For a LONG TIME (1 year) I’ve considered myself the least respected person at Barstool Sports. Honestly, I’m not even mad about that. I know my place. To be fair, I haven’t really done anything to command any sort of respect from my co-workers. A few decent blogs here and there. I produce a Rundown that almost never gets my co-workers banned from their recurring spot on Fox News. But nothing to really cement my place at the company....

For background purposes, it’s important to know that the Christmas holiday used to be downright miserable. Unless you were in the 1%. Rowdy celebrations were one result. An antiauthoritarian strain ran through these winter rituals. At this time the wealthy were expected to provide food and drink for common folk. The ritualized disorder provided a kind of annual safety valve against smoldering class resentments and grievances. This play would mark the first literary appearance of the prototype of Santa Claus, called Father Christmas....

Welcome to the Dumping Them Out: Christmas Spectacular. Yesterday I broke my year long streak of posting a Dumping Them Out every Sunday. Anyways, this Dumping The Out: Christmas Spectacular will be Christmas themed. At least the words will be. So the GIFs will just be regular, non-festive hot women. I’m going to go back through my extensive Hot Girl GIFs rolodex and pick the best GIFs. Apologies to any girls reading this who didn’t make the cut....

The Feast Of The Seven Fishes is upon us. Before Italy’s unification in 1861, the territory consisted of various independently governed regions. Over time, the tradition became more elaborate and distinctively recognized within the Italian-American community. Frying seafood, and simply having the volume of seafood indoors gets in the walls I swear. I blogged about it last summer). However, the number of fish dishes can vary, and not all families adhere strictly to seven....

For some out there, the NBA season doesn’t truly start until Christmas. They need to let around 30 games be played before they decide to watch or even give a shit. Insane behavior in my opinion, but that’s what a lot of casual NBA fans say/do. Personally I think they’re missing some awesome basketball, but to each their own. The good news is, we’re here. Christmas is tomorrow which means one of the best days of the year is upon us....

In 2023 the 21-5 Celtics got their asses handed to them by Steph Curry on the road in GS. It wasn’t out the realm of possibility that this could have been another disaster slide. Especially when we learned Tatum was sitting against the Kings and Porzingis was sitting against the Clippers. Instead, let’s focus on what the hell we just saw. I considered last night the swing game of the trip....

And one big lesson weve learned is that different employees have different needs and priorities.

Go ahead, tell me that wasn’t the most Boston Celtics shit you’ve ever seen. Be without your best player in Jayson Tatum and 6th man Al Horford? OK, no problem. And let’s be honest, this was a big win for the mental health of everyone. Starting things out 0-2 would have been a bit of a disaster. Things feel much better. It’s a long ass season. At the start of the trip, I think most rational people considered 2-2 or better a win....

But this isn’t me trying to convince you to watch college basketball. This is me writing about the Big East because it’s fucking awesome. There’s something that just works with the Big East - from the original version to this version....
