Please imagine number 56 is number 58. Thank you so much.

DON’T HURT’EM CARL!!! I have to admit that when I saw that first tweet, I laughed. No matter how random a Twitter account is, the fact that Barstool has gotten to the size that people are referencing it as a reason a team doesn’t want to re-sign a player is absolutely mind bottling to me. I know that referencing Barstool moves the needle on social media and all that shit. However as a longtime Stoolie, this stuff will forever be crazy to me. I guess that’s the beauty of Twitter though. Everybody can appear to be an “insider” if you pick the right handle, throw a professional looking avi up, and acquire a few followers.

But to then have Carl Banks swoop in, Twitter murder this guy, and give Barstool a free plug was a beautiful thing to witness. The “sources” of this random ass Twitter handle acting like Justin Pugh has been living at Barstool HQ since we moved to New York or missed a game because he had to film an episode of Boozin’ Burgers while Glenny was forced to gag down an IPA is laugh out loud funny. Sure Pugh has played wherever the Giants have asked, battled through injuries, and been the best offensive lineman the Giants have had for years. But he likes a funny site that is about to take over the goddamn moon. Red Flag City!!!

Forget about NFL teams asking if your mom is a hooker or if you like men. Now GMs are going to ask questions like “What are Saturdays for?” and “Finish this sentence: One bite, everybody ______________” in their combine interviews. If you get the answer right or have the Barstool app on your phone, you are off their draft board entirely. Shit, Outside The Lines is probably gearing up an entire show titled “Does The NFL Have A Barstool Problem?” as we speak. So thank you Chad Forbes for bringing to light that this “Voice”, whatever the fuck that means, in the Giants building sees Pugh’s love of Barstool as a real issue. I’ll personally stick with the former Giants player and current real life radio voice of the Giants on this matter.

As for the real problem with the Giants offensive line, Andrew Norwell going to Chaps’ beloved Jagwires instead of to the Giants was a real kick in the dick.
