Fuck Kevin Connolly: Jersey Jerry's Army, The Minifans, and Rico's Ryders Have Waged War on The Short Guy From Entourage
So the other day Francis called out half of the bloggers at Barstool for what I believe he called, "blog juicing". Which as I understand it is the art of taking other people's good content, and throwing it up on the blog under your name for clicks. That's exactly what I'll be doing here. But I'll do my best to make it worthwhile. Someone should lay this all out on the blog. Cross promotion as Nate calls it. I hope this lives up to your standards Fran.
As you may have seen on Twitter, there's a full blown war going on. I'll do my best to make it all make sense.
On Thursday morning, after Dave Portnoy was done verbally eviscerating the Barstool New York Office (i.e. me), Jersey Jerry came on the show with a complaint of his own. Jerry had beef with Ryan Whitney, and Whitney didn't have the slightest clue why.
As you saw in the video, it turns out Jersey Jerry has a mortal enemy blood-feud situation with the short guy from Entourage (i.e. Kevin Connolly). You also might recognize the name Bob Does Sports. He's pretty huge on the internet. Makes primarily makes golf content.
Well before Jerry ever joined barstool, Kevin Connolly (rat) fucked him and Bob over. He begged them to join whatever stupid media company he owns that nobody has heard of, and they agreed. Sounds like he was promising good money too if Jerry's deal was $50k part-time. But almost instantly, Kevin Connolly, got hammered and fired Bob. That left Jerry hanging out to dry. He had no clue if he was supposed to still be making content, or if he was fired too. Jerry couldn't even get an answer from him.
Then of course, Kevin Connolly (scumbag rat bitch) has an editor fire Jerry in the middle of the night. He get rid of Jerry, and still owed him $35k. Of course he refused to pay. Jerry tried to lawyer up, and Connolly does what rich scumbags do and continued pushing back court dates to bleed him dry. He was never going to pay Jerry. He still hasn't paid Jerry. Major asshole.
So when Jerry saw Kevin Connolly making content with Spittin' Chiclets, he's a fucking pissed. Just the Chiclet's boys chumming it up with Jerry's mortal enemy. Mocking Jerry right to his face.

So naturally, as Jerry is one to do, he starts the process of going nuclear on Twitter.
All the meanwhile, Jerry has put the ball in Spittin' Chiclets court. He politely requested the take down the Kevin Connolly golf video to stand in solidarity with him. Whitney promised to look into the situation. Which seems fair. You wanna make sure you've got all the facts before pulling a whole video like that.
Then Jerry gathered more dirt. This afternoon he hinted at a major bombshell of a screen shot that would be VERY bad for Connolly.

Soon enough, Jerry had permission to drop the screen shot. A screen shot from one of the last people you'd think was about to enter this argument. The wife of NFL Quarterback Matt Stafford, Kelly Stafford.
Turns out Jerry was NOT lying about having a bombshell screenshot. I don't know what more proof you need to determine that somebody is a crum bum. Kelly Stafford was selling out merch, selling out shows, and didn't get a lick of money. Kevin Connolly basically just started an entire media company where is strategy was to squeeze as much content out of people as he possibly could, then turn around and pay them nothing. He didn't even bother talking to his employees.
So that was all the proof Chiclets needed to pull the video
The Kevin Connolly Sandbagger video is no more. Not until he's paid Jerry and all the other creators he fucked over.

Now if you're Jersey Jerry, the logical next step is to stick your rabid internet army, The Jersey Jerry Army, all over Kevin Connolly's rat ass. And if that wasn't enough, he's recruited help from the Minifans, and the Rico Ryders.

So that should pretty much catch you up. Dave and Big Cat said it best, there might not be a scarier trio of internet army's to have on your ass than The Jersey Jerry Army, the Minifans, and the Rico Ryder's. There's quite literally nothing they could do that would surprise me. And for good measure, I think there's still 1 guy on Twitter who still does the "John Rich Army" joke. I'm sticking him on Connolly's ass too.
If this rat has the money he's gotta pay up now. Good luck pricing Jerry out a lawsuit now asshole. You're no longer the only rich person in this equation.
I'm so sorry I almost forgot. Tank's got his best people on the case too.
