Dave Portnoy, the owner of Barstool Sports, and the promoter of Rough N’ Rowdy was not happy with Jose Canseco’s performance this evening.
In the main event of Rough N’ Rowdy 13, the former MLB star fought Barstool Sports intern, Billy Football. In the lead-up to the bout, Jose Canseco made it clear he was too powerful and would knock out the intern in the first-round. The intern, on the other hand, claimed he would shock the world so fans were anticipating a very entertaining bout, but it was far from that.
Right when the bell rang, Billy Football rushed after Jose Canseco and landed several shots. They then clinched and the Barstool Sports intern landed a heavy shot that dropped Canseco. After Canseco was dropped he held his shoulder and the ref stopped the fight.

Things change fast in financial markets, and Penn National Gaming (NASDAQ:PENN) is proving that point. Backed by an 8.52 percent gain on Thursday, Penn stock is higher by 10.57 percent. That surge is prompting one analyst to alter his price forecast on the gaming name.

After the close of US markets Thursday, Stifel analyst Steven Wieczynski issued a note to clients in which he reiterated a “buy” rating on Penn, with a new price target of $124. That new forecast comes just a few days after the analyst tagged the regional casino operator with a $118 estimate. It closed at $118.34 yesterday.
