Dave disagrees with you, and his opinion is kinda important…

So the "worldwide leader in sports", with all of their coverage, insiders, etc, is going to be setting lines for games? What could go wrong there

For every person that says he's terrible, the only way you know that is if you have watched him enough to form that opinion. With the key part of that last sentence being "you watched him."


I knew of him before he went to Barstool. And since he went to Barstool, as soon as I see him involved in something there, I don’t give it the time of day.

Barstool is definitely known for being lean and mean and not carrying around any dead weight when it comes to staff.

These always crack me up. Every person who follows barstool knows the moment Dave bought it yesterday he would be in first thing this morning to prove a point.

What are the chances that they stop hyping Frank and his sad mental and physical state. The guy needs help, not publicity.

Right. People like watching trainwrecks. They love watching people make fools of themselves, or be totally oblivious to being unintentionally funny. Mintz does that.

One way to look at it is...there's probably more Mintz discussion on the MSB than any other Barstool employee.

Obviously the MSB is just one place but it's hard to say he's not doing his job well when everyone around here talks about him more than all other Barstool personalities.

he also gets more traction here because of his local ties to Louisiana and Mississippi and the bulk of the users on this board are from.....where?

He amuses Dave so to that degree, yes he is doing his job.

Very small. Some youtube guy caught Dave headed to dinner last night and did a few question interview. Asked him who would lead the office when he's in Miami, he said Frank lol

Not to mention they actually have a hand in an aspect of the game, ESPN chooses the kickoff times and dates for a lot of games.

Frank has his issues but the guy is a full blown celebrity in NYC.

I mean Adam Schefter and Woj could cause massive ripples in betting by themselves
