re: Barstool drops Mintzy for accidentally saying the N word on air

And I mean, if you "accidentally" say it on the air then you probably say it all the time off the air.

Maybe, but I don't necessarily think this is one of those cases.

Mintz was legit just reading straight off a paper in the moment. It was a Ron Burgundy "Go frick yourself, San Diego" teleprompter style mistake.

It’s a terrible
Word to use under any situation. It’s vulgar and berating.

He had just signed a new contract for three years

All the “barstool is woke” and “Dave’s a sell out” stuff aside, we need to be honest about what mintzy is.

The guy had literally the easiest/coolest job in the world and all he had to do to keep it was produce his same low effort content and he could barely even do that. It’s clear that he’s a lazy dude. It took the entire company and hordes of people on the internet making fun of him openly for not doing anything before he FINALLY created his own original content, that wasn’t 30 second clips of him at games or concerts, with wake up mintzy. Then that show proceeds to last a month where he’s caught hot mic’d saying he can’t get up that early, pre records a show, flashes a reflection in his phone of DraftKings and drops an N bomb on another. The guy is hilariously dumb and that was a fitting end to the experiment.

All he wanted to do was go to games, concerts, and festivals. I don’t blame him, we all do the same, except we go back to work on Monday. Welcome back to the real world mintzy

10000000%

Well in Mintzy’s defense, he is extremely stupid so comparing him to a normal person isn’t apples to apples

Also wouldn’t be shocked if mintzy thinks the people outraged over his firing is more about him and not the absurdity of getting fired over it. He probably thinks he can ride this momentum into starting his own media co.

I guess they’ll double down with RB&R Devin Snow now - hoping he gets picked up by Barstool and they can grab his coat tails.

Pretty sure he wants nothing to do with Barstool and wants to be independent.

I never got that impression. Quite the opposite actually. Why do you think that?

Ben is a nice guy. He's just kind of goofy. His goofiness is what got him where he was. Even after he got to Barstool, he was a regular on Sean Fox's SportsTalk977 afternoon show. Half the time he'd talk about what he'd been doing for the last couple of weeks, and what he had set up for the weekend.

the Mississippi State idiot representing the South is a terrible look for us.

I feel that way about Finebaum, and all of his callers. They reward all of those windbags for bad behavior.

Would have rather had someone like Tony Barnhart with lots of sports journalists guests, and some, once or twice a week, random call ins. Just let it develop.

I'd rather see something like Marty & McGee every afternoon.

He’s from Monroe, of course he’s said it before & likely often

Sounds like you might need this to be true…otherwise you’d just be agreeing a man should be fired for accidentally reading a no-no word off a sheet of paper

It’s insane and anyone saying anything other than it’s insane can frick off
