Millionaire activist Bob Murchison isn’t satisfied with driving Kirk Minihane and Gerry Callahn off the air at WEEI. Minihane has brought his defense of free speech to Barstool Sports, and Murchison has apparently followed him there because Barstool lost an advertiser because of this. We found out today that Bombas, which apparently makes socks, decided to cave to Murchison and pull their ads from Barstool’s newest hit podcast, because they’re too cowardly and pussy to stand by the brands they choose to advertise with. Fuck them. Companies that give into these mobs are just as bad as people like Murchison. Literally, all you have to do is just tell Bob Murchison to go fuck himself like Kaplansky Insurance did.
Boom. Problem solved. His emails are meaningless. He has no power. He wasn’t going to buy your socks anyway. He’s not even really offended, he’s just a bored rich guy with a hobby.
Kirk isn’t at WEEI because he pulled a Jimmy McNulty and refused to let the bosses dictate how he does his job. They in turn chose not to have his back, so he ended up at Barstool which built its brand on free speech and edgy content. You’d think they’d have his back in this, but you’d be wrong. Listen to this gutless weasel Dave Portnoy try to explain why he’s not backing his newest employee.

“This Murchison guy, he sounds like a crazy person. I’m not going to war with someone I’ve literally never said a word to.”
What. A. Vag.
This guy just cost your company money by misrepresenting one of your employees to one of your advertisers. He interfered with your business, bent you over, and you pulled a France by surrendering to him without putting up a fight. You have the platform and the ability to completely destroy Bob Murchison’s life, and you chose not to because you are gutless.
Keep in mind, when Murchison was harassing advertisers back in the day he was intentionally misrepresenting an appearance Minihane made with Portnoy on Barstool:
If anything, the only person who said anything remotely offensive was Portnoy. Minihane just commented on it sarcastically with the avocado comment, and a pointed jab referencing Portnoy’s ill-advised decision to put a picture of Tom Brady’s naked kid on his site in 2011. Minihane lost his job largely because of how Murchison took Portnoy’s words and tied them to Minihane. Now Minihane works for Portnoy and Portnoy isn’t backing him up because he’s afraid of ONE FUCKING GUY from Sherborn. It’s madness.
“If you lose us money, you’re probably gonna be gone.”
He’s not losing you money – Bob Murchison is. And your response to that is to do exactly what Murchison wants you to do – stop calling him out.
“Right now, I can’t blame Murchison….”
Why the fuck not? He cost you money. This about sums it up right here.

Minihane and Turtleboy might be the last two vestiges of freedom on the Internet. Listen to me rant about it on tonight’s YouTube Live show.

Yeah Portnoy is an idiot!
Oh wait, he’s a multimillionaire who knows how to play the game.
Nevermind.
I’ve been hearing Bombas ad, checked out their site. I’d like to find some good heavy-duty comfy athletic socks. I’ve crossed them off the list. If an advertiser declines an account based on one nasty snarky letter from some rich pussy, then they’re probably really closet commie lib’s. They want the benefits of capitalism and free enterprise to grow their business and reap the commensurate rewards, but still support the leftist agenda. It makes me even more proud of Ely Kaplansky and his response.
Duluth Trading has great stuff.
Haven’t been on Barstool in over 2 years. Portnoy and his 5 head boss ruined it. Kirk’s sometimes funny but an asshole. Murchison is a terrible father whose shitty mutant genes created a mentally ill child.
Like rooting in a debate between Beta, DeBlasio and YoMama Harris. There are no winners.
Yup – in France they would call Portnoy pussçoise
I had no idea who this guy was until this story. losers like this deserve applause on some level because they’ll keep the sane people in control of government. maura healy parading a confused child around is basically condoning child abuse. that’s scary coming from our state’s highest ranking law enforcement officer.
There is an app for alternative type dating. Bobs, man-daughter is on the app. As much as I would enjoy sharing the information, I just can’t go low as Bob, I would have never brought it up if it wasn’t for this asshole doing this again. Maybe we should do some mailers for his neighbors to know the kind of asshole he is. Anyway, I’m not going to tell you the app, but it would be a shame if people found out and then started contacting her on there.
Portnoy is the biggest hypocrite fraud in sports media and that’s saying a lot, he has done the complete opposite of everything he used to stand for fuck him and barstool gold membership
Look out for those low teasa rates! Then BOOM! Ya rates go up for no reason whatsoever!
Fuck You Bob Murchison – you bug eyed fuck!
C’mon Pres get off your soft Nantucket ass and fight this guy!
I know you are reading this.
Barrtool is owned by Chernin, who gives millions to the illegal alien cock sucking ACLU and is so pro abortion he probably fantasizes about infanticide. Mr Free Speech’s political blogs are all anti Trump screeds that are posted at least three times a day. Before the comment section was eliminated any conservative comments received more than one hundred downvotes from interns and really not so busy bloggers who may write 500 words every two days. This was preceded by eliminating the upvote vs downvote counts . Now there is precisely ONE comment per “blog”, no less, no more because with no comments it would reveal that nobody is paying for this piece of shit.
Leave me alone. I am gonna keep doing what I am doing because Kirk called my mentally ill freak of a kid mentally ill. How dare he do something like that. My kid mentally ill and it is probably due to my bad parenting and my support for the cause but I am tired of listening to it. I know I am a bad person and a horrible parent but I am rich so I always get my way. Please leave me alone. It is enough that I have to deal with my freak show kid and a wife that won’t let me touch her unless it is her using the strap-on on me. If you people keep talking about my freak show of a kid I will find you and ruin you. I have a mental illness. It is not my fault but thank god my mental illness is not as bad as my freak show kid. My kid is a good kid even if it thinks it is something it is not. If any of you people go after my mentally ill freak show if a kid I will use my influence with other pathetic SJW’s like the Boston Globe to ruin you. Stay away from my sad pathetic mentally ill freak show of a kid.
Thanks for the clarification Bob, I’m so happy that your “sad pathetic mentally ill freak show of a kid” will be financially (if not emotionally or mentally) set for life when you FUCK OFF AND DIE!
Stopped reading Barstool when pussy Portnoy shut down the comment section. I’m surprised he even hired Minihane, but he will end up firing him. I hope so. I can’t wait for the Kirk and Callahan podcast.
I hope Kirk has a long term contract. I expect he is going to be paid sitting on the sidelines again.
I don’t listen, I have no interest in podcasts or BSS.
Has Kirk done anything on BSS “Yet” to warrant this?
Has he stepped over the line?
If not, future crime at it’s finest.
I have ordered socks from bombas. But not anymore….
kirk was finally starting to sound happy and its hilarious. portnoy is a little bitch for this one. probably jealous.
So put your money where your mouth is and hire Minihane away from Barstool. For someone so critical of Barstool and how Portnoy turned a nothing website into a $100M company, you should have all the answers on how to replicate his success and then surpass it by being that much smarter, right?
Stop being a jealous bitch and improve your product with talent and make this site better or funnier. Do you even pay your bloggers?
Portnoy is gutless? Go on his show and tell him that…
Actually, they should bring Portnoy on TB Live. We could all listen to him destroy everyone as they talk over each other while having to repeatedly ask “can you hear me” and restart over and over.
I am a fan of both TB and Barstool. Although they are different in terms of content; TB is and always will be the “little brother”. Brett Kiiloran is the poor mans Portnoy and it would be comical listening to Dave shred him.
I agree with Portnoy here. Minihane absolutely expected Barstool to take on this fight for him. He continued to poke that douche expecting Barstool to fight his fight. No different than the kid who looks behind him and sees all his friends and all of a sudden is tough. Right up until those friends say “fight the fight you were looking for”. Based on what I just listened to, i don’t see where Portnoy did anything wrong Dave didn’t censor his work did he? Nope. He just didn’t take on the fight of a “basic” employee because in that arena, that is all Kirk is.
When TB looked to back out of a fight with Failure Swift and Metro (before ACLU— again the “friends” in the background) it was “ok” because it “wasn’t worth it”. But yet Portnoy should take on this battle for a random employee? And the reference to Kirks interview with Portnoy is hardly a reason.
With all that being said, I do hope someone puts Murchinson in his place. His “outrage” for transgenders would be non-existent if he did not fail as a father. I can only imagine what his thoughts were before he realized his kid was transgender and his main goal now is to make it more socially acceptable so he does not look and fell like the failure that he is.
Well said Phil, well said indeed. Who started first, Barstool or TBS?.
Does that asshole Bob Murchison have a facebook page we can visit?
BTW why does every picture of him look like he just sucked a big dick?
“… why does every picture of him look like he just sucked a big dick?”
Bravo, quip of the day!
Don’t have opinions different from your liberal and leftists masters.
Why do all these rabid SJW fucks like Murchison have *that* look? Look at his eyes, that wide-eyed glazed look. OC has it too. Like they’re remotely controlled by someone else, like having a conversation with them would be like having one with my dog; just no there there.
Im not a fan of Minihane, but whats happened to him is clearly wrong.
Don’t you know that your sign is backwards. Turn it around please.
it says “ngiS”…
