Dante's Daily Rundown - Friday April 25, 2025 - Mel Kiper Jr. Is A Weirdo Who Is Strangely Obsessed with Shadeur Sanders. Philly Cheesesteaks Are Blowing Up In Japan, Just Wait 'Til They Try Philly Roast Pork. Nicky Smokes Writes Some Weird Blogs Man. Jaxson Darts Mom Is Very Attractive, But Nowhere Near Aidan Hutchinson's Mom. And Why Does Dave Discourage His Employees From Working?
Here is my Daily Rundown for Friday April 25, 2025.
TOPIC #1 - MEL KIPER JR. IS A WEIRDO. WAS SUCKING OFF SHADEUR SANDERS NON STOP LAST NIGHT.
Mel Kiper Jr. (NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH MEL PIPEHER JR.), is a strange dude.
He used to just look like a weirdo. Like one of those Elvis impersonators who didn't pull it off well enough to work in Vegas. So they had to make due in the outskirts of Reno. But now, in his older age, he's gone completely off the rails. I have no idea how or why he still has a job at ESPN. (Speaking of which, wtf happened to our boy McShay?)
Props to Reags for digging up the old Jimmy Clausen quotes from Kiper. Kiper was convinced Clausen was the next Dan Marino. And his conviction of how successful Sanders is going to be in the NFL is even greater. If you're an NFL exec who went to bed on the fence about snagging Sanders today or tomorrow if he's still there when you're on the clock, surely seeing Kiper going overboard like this has to make you run the other way no?
TOPIC #2- JAXSON DART'S MOM IS EXTREMELY PRETTY YES JERRY, BUT SHE IS NOWHERE NEAR AIDAN HUTCHINSON'S MOM'S LEVEL
Mrs. Dart is a stone cold fox. No ifs, ands, or buts, about it. But how does Jerry use Zach Wilson’s mom as the measuring stick in his blog, and NOT Aidan Hutchinson’s goddess of a mother?
TOPIC #3- PHILLY CHEESESTEAKS BLOWING UP IN JAPAN. RIGHTFULL SO. WAIT UNTIL THEY TRY A PHILLY ROAST PORK.
I've been saying this for a little bit now, and if you're from Philaldelphia, or have traveled there and had the privilege of having one before, then you already know. They are in a whole other league than cheesesteaks. They are light years better. Everywhere does cheesesteaks. All around the country. Sure Philly perfected them, specializes in them, and does versions that make your dick hard (like D'Allesandro's cheeseteak with red sauce, ay Madone!). But as far as I have seen traveling coast to coast, there is nobody that does porchetta like this in America.

Philly is sneaky one of the greatest food cities in this country.
TOPIC #4 - NICKY SMOKES WRITES SOME VERY STRANGE BLOGS. BUT I LOVE TO READ THEM
*Very strange titled blogs. But credit to the kid, they draw you in. Or draw me in. I enjoy reading the blogs Nicky writes. Emphasis on Nicky writes.
He's crazy, but in a good way. In an entertaining way.
And I love that he gives zero fucks about anybody who rips him. A LOT of people around here love to go out of their way to proclaim "nobody reads the comments", but I'll let you in on a little secret- they do. I'll save it for another day but you'd be shocked if you knew to what extent some of the people here have gone to pertaining to the comment section.
But I digress.
Nicky, keep writing. We need original, unique, off-the-wall shit here on the blog. And keep not giving a fuck about people knocking you. There's a difference between constructive criticism, and just people straight up hating.

TOPIC #5 - CLEARING THE AIR ABOUT MY JOHN SUMMIT COMMENTS
Watch the video, read the blog. There was never any issue with John. He’s my guy. I’ve been his biggest supporter since day 1.
My issue is with Dave and him coming for me any time he gets the chance.
I don’t know if it’s some bizarre form of motivation, reverse psychology, or if he’s just the worst boss on the planet who purposely tries to discourage people from “working”, but I used to not even give a shit. I’ve known the guy for 20 years and know how he is.
The problem is my parents. My mom has no clue how things go here. She didn’t know barstool even existed until a few years ago when people kept asking her questions about stuff they’d see on here. My mom thinks everybody here sucks and asks “why do you let people talk to me the way they do?”. I tell her it’s all jokes and for fun I’m good nature but she thinks I’m a moron and they’re all dickheads.
Then there’s my father. Who also didn’t know barstool existed until a few years ago. And since learning about it, he’s become the biggest Team Portnoy guy that I know.
I can’t go a day without him updating me on what Dave said or tweeted, and when it involves me, it feels like i’m back in high school and in trouble with the school. “Why are you always on his bad side?”
“Why do you get under his skin? Smarten up.”
Shit like that.
End rant. Long story short, Dave is a hater, but it’s only going to drive me to work harder.
