Why do threads keep popping up? Do people not understand that they have seen this multiple times on tigerdroppings as well as Twitter and other socials.

Is this AI generated or does an actual human being understand the post that they are creating?

Make another thread to ask a question about a topic that hasn’t been discussed the last 48 hours

Not a good look for the nfl when they have a manning on deck and he’s being projected top pick without doing anything yet in college…

Makes more sense for Carr to stay

re: Does Barstool suck?

Posted by longhorn22 on 4/14/25 at 8:05 am
Barstool was peaking to be more "mainstream media" when Erika was running the company...

They were broadening their approach the the sports media market with hosting the Bowl Games, making the deal with Penn, etc.

When Erika stepped away and Penn deal reverted back that's when you could see a shift for sure.

Timing was also in line with the Chicago office opening. All the better NY talent pretty much followed to Chicago and it is moreso like a fantasy factory there. They have gotten a "grip" on what they are doing now in Chicago but still think it could be more.

NY they have that lease so the Barstool NY office isn't going anywhere. Most of NY is used for the people who do the non-content Barstool things.

Can Barstool "grow" anymore? Probably. Do they want to grow? I don't believe. I think everyone associated with Barstool understands where they are at with their lives as well as the company. That is why you see guys like Glenny Balls and Caleb Pressley leave...Bussin' leave... etc.

Great platform, and you can make the most of what you want to be while you are there...

I'll continue to consume, but understand also the purpose behind the content.

Same.


All hotels in the downtown area run a shuttle though.

Worth the extra $20 or so per night at a nicer hotel downtown vs having to Uber or park.

If the camp is a week or so, I’d stay in Chapel Hill or Carrboro. And all of the travel distances I put in my post are actually for Carrboro, so that should give you an idea for 2-4day long trips that are relatively nearby.


Appreciate this.

Yes, Camp is 4 days, so looking to do a little before and after but also have things for others in the family to do while he's at camp. Tough to find something nice on a lake etc. Slightly diff landscape it seems like compared to other areas of NC

FYI Bryce is playing in the State Championships...........



Hijacking the thread a little.

Trying to find a place to stay currently in the Chapel Hill area. Son is going to Basketball Camp in June and would like to fill in some spots with things to do for the family while he's there.

Also any ideas on a place to stay nearby there or even within an hour...

:cheers:

he belongs in that area.

That's the style/area that formed him
UNC will never be in a "Play in" game.

Bluebloods either take the year off or they are in.

No in-between.

Well Will Wade will likely be heading to NC State soo.......
MJ wouldn't be the same player in todays era.

He would have to work on his 3 game correct? so you could see that % and him become a better shooter likely.

But then that takes away from other areas of his game.

Crazy though.

Different defensive styles. More media. Can he do some of the things he did in the 80s and 90s and get away with it? Is it more scandal? Does the full story come out about his dad being murdered because of his gambling debt? Lots and lots of changes and effects different eras.
Yep.

Shaw is legit.

would love to see what Pistol could have done in different eras. :pimp:
6-0

4-0

2 of the greatest coaches ever in their sport.

Pretty simple to understand.

Although Joe left the 49ers, went 13-3 and lost in an AFC Chip? meanwhile Jordan left Chicago and did mmm.... Kwameeee???

Can we add in that clip off MJ at the top of the key getting the Ben Simmons treatment then not even coming close to the goal? :lol:

This discussion is going nowhere as it just continues to show the evolution of the game and how you cannot compare eras.

Pull up some clips from the 70s pre 3 point line. Same for the 60s.

Just also continues to show the reasoning how anyone pre 2000 would struggle against role players in 2025.

Skill level is higher and players are more efficient.
