Heh Heh

From the one and only Mike Ganis:

“Two For the Money” opened in theaters last Friday. They say, as they say about a lot of movies, that it’s based on a true story. Which, of course, means that nearly all of it is made up. Sorry to bust your balloon about movies, but if you believed otherwise, well, you were believing wrong. Anyway, according to my Hollywood source, this story was sold to the studio by a man called Stu Feiner, who gets credit for getting it through the machine and getting big-name talent to play the roles.

Stu Feiner has been around the block a few times in the sports picks business. Here are some opinions:

Frank Rosenthal: “You may enjoy calling him toll free, but be sure to fasten your safety belt, and place all your cash and valuables in a safety box. After that, I would urge you call Wells Fargo and hire an armed guard to protect the box.”

Tom Somach, rgtonline.com: “Stu Feiner is the biggest scamdicapper around. He has been fined by the New York City Department of Consumer Affairs for deceptive advertising practices, according to the New York Post. He also has the distinction of having run the most annoying scamdicapper commercials ever seen on television: his shouting about his touting made one want to shoot the TV screen.”

Forum talk: “Ahhh Stu Feiner....Too funny...My friends and I would call his 800 number and as a joke give him the number of our buddy, so one of those Feiner idiots would call him and harass him non-stop...The only way to get them to stop calling was to change your number!…How many squares has this chump buried?”

Forum talk: "When I get spam for refinances and other garbage I fill out the form as follows:

Name: Stu Feiner.
Address-584 W. 86th St. New York, NY 10024 (would actually be in the
Hudson River)
Type - condo
Value - over one million.
Amount owed - $50,000
Credit-poor
Tel-800-676-7716

The broker will call Stu. The bimbo posing as the answering service will take the number. A tout will call back over and over and pass the number on to other touts. Nothing better then scumbags calling each other. After almost two years of a torrent of calls from Stu and friends I have no qualms about returning the favor."
