And if you’re a certain age and had cable, the Braves were your second team, same with people who got WGN.
I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that Big Cat talks about “authenticity” all the time…and he knew deep down he was at some level being inauthentic. That said, it’s wildly out of proportion and this is why ppl hate barstool and it’s weird fans. Same for the people who posted pics of PFTs wedding and shit
I feel like lots of people were braves fans because they didn't have a team. They can't have been super popular in Boston.
Kirk gonna find out where the line between awkward joke and sent to Siberia is in the next 24 hours lol.
Is it not fairly regular for people to move to another part of the country and adopt the team? I know lots of people stick with where they’re from, but some people do switch given what teams they can go and see regularly. He made an unnecessary big deal out of it. I suppose what makes it odd is the idea that you switch teams after the 01 Pats and 04 Sox.
I am reading people and contestants saying on the one hand they got voted off because they were due a new contract, but on the other saying other people got through because of their contract. I am more a Survivor fan than Barstool (Surviving has sucked me into some of the background though). In reality it is more like who actually is playing the game and knows what to do. She had a brain fart with the idol but has actually strategised and played a social game. I don’t think a single vote had landed on her, in Survivor terms that is playing a perfect game. I saw Dave say it on Pick Em, he wanted Kirk gone because he had a brain. Klemmer is an annoying dweeb but has a brain and figured out early on that Ria was running things. The other lot were all about Dave and Big Cat when in no normal scenario would they have a chance of winning.
My dad was kind of cardinals fan growing up and is now an Astros fan since he’s lived in Texas 2.5x more than he’s lived in arkansas
Also it’s pretty clear he *loves* Chicago. He basically made 70 people move there because he wanted to live there so badly
Yeah, seems like this is what some here are missing. Giving a 10 minute speech to explain yourself. Having a pizza review edited because they referenced Dan in Newton. All that stuff is weirder than switching teams.
Kirk and his goons are terrible human beings. I cannot believe the fan and contestant reactions to the game of survivor. If $250k was on the line and the show was done multiple times before by your company and there was another version it was based off of, that has run for 25 years, you would expect the new players to check it out and see how it works. The "anger" is because one group thought they were in control, but survivor 101 for the last 25 years has been the stronger you are, the bigger the target. If a quarter million was on the line, I would of done some research on how it works. There are always multiple alliances and at some point the big alliance turns on each other. Dave and Dan got bounced last year for not know how to play the game. This year they played the game. I haven't watched real survivor in like a decade but this has been entertaining, but the fan and player reaction to the gameplay is comical.
I don't consume much barstool at all but have watched this. It's pretty flawed for "survivor" texting each other and coming in with pre-made alliances kind of ruins the whole integrity of the game.
The ten min big cat video of him essentially equating growing up in Massachusetts to an undisclosed felony might be the most cringe moment in barstool history.
Eh this is all dumb. Dumb that he lied but also who really cares. Also dumb that people are attacking his fandom or calling him fake because he said he hurt his ankle and sucked after that. You don’t have to have grown up a fan to take it any less serious or be any more mad when your team loses. Everyone has insecurities about stupid shit. I know I do. If you generally liked him before all of this, this probably won’t change it. If you didn’t like him before this, this probably won’t change it.
This is like Sweet Home Alabama where Melanie Carmichael hides the fact she’s Melanie Smooter and grew up in a trailer.
She was more ashamed about being from metro Mobile than the trailer and that is entirely understandable and a reason for creating a new personality and back story.
The only thing I’ve gathered from this is that I was right about Minihane being a total loser and his hard core fans are just as big of losers. Barstool should fire that guy and let him go back to being a depressed loser.
It’s been pretty bad for a few episodes. Everyone seems miserable, very little strategic gameplay happening (if any), all of the entertaining people are gone
It’s kinda hilarious to think he’s been cheering for the Patriots to some degree the whole time off camera.
