As one of Barstool Sports OG Stoolies, I’m obviously aware of Dave Portnoy and the juggernaut media empire he has built over the years. In fact, it was a relatively small group of us who were originally around at the very start of it all. One of my closest friends introduced me to Dave when he was getting his newspaper off the ground. He was also starting a messageboard I signed up for under the screen name Boondyboy as the website’s 11th total member. This was back when the message board was the draw, although it did accompany an uploaded copy of the newspaper. That same web domain later became the blog and skyrocketed Barstool Sports’ popularity to the moon. However, the comradery among the board’s users at those legendary parties was foundational in creating the Stoolie culture. Memorable parties at “The Place” like the original March Madness, where we were each given tape with our usernames on it, like a makeshift “Hello, my name is” badge at an awkward 8th grade dance. It was an ice breaker for most of us who had never met in person until that faithful drunken day. So, knowing Prez since day one, it’s no surprise he’s again making headlines for giving back to those Hustlers, making a name for themselves at what they love doing.
El Prez, Davey Pageviews, The Blogfather, Leader Of The Brady Four, Published Children’s Book Author, Size-6 Skinny Jeans Opponent, Portnoy has been called many things over the years. But his most underrated title during his reign as Barstool’s figurehead has been as a Philanthropist. However, his list of charitable causes often gets overlooked when envious media outlets looking for the publicity kill-shot only undermine their own credibility in their failed attempt to expose the ideological comedic differences within their audiences. It’s those same pro cancel culture publications hoping to smear Portnoy’s reputation that are the main reason the once liberal Masshole is now firmly in the MAGA camp.
Although Howard Stern is considered “The King Of All Media,” Pageviews could inherit the crown when Stern retires soon. Until then, Portnoy’s brands continue to grow through nonstop character-driven content across all media platforms. Even Portnoy’s “One-Bite” reviews are the best thing to happen to the pizza industry since the invention of toppings. Not only is Dave the hero Pizza needs, he’s the one it truly deserves. I mean, it’s because of this man here that Tom Brady’s Son and his howitzer will never have to rely upon dating apps for future relationship needs. Now that the entire world knows the Kid’s packing legit heat in the dong department. Does that automatically mean Dave Portnoy is a more influential male figure in Brady’s Son’s life than Mr. Tom Terrific himself? I doubt it. Still, at the very least, Prez will always be held in higher regard than Giselle’s Karate-Instructing Baby Daddy within the Brady household and among true lifelong Bostonians.
