About Barstool Sports
By the common man, for the common man
Welcome to the world of Barstool Sports, the only newspaper in Boston written by the common man for the common man. Quite simply, Barstool Sports consists of a bunch of average Joes, who like most guys, love sports, gambling, golfing and chasing short skirts. We spend our NFL Sunday's worrying about our fantasy football teams and our summers worrying about the Sox. Our writers are the type of guys you'll bump into at a sports bar skipping work on the first and second days of March Madness. We are the type of guys who rent a small 3 bedroom house in Newport RI with 14 friends every summer. We are the guys who wait in line for Pats playoffs tickets from midnight until 1pm the next day in sub arctic temperatures and honestly think we deserved a shot at being the Sox GM. In other words, the staff of Barstool Sports consists of a bunch of slobs, who think and care about what the average guy thinks and cares about.
While we realize that there are already tons of free newspapers in Metro Boston, our goal in creating Barstool Sports was to create a paper that appeals to the large group of men like ourselves, who would rather watch SportsCenter than the local news when they get home from work. It is meant to give average Bostonians something to read while either suffering on the Green Line, getting a coffee at Dunkin Donuts or in preparation for making a friendly wager with a buddy on a football game. Barstool Sports will be published once a week and cover an endless range of topics from fantasy football, to local sports teams, to pop culture, to dating ideas in Boston, to great guy vacation spots. Basically, anything that could be a topic of conversation between buddies at local pub is a potential topic for Barstool Sports.
The most important thing for us at Barstool Sports is that our newspaper and website is fun to read and discusses things that are of interest and importance to most men 18-45 years old in this city. We don't take ourselves very seriously and view working at Barstool Sports as a way to avoid becoming slaves to cubicle life. All of our stories will be written from the heart and we can assure you that there will be no hidden agendas or politics involved in anything we discuss. We always encourage feedback from our readers on what you like and don't like about our newspaper and website and will try and make this thing as entertaining and fun to read as humanly possible. We truly look forward to becoming part of this city and hope that you have as much fun reading Barstool as we do putting it together.
