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

Lastly, if you’re a publication in search of a funny, creative writer with great takes and a strong work ethic, contact Dan via email or Twitter and thank me later..
Bold move, Cotton.

8 years ago at 11:26 pmSorry to piggyback comment. In the picture shown Dan might actually be the least fat person in the group.
8 years ago at 11:37 pmI dont know why but this article made me cringe for some reason.
8 years ago at 5:05 pmIt might have something to do with the sad realization that TFM is officially dead
8 years ago at 5:08 pmWel that escalated quickly
8 years ago at 5:13 pmIt actually escalated over the last three years.
8 years ago at 11:38 amhe probably got fired because he’s pushing 30 and was still writing for tfm
8 years ago at 8:38 amPost your picks on twitter, Mayonnaise Tits. I’ll ride that wave with you
8 years ago at 5:08 pmLaid off Regester without giving him a Kobe or Big Papi-esque farewell season? What is this, North Korea?
8 years ago at 5:10 pm“Great writer” but can’t keep a job at TFM. Huh?
8 years ago at 5:11 pmTFM has a new strict shitty writers policy
8 years ago at 5:23 pmThe implementation of this policy has gone well
8 years ago at 8:15 pmi haven’t gone in tfm in days but real fast did dan really get laid off?
8 years ago at 5:14 pmunfortunately
8 years ago at 5:14 pmWhy did you can them?
8 years ago at 5:26 pmSo he can make more money, of course.

8 years ago at 5:53 pmGlad he was honest and straight forward
8 years ago at 7:48 pmThat was cool he posted that, were gonna miss Boosh and Dan.
8 years ago at 7:53 pmDorn you’re the new fat guy. Embrace it.
8 years ago at 7:54 pmi didn’t ask for a link cocksucker. dan fucked maddie’s hoe. i am on inside
8 years ago at 9:36 pmBorislow you are literally the only good writer left. Don’t let us down.
8 years ago at 9:00 amWhy the fuck did you keep Wally? His articles are legitimately aggravating.
8 years ago at 5:52 pmYeah, along with Boosh, the TSM writers and Duda over at PGP
8 years ago at 5:15 pmoh no we lost TSM? where will we go to get buzzfeed content now???
8 years ago at 6:50 pmThank God, TSM was absolutely vile, Jezebel level articles, replete with pure sloot logic and emotional reasoning justifying poor decision making.
8 years ago at 8:28 pmWish 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.
8 years ago at 9:18 pmI can’t up vote this either because I never read TSM….but hey, if that’s your thing.
8 years ago at 5:40 amSo women were writing them?
8 years ago at 9:06 amThat isn’t frat, it’s irresponsible
8 years ago at 5:16 pmThey’re one in the same.
8 years ago at 5:20 pmI’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?
8 years ago at 5:16 pmThat’s Bolen on Dan’s left. I have no idea who that dumpy fuck to his right is, though.
8 years ago at 5:19 pmThat’s HotPiece. She’s really let herself go.
8 years ago at 5:32 pmThe orange shirt is Reece, the suicidal Texas fan
8 years ago at 5:07 pmJust hedge Sibs bets and you’ll be good.
8 years ago at 5:25 pm**From the Grave: Fuck you. And I bet that FSU money line, pal.
8 years ago at 5:56 pmThis lay you off too? Fucking cunts
8 years ago at 6:25 pmThey * fuck laying people off and can’t edit my comments
8 years ago at 10:36 pmI can’t hear you Dan! Hold the microphone closer to your HEAD!
