It’s the barstool model. Blast out company drama and hang employees jobs on the line for clicks Marty Mintzy Billy Rico And those are just in the last few months.


It’s a sports content company in the slowest month of the sports year. Almost all of those have been since the NBA Finals (Marty was the very end of them). It’s all manufactured to help them get clicks until football. Some of it has been funny and entertaining, like Tom Brady #teamhank tweet.

Billy was about the only non-manufactured drama, he legit is close to being fired. He doesn’t contribute nearly enough to get away with the crap he was pulling.

Yes he is, I played him in tennis growing up. He had the worst attitude of anyone I have ever played! He would yell, cuss, throw his racquet and all sorts of nonsense!

Ahh....Mintz is a good guy. Smart as hell...and got his dream job. Works his arse off really trying to drive content. His coverage of college baseball and his "grow the game" campaign was actually pretty good imo. He's one of the few up there that tries and works hard for the company. In real life, he's as nice as he can be.

I like Mintz but it’s no secret his entire job is based around the shite he thinks is fun… festivals, concerts, SEC baseball/football. Must be tough to work hard

Hilarious that stoolies can’t see this for what it’s worth. A dying, boring platform trying to get clicks to appease their corporate overlords.

It’s the same type shite as ESPN where there’s a “controversy” and every show has to have a big segment on the controversy of the day


It’s hilarious to look back at early PMT. They were the anti-ESPN and regularly mocked ESPN’s content cycle antics where an ESPN employee said/did something and every other show talked about it. Now that’s just Barstool

Mintz brings absolutely no money into barstool.

I would bet that’s the same for about 90% of the company

I honestly wonder if this is Portnoy playing chess not checkers. Mintz brings absolutely no money into barstool. He exists for Dave and Big Cat to make fun of. I almost think this is a way to cut his dead weight as content instead of his contract just not getting renewed because he doesn't do anything


Pfft. Dave loves Mintz. This is all an act. I actually bet Ben is at least in the top half of money producers

Mintz is legit fricking retarded. Dave was on a Coke binge and hired him on a whim. He then kind of endeared himself to folks because he’s mostly worthless but a nice guy about it. He somehow found a way to frick that up

His voice was tough to listen to on his show in the shreveport area . He just talked about fantasy sports and gambling and then they fired him and removed sports talk completely from that station when he started doing his show while he was running errands and shite. For the last month it sounded like he was running on a treadmill or something while he was trying to talk into the phone. He’d be huffing and puffing like he was about to pass out , I’d imagine it was just from walking and talking, considering he was morbidly obese at that time.

And god help you if you happen to listen in after he got back from a poker tournament, you would have to hear him talk about every fricking hand he got in The Whole multi day event.
His show sucked and his voice was weird as shite.
I was absolutely shocked to find out he got a job in Baton Rouge and then I was even more blown away to find out that he was at barstool until I realized that they have people hired that blog once a year and that the whole company has the maturity level of a bunch of fricking kids and then realized it sucked and he sucks so it goes together.
Now they are exploiting this poor bastards southern trusting ways to make their arrogant prick boss happy.

frick portnoy , he’s a fricking douche bag
