Penn down 22% today? If it is because of this, it may be a buying opportunity.

Edit: sorry looks like a big earnings miss….

Buying that dip. Delta hit casino foot traffic and this Portnoy stuff will be washed over in a day. Only people who actually buy the story are those who hate Barstool anyways. Dave is uncancellable.

I bought some additional shares at $57. PENN up 7% so basically where it was after the earnings miss and before the Portnoy story. Dave cannot be canceled and the story has no legs because it fell apart the minute Dave shared the DMs that backed his side. "victim" wanted to come back to his place the next month and get more pounding.

Dave Portnoy cannot be canceled. You can't cancel someone who 1: doesn't give a shit about what his critics think of him and 2: fights back

He doesn't care about his critics in the sense that he won't change who he is or his approach in order to appease them as most people in entertainment spaces do. That's what makes him so authentic.

Dave Portnoy can not fail, he can only be failed.

How far is it from prostitution if you're flying someone out for sex?

He does well for himself considering he looks like someone for some reason tried to draw an antisemitic caricature of Andy Travis from WKRP.

It's not hard to see the appeal of Portnoy in this age of inauthenticity. I don't much care for his personality at times, but at least it's real.

As opposed to Bernstein. Is Bernstein evolved or isn't he? We really don't know. So there's always that layer of mistrust I have with him.

I'm excited for this. Biz might be the most exciting voice in hockey media. The Globe and Mail in Toronto went so far last year as to say he is likely to be the voice of this generation that becomes as influential as Don Cherry



My Biz hockey memory is him getting a game misconduct 1 shift into a playoff game vs the Hawks when he didn't have his tie down strap on. It was the game after the Hossa head shot from Torres so Biz had to know he would be fighting.

I'm bored enough that I'm actually watching this Portnoy "press conference". If everything he's rambling about is actual fact...I don't know how Business Insider survives this.

My only thought is that if what he's saying is true...then he is getting railroaded.

He has the social media posts, DMs, etc. all saved. The facts are on his side. It was a hit piece intent on destroying him. Portnoy at least has the facts on his side and shows why you should always fight for yourself in such a case. Never surrender or give ground to these types of people at BI.

I am prepared to start a VIVA chant in my office today at 3pm CST. I think everyone should join me in solidarity with our fearless leader El Pres. Who is with me?

Grudge Dave is honestly my favorite version of Dave Portnoy. He said it best himself when he said he is the person who will aim a cannon at your ship, fire until he sinks you, and then after sinking you will continue firing down into the depths of the ocean at the wreck.

He isn't joking when he says so much of the company has been of spite for his enemies.

I respect someone who goes down into the mud and fights. If Louis C.K. had the balls to do that, he would still have his career.

Interesting tidbit from his show this week was that they retained all of their advertisers and none were scared off despite BI trying to contact them all. I guess having the truth on your side matters in these cases.

I suspect their advertisers, like Penn itself, knows what it is getting. And yes having a hit piece put out is no reason to run away.
