Why is Dave Portnoy in a Danbury Trashers Jersey?
He's a self-made media mogul that can move the dial from 0-100, just by wearing a team jersey.

That is precisely what happened yesterday when Dave Portnoy of Barstool Sports put on his new Danbury Trashers jersey and made a brief speech to the Twiiter-sphere. Portnoy said:
First reaction, my dude posted this at 10:19 am on a Wednesday? I guess if you reach the top, you can wake up when it's almost tomorrow. What time you get up this morning, the future? Cool. The second reaction was holy hell, this media wave never runs out of gas. I know AJ and Jimmy Galante, and every time I see them, they are astounded by the interest in their story.
Both men have remarked to me on several occasions that they can't believe the response. They say it's been non-stop since the release of their documentary "Untold: Crime & Penalties" debuted on Netflix in August of 2021.
But I don't want to speak for AJ, so I texted him, and asked him what he thought of Portnoy's Tweet. I told him I needed 5 minutes, I just had three questions, and he got back to me right away.
If turning red and blowing a pulsating vein out the side of your neck is a prerequisite for working there, I can do that too.
