Why would anyone want to connect themselves with the dying entity that is ESPN


because espn will be pimping their product and gambling even more.

wouldn't doubt if one of the espn channels becomes 24 hour gambling and tout channel.

Reddit saying Portnoy signed a non-compete

So I guess it’s back to the old days of just giving out picks without any sort of Sportsbook partnership

Very surprised that Dave could pull himself away from drama between tik tok stars to do this.

I do wonder who’s gonna cover the Livvy vs. Breckie beef now!

Team Breckie all the way!


I had no clue what that was until MSB taught me a few days ago, Breckie for days over Livvy!

i think the mintzy deal might have been when dave and penn decided to split.



Mintzy had nothing to do with multi-million dollar exchange of funds. Penn wanted the ESPN deal and that wasn't happening with Barstool.

Good. The gambling stuff was annoying as hell.

I have consumed little to no barstool content since the Super Bowl. Even PMT, which I listened to 3 times a week for years.

Maybe this rejuvenates it, or maybe I’m not the demo they’re after anymore. Their Instagram page is 98% gen z shite that I do not care an ounce about.

The only Barstool content I view/listen to at all is PMT in my podcast rotation and the Caleb Pressley Sundae Conversation, or just his IG page in general as he, along with Big Cat, are the best 2 things going on Barstool.

From what I’m hearing Penn basically gave it back to him for nothing?

They just wanted out.

So he made a couple hundred mill and then got it back for free.

Caleb definitely is the best they have to offer. I’ll probably start listening to PMT again when football starts, though I still contend they should cut back 1 show a week.

The barstool “personalities” are just incredibly stale to me

Yea, I work from home and generally just have time to listen to all of them.

But the show and their schtick is definitely one of those where it's tough to listen for 5+ years and think the show is still as good as it was when you first started. Not even sure it's something they're doing wrong as I just don't think there's much they could do to keep that fresh or new feel. But I still enjoy it enough to keep it in the rotation, I just skip the interviews/topics I'm not interested in.

He got 100% of the brand/name/content side back for free but signed a full non compete on the gambling side and signed away all their assets that are gambling related.

Penn also receives 50% of the proceeds on the content side if he ever sells again.

As has been mentioned he is still heavily invested in PENN.

I know it's their top podcast but PMT would be well served to take a whole summer off or something.
