I've discovered that I like it when Lou goes,

"April 13, 2007. What was the best thing about that day?"

and then just sits there waiting for an answer. Instead of the natural, "I don't know, Lou." from Pat, he tries to answer it each time, with something like, "A meteor missed striking Earth by only a few thousand miles."

Lou replies, "That's number 3." and then goes on with his story.

Scott Rintool just had Rick Ball on the show. Kept calling him "Baller". Love the nickname, simply awesome.

Isn't Pat the one who takes a 5 second delay before answering any guests... As if he's looking at p*rn or something while kinda listening.

As the son of an engineer, I endorse this post.

I like Sarich but he's obviously not a fan of Gaudreau. Also I think Sarich does not like offensive hockey at all.

He is. I change the radio every time I hear his voice. It’s just dumb lazy predictable analysis that anyone could provide.

Pat is great and getting better. I think he must actually listen to the suggestions made by Rogers broadcast analysis consultants.

He no longer says “Dooooin Vary Waelll!!”

Pat is genuinely interested and curious about what he doesn’t know, and seems like a life long learner. It may piss me off that he’s a fence sitter at times but I appreciate his work.

Pinder acts like “he knows” when he fails at the task of making popcorn. He is able to act this way because he is intelligent enough to have informed nuanced takes.

Will is neither of these.

He tries to act like Pinder but either isn’t as intelligent, doesn’t do the work, or is too focus on fantasy football to really care if he comes off as a lazy hack.

He needs to stay as a producer and no longer talk on air.

I actually do really like him, it's a real testament to how good he is that people initially tolerated his voice to now where his voice is like part of his uniqueness. But that voice is definitely not meant for radio in the traditional sense lol. It's like listening to Marge Simpson's long lost brother ha ha.

Portnoy’s response isn’t really a denial of Miller’s criticism, is it? It’s basically:

A. The giant parent company of Miller’s employer, NBC, had sexual harassment allegations.

B. Portnoy worked hard to make Barstool “what it is”.

A. was not Portnoy’s comment. But he had lots of other comments denying Miler’s claims and wanting to discuss with him directly.

Not much of a burn, just laughing off Millers silly comments

The inclusion in the article about how Barstool is helping small businesses is weird. While admirable that's not what the article is about, and therefore has a bit of a stench of "Yeah Barstool may be sexist but look at all this other wonderful stuff they are doing!"
