No Barstool writer has ever said or written one thing out of hate or anger. It's always to get a joke.Collection: Anger
This is exactly why Barstool Sports has to exist. We're one of the few places - maybe the only place - on the Internet where we don't let agendas dictate what we do.Collection: Sports
The fact that Manti Te'o thought for a long time that he was dating, like, a fake girl and then that she died and did the tribute and the girl never existed. I mean inherently that's funny.Collection: Dating
The people at Barstool Sports are a bunch of average Joes, who like most guys love sports, gambling, golfing and chasing short skirts.Collection: Sports
I don't know how anyone lives in Miami. Because no one goes to sleep.
I want to make a boatload of money and i want to poof and maybe make it on the senior tour, live on islands, get a bigger Nantucket house.
I really don't turn the other cheek. So when I feel like I'm being attacked, I don't back down.
I always wanted to find something that I could wake up and not hate doing. Hating your job was probably my nightmare scenario.
We have this fanatical fan base that wants to see us succeed, and so they get it. They get that to get the free content and all of the things we're doing - whether it be the blog, the podcasts, whatever - we need money. We need advertising. If you want us to go hire Michael Rapaport, well guess what, we need revenue to do that.
We're a comedy site and have made fun of every single race, religion, creed and gender. We've made fun of it equally.
Our readers get what we do, and I don't think about what it's going to look like to the outside world. I don't really care.
You'd never believe how hard it is to find a wetsuit in Boston.
The first time I used 'Viva La Stool,' I was just bragging about something. People grabbed it, and it went viral organically.
It's like, if you sign a guy you know is a punk and a jerk, you can't complain like, 'Hey, the punk jerk is acting like a punk jerk!'
If you're ordering chain, you're a person with poor taste. Everyone lives near a pizza place that's better than a chain. They can't stand up to a local pizzeria.
I love Boston, but it's a smaller city for the personalities and video and the other stuff we want to incorporate.
I'd say we represent the silent majority.
Some girls are just cut out to be housewives, drive SUVs and sing in the shower as opposed to being superstars.
I think I'm a fairly smart person.
Do I like Manhattan? No. Do I want to be in Manhattan? No.
I make the decisions nobody else has the stomach to make.
I call it as I see it.
I'm bigger than the Beatles!
I figured I should have a website, because that's what everybody was doing.
There's so much PC police. There's so much, 'You can't do this, you can't do that.' We're the exact opposite.
I'd go toe-to-toe with anybody in the Boston media over our group, 18-35 year-old guys.
We don't back down from controversy - we fan the fires. People think we go out of our way to create it, but we don't.
There are almost no other websites that have the type of readership we do.
When have I ever said I don't want to sell out? I've been the most honest, 'I'm going to sell out right in your face' when I get the chance.
I'm never going to be on ESPN, probably. I've burned too many bridges. That's fine.
I go on EEI shows. I go on with people I like.
You judge a pizza place on their cheese slice.
Unless you're getting a dollar slice, there's no real money difference between a chain and your local pizzeria.
It was always our belief that if we brought out good stuff our fans will like it and we'll go.
We really want Barstool Sports to be a brand that means something. It doesn't just have to be myself... you see the logo, that bar stool and the stars around it, and you know you're getting a certain type of vibe, a certain type of brand.
If we sell a T-shirt, that probably means we thought it was a huge event that resonated with our crowd.
The easiest thing to say is, 'I'm sorry.' We don't do that.
We're sick of other people saying what other people should laugh at.
We make it very clear, we don't want our fans to say over-the-line things. But if someone is saying, 'I can't wait for Dave Portnoy to go out of business,' I don't care if our fans say, 'You're the worst.'
Everything the NFL touches that maybe we should be involved in... we always get the message the NFL frowns upon working with Barstool Sports.
Everything related to the NFL, we're banned from. Whether it be Media Day, whether it be even doing negotiations for TV shows, everybody's afraid of the NFL in their relation to us because they know they don't like us.
Everybody is saying, 'ESPN is not cool, no one is paying attention to ESPN, they're all paying attention to the Barstools of the world.' Why? Because we're authentic.
We make fun of everybody.
We don't take ourselves very seriously and view working at Barstool Sports as a way to avoid becoming slaves to cubicle life.
People know I'm a Jake Paul guy. I respect people who take over the Internet, and this guy has got maybe more haters than I do, which I also love.
I hate hypocrisy.
It's strange: There are feminists who like Barstool and then feminists who hate Barstool.
All Patriot fans despise Goodell.
We will not bow down to the winds of PC culture whichever way they may blow.
There is always a line that can't be crossed. Anything that is said or written from a place of hate will never be acceptable behavior at Barstool.
