We still don't know exactly how this partnership came together or what the source of friction is between Fox, the Big Ten, and schools like Ohio State.
"Selling out would be what lots of our talent has done to the highest bidder. These guys have stayed."
“Portnoy still owes me $1000 bucks, I know that.”
"At Michigan if you’re going to have an affair with a staffer, you better beat Ohio state and make the playoffs. That’s the Michigan standard."
"Anybody who thought I was actually calling for him to be murdered and killed so he couldn't breathe, you misread this situation and I apologize."
"That's the worst beat of all time! That is cheating! What the f**k?!?"
"You could actually listen to the television..."
Portnoy is taking a lot of credit for the ratings growth, but can we attribute these numbers solely to him? We're not so sure.
"He'd have to have some big balls to say he wants to renegotiate now."
"Good luck to all the teams involved."
"I don’t like you and I’m too old to spend time with people I don’t like."
"I respect Stephen A. And I’m glad he adhered and bent the knee and gave the apology. So, I am thankful that war is over"
"No demand from Portnoe [sic] is gonna affect me."
"It’s a badass oven."
"You call the MVP of the league a liar? Well, you owe us, me, Drake Maye, the Krafts, all Patriots fans an apology"
"Certainly with what is hanging there, we can't have him be part of what we're doing right now."
"Making jokes that you are trying to hurt people's feelings, that's never flown with us."

"I'm an absolute man!"
"This is not normal 'ha ha' with the guys,' people are coming in with real hate."
"That's Dave's worst rant of the year. That's a terrible rant, Dave."
"You just hear whispers of things he said about us and Barstool Sports that I don’t care for."
"They paid a lot of money to get results — big results from ESPN — and they weren't even close."
"Take a principled stand. Thirty-something-year-old Communist running New York City who's never had a job in his life, hates America, doesn't seem like the best."
"This is chaos for a sports fan, and it sucks for us."
"You don't know ball ... I know ball."
"This is what makes such a wild, wacky, great sport it is, is people have no rationale, no common sense."
"Now we've got a high energy crowd here."
Instead, Portnoy and 'The Barstool College Football Show' will broadcast live from Starkville as Georgia visits Mississippi State.
The book will be released on June 30, 2026.
