Laid Off TFM Writer Dan Regester Is Taking All Of His Severance Pay To Vegas “To Double Up”

Back Door Cover

Dan Regester, one of our writers that we very sadly had to let go earlier this week, came into the Grandex podcast studio today to discuss his recent layoff, gambling, college football, gambling on college football, and taking the entirety of his severance pay to Vegas this weekend to gamble on college football to “double it up.”

I love this kid so much. Who is good-natured enough to join a podcast with the guys who are still employed by the employer who just laid him off? AND be in good spirits? Dan, that’s who. A great soul. Also a really great writer and personality who is a free agent so get at him before someone else does.

As Dan explains on Thursday’s Back Door Cover, he is taking all of his severance pay, which hits his bank account tomorrow morning (about the time he’ll be rolling into Vegas), to a Las Vegas sports book to gamble all of it. “All of it.” Dan departs this evening to make the 17-hour drive to Vegas, where he will check into Harrah’s and settle into a sports book and let it all ride on this weekend’s slate of college football games.

Hit the Wynn, Dan. Great sports book. Hot cocktail waitresses.

He will be documenting his picks on Snapchat so follow him and ride the emotional highs and lows of watching his severance pay come and go along with him.

      Let’s see if this strategy pays off, hopefully he didn’t take any tips from Sibs

      Sorry to piggyback comment. In the picture shown Dan might actually be the least fat person in the group.

      It might have something to do with the sad realization that TFM is officially dead

      he probably got fired because he’s pushing 30 and was still writing for tfm

    Laid off Regester without giving him a Kobe or Big Papi-esque farewell season? What is this, North Korea?

        Why the fuck did you keep Wally? His articles are legitimately aggravating.

        Thank God, TSM was absolutely vile, Jezebel level articles, replete with pure sloot logic and emotional reasoning justifying poor decision making.

        Wish I could upvote this a hundred times. Their “articles” were full of SJW nonsense and praised the most classless, base slut behavior. I hope they were missing their demographic.

        I can’t up vote this either because I never read TSM….but hey, if that’s your thing.

    I’m probably gonna sound like a dumbass, something I’m completely okay with, but who are the guys to the left and right of Dan?

      That’s Bolen on Dan’s left. I have no idea who that dumpy fuck to his right is, though.
