I never understood why it was such a big deal to maintain his anonymity.
Great article from yesterday on PFT and his anonymity

What did I just read
Also, had no idea he was married like 7 years ago. Wonder if he still is?

Deadspin being extremely jealous, petty, and salty with that article. Bunch of losers.

If you didn't think deadspin was tone deaf before, holy shite....this is not going to go well for them. Most people will read that bullshite and shake their heads. This is why they are failing.

That’s the difference though. Eric/PFT seems like a genuinely good guy. And he’s not gonna stoop to deadspins level.
Just like the majority of us. Just because you work somewhere doesn't mean you have to endorse all of what your employe says and does.

Barstool is douchey but Deadspin is on an entirely different level of douchey.

ETA: like the article mentioned, it wasn't hard to find out, but PFT would rather fans make that choice for themselves than be outed by another publication.
I haven’t read much of deadspin since I grew tired of them beating the t’eo story to death. Not that I had any objection to that story but after awhile they made it out to be a lot bigger than it was.
Gawker and deadspin have a long history of putting things out there that celebrities don’t want people to know they are gay or leaking an illegal filmed sex tape
Listening to a book right now on the hulk hogan case that brought gawker down. They have always been lazy hipsters with an axe to grind.

I’d agree with that. I think he’s happy being left alone to do whatever he wants with PMT. I doubt he’s hurting for money and probably found a perfect situation doing what he loves.
And I bet a ton of people in that office hate dave. But even Barstool fans love to hate dave.

Didn't Hogan frick his friend's wife and it was recorded?

used to be a pretty funny site, then it seemed to mostly hire pissed off progressive 20 somethings.
tough for them to pretend to take the high road vs. barstool when they have a pretty shitty past themselves
Barstool does seem less sports lately and more "hey here's a random story I pulled from the internet along with a few paragraphs about it" I don't know how much they pay some of those bloggers but its probably too much.

There are videos of him on youtube before the PFT stuff. Back when he was in college. Just seems like a regular dude, that witty friend that we all have or think we are.
The marriage thing was surprising at first but I really have never cared. I thought the "secret" was the running joke. He wears glasses. They don't make him invisible

Hogan found out his wife was leaving him, confined in his best friend and his wife. There had been a long standing offer to bone the guys wife. Hogan proceed to finally do it and it was filmed without his knowledge. He continued to do this for a few months. Was on there dropping a few hard n-bombs, drinking and taking painkillers. Generally a dark time as his son was falling apart too.
His friend filmed it all and eventually it got out.
Gawker, even after several court orders, refused to take it down.
It caught Peter Theil’s attention as he hated Gawker for outing him and he secretly funded the Hogan’s case. It’s pretty good book, that is the rough spark notes. I followed the case back in the day and still enjoyed the book.

While it's shitty for them to dox him. A number of ppl knew who PFT was before this article. PFT definitely took the high road in this situation when he asked the Barstool guys not to harass Wagner over this article and he specifically asked Dave not to.
The issue here is that, if you read Wagner's article, she doxxed him because he won't bash barstool for, as she calls it, their racist blah blah blah ist, stuff. So basically, she wanted to continue her ax grinding and drug a more popular personality enjoying favorable press into it.

I like Pres, Big Cat, PFT and Donnie. Rone and Chaps are ok, and I think KFC is a talented douche. The rest are just there and I don't pay attention to them.
Honestly if it wasn't for Pizza Reviews and Pardon My Take I wouldn't follow barstool. That and for some reason I can't turn away from that fatass doing the burger and beer reviews

I can't wait for Deadspin to die

One thing I will say is that Eric/PFT is the superstar of Barstool and the rest of the guys, especially Portnoy, bring down his value.
If PFT, Big Cat, Chaps, and Francis were to leave Barstool, there would be no reason for me to pay attention anymore. They're the only ones whose content I like to follow nowadays.
ETA: And Donnie. Donnie is the man.

One thing I like about PFT & Big Cat is that they keep their personal life separate from barstool (KFC probably should have followed that advice).
