The Overdue Murder of Dick Ritchie

Why Michael Rapaport Was Fired from Barstool

Like ya’ll, I think Portnoy is an infallible genius. But did he have to murder Michael Rapaport, aka Dick Ritchie?

 

I have no idea what any of this is about, but it's "y'all", not "ya'll".

 

Are you offended by the firing?

 

Rapaport is a goofball. Guy is always arguing with someone. His radio spots on a fantasy show he was (maybe still is) on were like listening to an angry 12-year-old.

 

He'd fit right in on the Politics thread.

 

Thanks, Safire. Btw, it’s a journalism story about the quickest growing brand in sports media. The more you know.

 

Why should anyone be offended? He called Barstool fans losers — while being an employee of Barstool. I think y’all can agree: shitcanning him was a no-brainer.

 

I've heard of Portnoy exactly twice now, so I hope I'm set for life. That guy seems like a steaming turd, too.

 

He's on Twitter?

 

Everyone in this situation is awful. But go look at how much hell Rapaport has received since the weekend and you see why Barstool is so profitable. It's also why there's a really good chance it's going to be around for a very, very long time.
