LET ME GET THIS STRAIGHT Underdog lays a bunch of people off. Jared probably could’ve stayed somewhere himself, but not with the entire crew. Portnoy reaches out with a Barstool offer, but Jared turns it down because he can’t bring and pay all his guys there too. So instead this dude spends DAYS calling sponsors, media companies, literally anybody possible trying to build something independent from scratch so everyone can stay together and keep their jobs. Then during one of the hardest moments for the show, JAKE LEAVES ABRUPTLY because there isn’t magically a contract with money that DOES NOT EXIST YET. Then a month later it turns into all this public complaining and discourse like Jared was sitting on a pile of money refusing to pay people while he’s actively trying to keep the entire thing alive. Then Jared finally gets a gambling sponsor so he can actually pay everybody and keep the show alive and people react like HE specifically is responsible for every gambling addiction in America as if sports media hasn’t been completely covered in sportsbook ads for the last five years. Every sports podcast, league, network, pregame show, halftime show, stadium, and probably your local Little League scoreboard is sponsored by DraftKings or some other sportsbook Did I miss anything @Jared_Carrabis

nobody got paid. we were all unemployed. a company did not exist. if he were to file for unemployment, I’m assuming it would’ve been with Underdog, not me. he wasn’t my employee, he was my co-worker. our contracts expired and we were figuring out what the next move was. everyone got paid for the first time on May 8. he resigned on March 31. of those five weeks he was “unpaid”, we weren’t doing shows for four of them. I was on the phone getting sponsors to help pay for everybody seven days a week, all hours of the day, so that we could try to go independent. that wasn’t even set in stone yet because we were also talking to media companies. he did three shows and then quit on the spot (with no notice and refused to help Emond and Jeremy with a transition on how to produce the shows) because I wouldn’t put in writing what his salary and equity would be when we had just started the process of getting sponsorship. we weren’t even remotely close to being able to put those things in writing. we had no idea what to expect for revenue at that point, so I thought it was an unfair ask given where all of us were at. again, nobody was getting paid, myself included. I had also just purchased everybody brand new laptops for about 15 grand out of my own pocket, him included, because they had company laptops that got locked and didn’t have their own. if I hadn’t done that, the shows would’ve gone on a second hiatus in about two months. I did not ask for or expect to be paid back by him or anybody else. if he had come to me as a friend and said times were tough, I would’ve helped him as best as I could. I’ve offered the same to Tyler many times. he didn’t do that. there’s more to that exchange and important context and I will gladly fill in the rest of the details on the podcast. my response to him wasn’t super warm, but there’s justifiable reason for that. I’ve got nothing I can’t explain in regards to all of this. also want to note that I hate that it’s come to this becuse I was happy to just go our separate ways and thank him for his contributions on the show when we announced his departure and just leave it at that. I genuinely mean it when I say we would’ve never gotten to this point without him, but I won’t stand for the picture he’s painted because it’s not right.

@TolleEnthusiast Jared Carrabis has been a scumbag for years, who are you trying to convince here? We have mountains of evidence, Jared was looking out for himself. He didn't go back to Barstool for the same reason he left in the first place. He doesn't want to be told what to do.

Q: “The DOJ has this new fund — $1.7 billion. Why should taxpayers pay for the January 6ers?” Trump: “Because in my world, loyalty outranks law. They broke the rules for me, so you pay the bill for them. That’s the transaction.” (2026)

Right wing people are, by nature, respectful to others and the future. It's why they have so few protests. They want to be patient and understanding, to win people over by rational and logical reasoning. Leftists pay lip service to such things while completely disregarding the actual meaning behind those concepts, the ultimate in hypocrisy.

Trump: Thomas Massie is really a Democrat. He voted against men playing in women’s sports. He voted against the mutilzation of your children. He voted against open borders.

Hmm. Royce Lewis is never healthy. He’s seen regression across the board and has been horrible to start the year. …but man this would be an intriguing buy low acquisition for the Red Sox. Wouldn’t hurt to make an effort. 🤷‍♂️

According to multiple sources, the #MNTwins have optioned Royce Lewis.
