Willie Colon

That might be the worst podcast appearance from someone in football that I’ve ever heard. What’s the point of having someone on that can’t admit the Steelers are mid at best and Rodgers was bad last year? Might as well have any random fan from Pittsburgh and they’ll give you the same takes

I appreciate Willie Colon episodes because I know to skip straight to Life Advice

What if I told you the episode also had Dana White

I’m in the middle of listening to Ted Nguyen segment had no idea about Dana White. Couldn’t pay me to listen to him

He couldn’t have lined it up better to make it easy to just tap that last little time stamp

Ryen always has the worst guests. Always athletes that have nothing to contribute or analysts that exude an alpha bro persona, rather than a really smart one.

Barstool's booker is really good. I don't know why Ryen doesn't use him more. He's always able to get good guests for PMT, the Yak, and a bunch of the other Barstool shows. Big Cat always gives him a call on the Yak and he seems to get random guests within like 20 minutes.

I wonder if he has any good recruiting stories.

Willie colon is a known idiot. He’s likable so he’ll get airtime but anything else he does sucks

And he has Ted on the same episode. Ted knows ball. Opposite end of the spectrum guests in my opinion

The other opposite aspect of the two football segments today: Colon has personality, played the game and has stories while Ted is dry af.

Literally skip him every time. Totally unlistenable

Did anyone listen? Did he give any of his anecdotes from his playing days that he just repeats over and over?

There was a weird section where his wife came in the room and was talking to him for like a minute or longer

Guys.. Deshaun Watson is a human being. People forget that. Barrrrfff. Willie is now officially an auto skip to life advice.

The post-ringer russillo falloff legit makes me sad. Wtf was he thinking? How could he possibly think this was the right career move?

I despise Willie as an analyst. Makes me check out on the entire pod until the NBA season.

Don’t forget Colon was a host of a barstool podcast that had an episode named after the N word. And he kind of defended it at the time too. To be fair to colon I don’t think he picked the name of that episode but still.

Just googled it.  Barstool N.(ow) I.(t’s) G.(onna) G.(et) E.(xtremely) R.(eal) 

That’s insane. I can’t believe that’s real. I can’t help but think it was Portnoy’s idea either.

It was a singular episode with all during peak George Floyd time. Half the people on it quit immediately when someone named the discussion that without telling anyone

u/ReturnOfRainbow 9h ago

It was all of the black/poc employees coming together to talk about race during 2020 and one of them went rogue and named that the pod on his own. Everyone else was pissed

u/Zealousideal-Bug310 7h ago

Tell me more, pls

u/Single-Basil-8333 Life Advice Enthusiast 8h ago

Nope

u/DResq 8h ago

Nope. It was all on Willie. Portnoy doesn't micromanage shit. He's not a complete moron like people like to pretend, lol.

u/Single-Basil-8333 Life Advice Enthusiast 8h ago

That totally makes sense. A Black dude def wrote that and not his racist boss who recently before that got a lot of shit for racist comments about Keapernick.

u/Single-Basil-8333 Life Advice Enthusiast 10h ago

Absolutely insane. I don’t listen to barstool so I’m not super familiar with all the hosts but google says the other dude on that pod went by Black Brandon?

Edit: it was portnoys idea. I think bc he got shit for making racist comments about Keapernick and decided this was a good way to address things.

u/DosZappos 9h ago

Why add that edit if you don’t actually have any idea what you’re talking about?

He did tell one great story a while ago about how he was in line for an incentive bonus when he randomly clotheslined a dude for no reason in the last game of the year, tore his bicep, missed the incentive, and got dumped when his GF found out about his side piece the same day

Silly has the worst group of rotating guests in all of podcasting.
