On Tap: DFS After Dark & Week 8 DFS Cram
Last week I shared a new Swolecast shirt I had made. A few days later I found out that Rotogrinders would no longer be hosting The Swolecast—a DFS comedy show I’ve done for over four years now.
The show was one of many casualties at RotoGrinders this week after its parent company—Better Collective—laid off over 100 employees, including some long-time DFS personalities like David Kitchen (my Swolecast co-host) and Squirrel Patrol.
You can get more context about the cutdowns here, but the TLDR is an equity company made a really bad bet, forecasted a huge downturn in 2025 revenue, and then watched their stock tank.
Regardless of the who/what/whys, the end result is that one of the longest-running institutions in the DFS space is getting stripped down to its bare bones.
