Tommy Smokes: Epitomizing Cowardly New Barstool
Penn stock has dipped around $100 from where it was in March. The truth of the matter is, Barstool Sports represents the declining past. That’s not a place where stars grow anymore. Guys who built that brand like Jared Carrabis and Coley Mick walked out the door. Instead, they prioritize muppets they can control like Tommy Smokes.
Make no mistake, Barstool is a powerful media conglomerate. It’s just become a machine that has zero heart inside the building itself. Dave Portnoy isn’t even trying anymore. He resides in Miami now and makes zero effort even to do Barstool Sports Advisors anymore. He wants yes men like Tommy Smokes.
Maybe it’s not Dave’s fault. This is just the way it has to be. It’s called human evolution. He’s not hungry anymore. He cares about attention. Trey cares about glory and honor. Something that’s apparently lost and nowhere to be found at Barstool. This is just the way the story will be written I guess. When the rest of the world finds out that Trey is funny AND actually knows sports… oh, we haven’t even gotten to the real battle that’s yet to come.
Don’t ask me why but Twitter continues to recommend me things on my timeline that I just have no interest in looking at (here’s a link to the last example). I’m not going to lie, when I saw this video, I gasped. I gasped thinking that if I had uttered these words, I’m not sure I’d show my face in public again.
I can’t even believe what I just watched. I don’t need to kiss and tell here while going over how pathetic this is. I didn’t know Barstool represented one pump chumps. I didn’t know Barstool represents one hit quitters. Five minutes? And then double down saying you’re 100% right? Never mind, I guess I shouldn’t be surprised. This is new Barstool. A paradox of cowards.
I’m not going to go into detail about how Trey throws down. What I can tell you is that cares very much about having a positive GDR.
I truly wouldn’t show my face in public if I said this. I guess this is just the way it has to be. The Barstool Sports decline is coming. When you fill the room with guys like Jeff Vibbert, White Sox Dave, and Tommy Smokes, there is no eye of the tiger. Given his self-proclaimed performance in the bedroom, eye of the piegon might be a more accurate description of what Barstool has become.
