on this goddamn website. Now granted, there are always some re-blogs and at least 20 wake ups/GTA’s/Smokeshow posts, but there’s still a shit ton that goes on every day. Between all those posts and listening to all the podcasts and trying to actually do a little bit of real work throughout your week, it’s easy to see how you would miss some things here and there. So that’s where In Case You Missed It comes in. A quick week in review on Friday afternoons highlighting the major stories from Monday-Friday for those of you who aren’t able to sit there and read every single post (or just wait for the second something is posted so you can be the first to comment about how shitty the blogger is).
Monday August 15: Obviously this week started off a little contentiously with #CommentGate. Here’s the blog addressing that situation.
I honestly don’t understand why so many people got upset with Bob Costas saying that Usain Bolt is bigger in Jamaica than Bob Marley. How many Olympic gold medals did Bob Marley win for Jamaica? I’ll hang up and listen.
Japanese Pole Vaulter was eliminated from competition after his dick knocked the bar down. Pretty shocking news since Asians aren’t necessarily known for having massive hogs. Still no word on whether or not his dick is pixelated.
Anchovies are fucking gross. Plain and simple. Especially on salads. Now obviously this opinion is coming from a dirtbag from Philly. But still. If you actually feel the need to defend anchovies, you’re trying too hard.
Tuesday August 16
It’s been a while since football fans from Dallas and football fans from LA got to get together. So naturally, the first reunion they’ve had in 20 years ended up with a preseason brawl in the stands.
Rudy Giuliani saying there were no successful radical Islamic attacks in the US before Obama is a bigger lie than Pres claiming to be 5’10”. Only way to Spin Zone this would be to maybe claim Alzheimer’s and say you’ve just completely forgotten about 2001? Play up the victim role here.
Our boy Big Daddy Trent went out and demolished the 100-yard dash. For America. Just imagine all the #content that will come out of him competing at Tokyo in 2020.
Flakka seems like a fun drug. If you’re into murdering people and eating their faces.
Chase Utley made his first appearance in Philly after being dealt to the Dodgers. No chance could anything happen at this game that could start any sort of internal Barstool blogger beef. No chance.
Wednesday August 17: Blog Wars
The Smitty vs Nate saga will go down as one of the more bizarre moments in Barstool history. The entire summary of how internet jokes about baseball can lead to tagging the CEO to call out another employee can be found here and here.
Gawker was finally given the final death blow as Univision bought Gawker Media and has decided to no longer operate Gawker.com. RIP in Peace.
Brazil looked like they were trying to start a war this week after pulling two of the US swimmers who were with Ryan Lochte during their “robbery” of their plane back to the United States and forcing them to stay in Rio. First those dick heads tried to say they invented flying during the opening ceremonies. Then they chant Zika at Hope Solo. Then they beat Kerri Walsh Jennings in beach volleyball for the first time in her Olympic career. Then they go ahead and pull a stunt like this? I think that Obama’s last move in office should be to let loose on those nuclear codes and show Brazil who runs the world.
P.S. – Chief won Twitter on the night of August 17
Thursday August 18
Turns out shot put is the most aggressive sport the Olympics have to offer. We’ll run the video back one more time because it’s art.
Darren Sharper, one of the hardest hitting safeties in da league, was sentenced to 18 years in prison for being a scumbag.
Surveillance footage of Ryan Lochte & Co. from the gas station in Rio was released. It was underwhelming to say the least. You want to know what wasn’t underwhelming? KFC’s “Jeahrial” podcast on Mailtime. A must-listen.
Friday August 19: That is today.
Barstool Retreat 2016: Diving for Pearl Earrings. Little Bro Sweet action on a casual Wednesday. Barstool’s Gold Medal Synchronized Swimming performance.
Smoke Of The Week: Bailey from VT. #TeamNoseRing
