Stop giving me the finger. I am not your boss, just some guy who has to catch the same bus on Thursday. 

Behind Mike Glennon at the movie theater?

He did win Overly Defensive Player of the Year, though.

OH SHIT, GET HIM!

Passion of the Christ 2 looks fuckin’ lit.

Also the correct amount of sugar in cornbread is zero according to the Southern cooks I grew up around.

Hi, I’m Barry Petchesky.  I think other people should be held accountable for the things they say, but i was just a kid, so I get a pass.   

You got caught partner - now go stand on the sideline with all the other hypocrites. After everyone on both sides are inevitably disqualified, you can start a new game of Dogmatic Dodgeball.

So Barry here is why this is problematic: you wrote these things 12 years ago. You just spent 4000 words fauning all over yourself taking about ‘how much you’ve grown up’ since this went down. You made a topical reference to Kavanough to throw the stink off yourself, and called it an article.

And yet here you are now, still including in the greys those that don’t agree with you. I get keeping absolute shitheels there, but across all sites there are those who seem to be only stuck there because they disagree with something. 

The elevation of Hurt Feelings as the most dangerous scourge of society has been a strange one. 

Way to throw Will Leitch under the bus! Didn’t he hire you? Also, a pathetic, groveling apology doesn’t excuse rank hypocrisy. You had plenty of opportunities when you were criticizing Barstool to mention that you used to be a shithead too but you never got off your high horse until you were forced to when confronted…

Barry, I’m pretty sure you’re still an obtuse, dumb AF, none-too-funny shithead. Being 22 doesn’t excuse that, and while you certainly wouldn’t write or say such things now, I’m pretty sure that the soil that grew such sentiments is still within you 

The idea that Deadspin specifically, and the former Gawker empire generally, isn’t still premised on casual cruelty is ludicrous on its face. The targets may have changed, but the mean spirit and bad faith remain the same.

Someday I hope that actual, physical rapists will be faced with the same public disdain and contempt as those who make the rape jokes.

I only read Deadspin for the punting articles.

Deadspin: “We Are Barely More Mature Than Barstool, And I Want My Jezebel Coworkers To Remember That”

Just curious, Barry — do you think your past comments should prevent you from being a federal judge or a Supreme Court justice? 

You could do a lot more to end this Twitter-mob cycle by going the other way with this. Why not admit that juvenile jokes, posted in the comment section of a dying blog, actually aren’t that big of a deal? That some words posted on the internet actually, maybe, don’t have as much of an impact as you make them out to…

Yeah, we were all idiots online in 2006. But honestly, the Barstool/Deadspin back and forth has been one of the most pathetic beefs of all time. Both sides have truly embarrassed themselves. I hope you both shut the fuck up.
