THAT'S ENOUGH INTERNET FOR TODAY- The Butterfly Effect

3 days ago | barstoolsports.com | Michael McCarthy

Every now and again, I catch myself hunched over my phone with the posture of a fucking jumbo shrimp as I am furiously 'doom-scrolling' until I find something so odd that it makes me question the future of this world. Typically, the posts that stop me dead in my tracks are sexual in nature, and sometimes they are not sexual at all. But no matter what they are, they are always weird enough to make me wonder- Why the fuck does this even exist?

FRIDAY CONFESSIONS

2 weeks ago | barstoolsports.com | Michael McCarthy

Dante and I alternate Fridays letting deprived Stoolies get shit off their chests. This blog series is simply for confessions (and clicks). I'll go first…I'm only 53, but I click "Senior" whenever I buy movie tickets for the slight discount (Seniors are typically 65 or older). It's not even a money thing… It just makes me feel alive. The comments are open if you need to get anything off your chest.
The Kids Are Alright

2 weeks ago | barstoolsports.com | Michael McCarthy

One of the most notable changes that social media has brought about since its inception is the alteration of the word "friend."When I was 5, I had 10 friends. When I was 15, I accumulated maybe 30 or 40 more. In college, and then after entering the business world, that number grew into the hundreds, but was still manageable. Then Facebook happened… And that number grew into the thousands. Then Twitter, Instagram, and TikTok happened… And that number grew even further… Kinda.
"HOORAY FOR SLIGHTLY ABOVE-AVERAGE STUDENTS!!!"

3 weeks ago | barstoolsports.com | Michael McCarthy

I came across this little "feel-good" headline, and it made me feel not-so-good. Before I start, can you guess what my problem is here? I'll give you a hint... America is fucking DOOMED. And now I'll give you the answer in the form of another question... Why the fuck are we celebrating B students? Honestly, do you think whatever-the-fuck the equivalent of Chick-fil-A is in India or Japan is giving away free whatever-the-fuck the equivalent of a Happy Meal is to their B students? I'll answer that...

For The First Time In 25 Years We Have An Undisputed Heavyweight Champ And His Name Is Oleksandr Usyk

May 18, 2024 | barstoolsports.com | Michael McCarthy

Although people will complain about the length of the production, I don’t think you can complain about the quality of this afternoon’s DAZN card. We saw knockouts and upsets all the way up to a Main Event that went back and forth before Oleksandr Usyk established himself as the better man in the ring and arguably the best pound-for-pound fighter alive.
I got a tattoo to impress Canelo, and I am not sure it worked.

May 2, 2024 | barstoolsports.com | Michael McCarthy

Marking your body for life used to be a big deal, and was something that was reserved for soldiers, bikers, inmates, and whores. Nowadays, I see more "Live Laugh Love" tattoos inked into more swollen ankles at grammar school pickup than you see on the wall at your local Home Goods. Still, I thought flying out to Lake Tahoe and getting Canelo Alvarez's signature "CA" carved into my shoulder would take our relationship to the next level.
