    Outing of Berman and Stuart Scott extracurriculars.

    The only difference is that most (not all) didn't violate the Me Too issues.

    The dad stuff was wicked—as in evil—but the thing that really stuck with me about that whole sordid thing was the puddle of piss on the floor. That's one of those "wish I could unsee" moments. I can picture it now. How anyone could traffic in such a thing escapes me, and I am no saint.

    Almost seems like there is a Peter Thiel-like thing going on when suddenly other media outlets are doing stories on Barstool.

    Post #metoo people writing about Barstool were going to get more traction. Add in the fact that the site makes criticisms of it personal, Barstool was going to get ganged up on.

    Surprised we haven't heard that some advertisers are bailing at this point.
