Sometimes you don’t even know when you’ve already watched the end.

You had to be there. And now it’s over.

Bobby Witt Jr is Mike Trout but he happens to be playing in the same era as Japanese Babe Ruth and the larger than life home run champ.

We knew you needed a closer look at this one 🤯

[John LeFevre @JohnLeFevre]

In a just world, this would be a New York Times feature story - the Dave Portnoy Effect.

I randomly came across a Portnoy pizza review and just so happened to be close by. So I made the trip to Ah-Beetz in Delray Beach, Florida. He had given it an 8.4, which is (apparently) an excellent score. 

I don't follow Dave Portnoy. I don't consume Barstool's content, or even relate to the demographic it cultivates. I don't eat much pizza, except with my kids. I don't bet on sports, and generally think adult men who devote excessive hours to watching professional sports are wasting their time.

But, as someone who follows the zeitgeist, I can objectively say Portnoy seems like a very good person:
-> Earned his success; the free market seldom lies
-> Took Cancel Culture head-on and won
-> Raised ~$40 million for small businesses during COVID
-> Called out fake news outlets like Business Insider long before Ackman buried them
-> Personally donated and raised millions for great causes - law enforcement, first responders, animal shelters, etc. - as opposed to having a building named after himself at Harvard.

The pizza at Ah-Beetz is excellent. Very much worth the trip. But more interesting is the Dave Portnoy effect. I asked the owner about the influence he's had on their business. 

When Portnoy's review aired, Ah-Beetz was a single, small shop in a less-than-desirable strip mall not far from I-95, really far from the beach or what is generally considered a nice part of Palm Beach County.

Overnight, there was a two-hour wait, a pop that has never receded (because the food is also great). And now, in less than a year, there are soon-to-be 4 locations and 70+ employees, an expansion that they attribute almost entirely to Portnoy.

Revenue has increased more than 10x, or millions of dollars that are also attributable to Portnoy, for which he has not received/sought any attention or credit. 

Portnoy has completely changed their lives. And this has probably happened countless times all over the country. 

(Also, they said he was exceptionally kind and humble, and 100% sincere.)

This is America.

Pat Mahomes Sr could leave a bar and crash into my car head-on weekly and I’m still taking Mahomes over Purdy

[Ryan Clark @Realrclark25]

Patrick Mahomes retires today he’s the best I’ve ever seen, & there’s no conversation. He goes into the Hall with no vote. It’s almost become laughable. We should probably stop critiquing regular season woes and struggles. Just wait until Championship weekend & watch then.

[Louis Riddick @LRiddickESPN]

Every carry by Isiah Pacheco is like he thinks it might be his last. 💯

[Braiden Turner @bturner23]

Andy Reid went 11-5 & made the playoffs with Donnie Avery, Dexter Mccluster & Junior Hemingway catching balls from Alex Smith. 15 is our QB now & Andy hasn’t had a losing season here let’s relax a little on the receiving core

[The Reid Option @ReidOptionKC]

It's March 24th, 2022. The Chiefs have the most cap space in the NFL and the most picks in the NFL Draft.

[Dick Butkus @thedickbutkus]

@LorenRathert thanks loren you look tired go to bed

[Scott Loring @scottloringkc]

It’s January, the Chiefs are wearing white pants, and Travis Kelce has a beard again. Chiefs by a billion.
