Hey there,

Hey Asshole,
You may want to redo your list so you don’t embarass yourself.
Sincerely,
largest independently owned sports blog on the planet….

Guess this is what it’s like to work for a loose cannon huh? Just firing shots all over the internet- media agencies, research consultants, PR and ad agencies. Soon it’s just going to be Barstool Sports against the world. People backing into their homes and shielding their children when we walk by. Who’s that daddy? Oh that’s just Barstool Sports honey. They didn’t take disrespect from anybody. And now they walk alone.
I mean what was the point of this email exactly? To make me feel bad about myself? Hey thanks Leah. Mission accomplished. Don’t get me wrong I don’t really expect some research group intern bitch idiot to recognize true greatness like KFC and me. But do you have to rub our face in it? Just wanted to give us a heads up who the best bloggers are? Cuts deep Leah. Real deep. Shit is real life here. KFC’s life. My life.
PS- Soccer By Ives? Really?
You published her email address. Not that I didn’t have it a minute ago but still, she’s going to wake up to a horror show tomorrow.
Did 610 get canned or injured again?
Soccer by Ives is a solid soccer blog, sorry but people like the sport whether you like it or not
T, he had a doctor’s appointment today to find out that his vagina was swollen.
I mean none of us want to hear about fucking American Idol yet Dave keeps shoving that down our throats!
Rico nobody likes soccer.
Where’s the list of Top 25 comment sections???
We’re a shoe in for at least top 5.
Dude, when you have turtles mutilating rat’s, 19 year old smoke shows and Guess That Ass everyday, I’m assuming most ‘Sports” Blog sites don’t consider Barstool in the same category.
Now me, I think Barstool is the greatest thing aside from “I am a Motherfucker”.

NorCal,
you mean like when Deadspin posts their “great moments in hookup failures”? or when they post “funbag: manwhores and gays”? that’s what #1 on the list means? yeah you’re right
“sorry but people like the sport whether you like it or not”
Pussies that can’t play real football like this sport. It starts with your parents. Mommy and Daddy dont want little jimmy getting hurt so they sign him up for soccer and ballet lessons thus becoming a pussy in real life. I’m sure Ives will love to hear he has one fan that reads his blog.
Kmarko do you like Magary?
People still read Simmons?
Simmons will have blood spurt out of his eyes when he hears he’s considered a “blogger”.
610 got fired? I don’t think were so lucky
Maybe when Portnoy learns how not to start every other sentence with the word “like” he’ll make the list with the other members who actually aren’t illiterate.
When its fucking 30 degrees for 8 months of the year, soccer is kind of hard to play back east. Out here, we bash Lacross players like you all bash soccer players. Besides, there is only one real sport. It the pissing match between Boston & NY to see how much they can “Pay” to win the world series.
Go A’s!
haha I know I am such a pussy I play soccer, I am a big fairy blah blah blah blah
Not even worth arguing about it, might as well debate politics.
people taking things seriously are awesome.
I know I should let this go but I can’t help my self trying to win an argument on a site like this is like a cripple fight, but whatever.
Mr.C my brother went to a different high school than me and played football. I would have played but my high school didn’t have the sport until I was a junior. By that time I was pretty good at ballet with a ball, and liked it more that I wasn’t going to change.
And after hearing about all these issues with football players and their injuries I am pretty happy with the sport I chose. Sorry some soccer fag probably banged your girlfriend which explains why you get so angry at people who play the sport. I guess you take the saying don’t hate the player hate the game really seriously.
Hmm, last fall sports guy did real well in the comments section…
therealrico……
shut the fuck up…really; funny blog then i read your comments about soccer?
smokeshow helped finish the day strong!!!
List was a joke. ESPN, Fox, Rany????? WTF. In the day, Brooks was funny and had great looking women (Hi Denise!) but he completely lost the formula a year ago or so. I’m with NorCal – go A’s, and move to fucking Fremont!
Rico
i’m glad you decided to respond because its all making sense now. Your school didnt have football till your junior year? Was this before or after you came out of the closet? I’m guessing its after because i’m sure after you bitched and moaned to your parents they eventually gave in and sent thier “special” son to the all boys school. Thanks for the side note on your big bad brother. I’m sure he was an all american if he came from the same DNA as you.
Haha, yep you got it spot on Mr. C. . . I got nothing you described me to a T.
Mr. C… I’m not the biggest fan of the sport, but numbers don’t lie, and damn near half the world watches the World Cup. I know it’s really hilarious to try and come off as the biggest American ass hole as you can, especially when you’re from New York, but you’re annoying, shut up.
Well yes, i am an asshole. But i’m not from New York, from Boston so maybe it makes more sense now why i’m being an asshole. Sure half the world watches the world cup but do we really care what the Europeans are watching.
