Barstool Sports founder David Portnoy and his minions were released from jail on Wednesday morning — less than 24 hours after they were arrested for handcuffing themselves to each other at the NFL league offices in New York to protest Tom Brady’s four-game suspension.
As expected, Portnoy’s mug shot was a work of art.

If the Barstool Sports crew’s arrest wasn’t the greatest publicity stunt in blogging history, I don’t know what is. Every network from major ones like ESPN to your local news station was talking about Tuesday’s incident. I mean, seriously, look at these guys:

You can see more photos and videos from before the four men were arrested here.
These are the situations that produce legends.
