Description
The rags-to-riches tale of controversial media personality Dave Portnoy.
17 years ago, I started a little gambling rag in my parents basement called Barstool Sports. I had no idea, nobody could predict, the wild ride that it would set my life on. Dave Portnoy, January 2020
Dave Portnoys unpredictable rise to fame and fortune didnt happen overnight. And as Barstools Kevin Clancy explained, Itll never happen again. From handing out newspapers alone in a dirty subway station, to selling his digital media company for half a billion dollars, and then buying it back for $1, Portnoys 20-year, controversy-filled Barstool Sports adventure is one you have to read to believe.
