Brandon Walker has joined Barstool

[17thebears]

What a crazy 24 hours.

 

[SyonaraStanz]

I didn't know they had a mascot, much less an Ogre at that.**

Looking forward to his fight with Yancy at Rough N' Rowdy 9

I need a replay of the interview. Don’t have xm

 

[17thebears]

You can listen for free online. Go to SiriusXM and search for Channel 85. You can rewind to find the interview.

What happened?

 

[17thebears]

Cliffs:

-MyBookie called Portnoy/El Pres a "fraud gambler"
-Portnoy/El Pres said he was going to put MyBookie in a body bag
-BW, having no clue the feud was going on, started his Periscope for MyBookie, and it was taken over by Barstool fans
-BW rolled with the punches and killed it
-Portnoy/El Pres and BW started DM'n today, and BW jumped on Barstool Radio this afternoon, Portnoy hired him on the spot.
-BW has his first Periscope with Barstool at 5:00 CST.

Who would’ve thought the best things to happen to BW would be him getting in a fight with the state of Iowa and Barstool. Lol. Props to you, Brandon and congrats on the success

 

[civildawg88]

I really like pardon my take but some of barstools other stuff is way too tried hard. Will be listening to Brandon though

 

[Grove Sh*tter]

Thanks
That's a good story. Great for BW.

I know Uncle Chaps is a State fan because his wife went here

 

[TrueMaroonGrind]

I guess I have to download periscope now. Too good not to follow.

 

[aTotal360]

Ho.Lee. Sheet. Congrats, BW!!!

 

[aTotal360]

I agree with you. The good news is they have a solid platform. Brandon will hopefully have good resources to grow.

I am admittedly old and out of touch, but what the hell is barstool anyway?

I see it on the twitter and such, but I never know what/who they are.

Somebody please splain it to me...

 

[RocketDawg]

And while you're at it, explain what "periscope" means.

 

[BigMotherTucker]

**** moves so fast I honestly can't keep up with it either. How do all these people know to join these platforms? And how do they take off do fast? I'm a 42yo technoliterate (not illiterate), but ****, I can't keep up with it.

 

[Choctaw Dawg]

They're a group of sports bloggers that come off slightly obnoxious but have a huge following. They are THE sports bloggers if I may add. They're big on gambling and is why they pulled Brandon onto their group.

 

[BigMotherTucker]

Is this on the iTunes?

 

[TrueMaroonGrind]

And while you're at it, explain what "periscope" means.

Barstool is a digital media outlet that is centered loosely around sports. They get most of their views off fights, girls, drunk people and a combination of all three.

Periscope is an app where you can stream video of yourself to the world and anybody else with the app can watch you and comment on your stream.

 

[mcdawg22]

Will he give back the $6,000 he begged for?

 

[Junction John]

Okay, I guess that makes sense... I just don't know the difference

between them and formats like

FS1
Yahoo Sports
Saturday Down South
SEC Country
247
and others

Don't they all have bloggers and shows loosely based around sports?

It really doesn't matter, I will continue to find and watch BW, and glad he's on a legit network. I just can't keep up with which are cool on twitter today and which are out of favor.

Barstool is like SBNation, only completely raunchy.
I was only marginally aware of barstool until last year, when they announced ESPN was giving them a show. It was one of those things that got canceled before it got started because of outrage. Sam Ponder spoke out against them because of some crap they published about her. I'm not sure what went on behind the scenes or what the official rationale was, but the show was canceled.

Side note, today's BW barstool show was the most I've ever heard him swear by far, and it wasn't the kiddie cusses. Breaking out the MFs. Almost like his marching orders were to really make it as crude as possible.

I wish him well, but based on the comments he was getting in that video, it seems like the typical barstool follower is a large sheeplike douchebag.

 

[dorndawg]

They seem like a good match for each other, and that's from someone who doesn't care for either. Good on him for what seems like a big promotion.

[FlotownDawg]

Barstool is basically for wannabe frat boy douchebags who never grew up. Not really my cup of tea.

 

[DogStuckAtUM.sixpack]

I loathe Barstool/Clay Travis/the rest of that ilk, but I'm happy for Brandon. Hopefully his picks hit, and he keeps up his viewership. I know how hard he's hustled after SEC Country folded.

 

[seshomoru]

They said the following about Ponder...

“I know for a fact that every day at ESPN, all the suits and all the lawyers, they have their annual – not annual, daily – their daily 9:15 coffee meeting on how can we fire Sam Ponder without being sued for like discrimination. Because she is the worst. No person watching GameDay wants to see a picture of her and her ugly kid. Nobody cares Sam Ponder. We want to see you sex it up and be slutty and not see some prude [expletive] jerk who everybody hates and who’s married to the worst quarterback who wears the ring and “God first” and this and that. Shut up. That’s not what you’re there for. And ESPN just can’t find out how to fire you. Because they hate you. Because everyone who watches you hates you. Because all you do is talk about your little rat kid that nobody wants to hear about.”

I'd be kinda pissed if my company hired somebody that said that about me.
