FRESHLY BAKED: BARSTOOL’S EPIC RUN

Imagine selling your house at the top of the market.

Times are good.

You close on a great offer and move out.

You’re happy, your wife’s happy, and your bank account’s happy.

The guy that bought your house though? Not that happy.

’Cause that same year, he realizes he’s in waayy over his head with this house.

He’s now gotta foreclose on it, so he offers it back to you for $1.

Deal of the century, right?!

Well, that’s exactly what happened to Dave Portnoy this week.
