re: Barstool drops Mintzy for accidentally saying the N word on air

Penn paid for the barstool sportsbook audience, they don’t give a shite about the barstool content

Which is dumb because where do they think that audience came from?

I agree, just responding to the previous poster

Hopefully now everyone at 104.5 and culotta can stop acting like Mintz is a gift to the media contingent

He’s not wrong either, some have made it difficult for them to get licenses just because of the barstool affiliation.

Penn knew exactly what they were getting into

So fricking stupid. He was singing a rap lyrics.

Shouldn’t have gotten fired for that.

I figured they would have already figured him for being terrible

Imagine when Penn finds out Gaz dressed as black face for Halloween

I wasn’t that familiar with him from his 104.5 days, and I was excited to see him when he first got to barstool. But I was immediately disinterested in his schtick. He’s just not entertaining or funny.

The real losers are T-Bob & Company (other local radio personalities that were affiliated with Game Coin) that adored Ben thinking it would connect them to be cool with Dave & Dan somehow.

I guess they’ll double down with RB&R Devin Snow now - hoping he gets picked up by Barstool and they can grab his coat tails.

I wonder how much they were paying Mintzy?

My guess on his three year renewal was $90k + a bonus structure for everyone that used his specific new account promo code when he was at activation type events.

He was the perfect personality for them to drag out to their 4 Louisiana Casinos and their Barstool Sportsbooks when no one else wanted to go.

I liken it to getting the lead singer of Lit/Wheatus/CrazyTown to show up for pennies to an anniversary event at a Hard Rock Cafe in Tulsa or Topeka.
