I figured I should have a website, because that's what everybody was doing.
You judge a pizza place on their cheese slice.
We don't back down from controversy - we fan the fires. People think we go out of our way to create it, but we don't.
I like coal fired. I'm definitely, generally, always a coal-fired guy. Crispy, don't do a ton of sauce, but kind of a well-done, coal-fired pizza is my jam.
I make the decisions nobody else has the stomach to make.
The people at Barstool Sports are a bunch of average Joes, who like most guys love sports, gambling, golfing and chasing short skirts.
I always wanted to find something that I could wake up and not hate doing. Hating your job was probably my nightmare scenario.
I call it as I see it.
The fact that Manti Te'o thought for a long time that he was dating, like, a fake girl and then that she died and did the tribute and the girl never existed. I mean inherently that's funny.
I really don't turn the other cheek. So when I feel like I'm being attacked, I don't back down.
The first time I used 'Viva La Stool,' I was just bragging about something. People grabbed it, and it went viral organically.
If we sell a T-shirt, that probably means we thought it was a huge event that resonated with our crowd.
This is exactly why Barstool Sports has to exist. We're one of the few places - maybe the only place - on the Internet where we don't let agendas dictate what we do.
The motto is, control our destiny, do new things, where we talk directly with our consumers and aren't dependent on ad revenue.
We really want Barstool Sports to be a brand that means something. It doesn't just have to be myself... you see the logo, that bar stool and the stars around it, and you know you're getting a certain type of vibe, a certain type of brand.
We make it very clear, we don't want our fans to say over-the-line things. But if someone is saying, 'I can't wait for Dave Portnoy to go out of business,' I don't care if our fans say, 'You're the worst.'
I want to make a boatload of money and i want to poof and maybe make it on the senior tour, live on islands, get a bigger Nantucket house.
Some girls are just cut out to be housewives, drive SUVs and sing in the shower as opposed to being superstars.
We're sick of other people saying what other people should laugh at.
I go on EEI shows. I go on with people I like.
