(edit-Patrick disagrees entirely with the premise of this article. So, when you go to the comments section to tell me I'm an idiot, you're just piling on.)
In a way, the presence of this website owes a lot to a writer we pretty much abhor. In our early days, when our only readership consisted of Patrick's drinking buddies and Tony's friends at The Innerwebs, Jenni Carlson wrote an article about Oklahoma State quarterback Bobby Reid that--depending on who you talk to--was racist, misinformed, and 100% true. Regardless, of how one feels about the now antiquated bit of journalism, it definitely inspired Mike Gundy to go, for lack of a better term, ape balls the next time he had an audience.
