For nearly two decades Dave Portnoy made his life and his company, Barstool Sports, into an online reality show of sorts \u2014\u00a0oversharing everything from office friction to his own dating life.<\/p>\n

Now he\u2019s written a memoir. With so much already out there, why go through the trouble?<\/p>\n

\u201cEgo,\u201d Portnoy humbly told me. \u201cThe thought of walking into an airport and seeing this book in all the bookshops really appealed to me.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n
\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The Barstool honcho was tempted by the possibility that his book, \u201cCancel Me If You Can,\u201d out Tuesday, could potentially become the next \u201cPrivate Parts\u201d by Howard Stern,\u00a0complete with a movie version.<\/p>\n

So who would play him? <\/p>\n

\u201cBradley Cooper. I like to say that I\u2019m a poor man\u2019s Bradley Cooper,\u201d said the 49-year-old.<\/p>\n

The book traces Portnoy\u2019s meteoric rise from the owner of a free newspaper in Boston to a cultural lightning rod \u2014\u00a0with millions in the bank, an army of devoted \u201cStoolies\u201d and a prominent role on Fox\u2019s \u201cBig Noon Kickoff.\u201d Along the way, he sold his company for $551 million and, in 2023, bought it back for $1.<\/p>\n

If Cooper is to play the media mogul, he better strengthen his jawbone.<\/p>\n

The self-proclaimed \u201cDon King of internet fights\u201d made his name by unapologetically instigating feuds against powerful people and the media establishment.<\/p>\n

In the book, he details the depths of his grudge against NFL commissioner Roger Goodell \u2014\u00a0and reveals he would willingly break bread with his longtime nemesis.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf I had dinner with Goodell, which I tried to, we would probably have squashed [our beef],\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

But he also keeps a permanent enemies list that includes Business Insider and former \u201cCall her Daddy\u201d co-host Sofia Franklyn \u2014\u00a0whom he accuses of orchestrating a 2021 story with the publication that alleged sexual misconduct against him. It\u2019s a period he calls \u201cthe lowest of my life.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s sports hate and there\u2019s you f\u2013ked with my life type of hate,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\n
\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

But Portnoy believes followers will be most shocked by the depths of the frayed relations between him and two of Barstool\u2019s biggest stars, Dan \u201cBig Cat\u201d Katz and Eric \u201cPFT Commenter\u201d Sollenberger, co-hosts of the wildly popularpodcast \u201cPardon My Take.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s been hints about the back and forth with \u2018Pardon My Take,\u2019 but I don\u2019t think people knew how tense and bad that relationship was at one point,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Before the Massachusetts native could even dream of such a wacky universe, he was a 20-something burned out from a tech sales job and itching to start a business. A gambler, he cooked up the idea of printing a newspaper about betting.<\/p>\n

Portnoy explained that, as \u201cPMT grew more popular\u201d a decade or so ago, the hosts started to pull away from the mothership. <\/strong>He felt like they became competition. Thanks to demands from the pair\u2019s agent and a growing gulf between their sensibilities \u2014 their more friendly approach vs Portnoy\u2019s unfiltered nature \u2014 a schism was bubbling.<\/p>\n

\n
\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Katz and Sollenberger signed with ESPN to do \u201cBarstool Van Talk,\u201d a TV version of their podcast. <\/p>\n

It aired Oct. 17, 2017. ESPN canceled it six days later after an internal revolt from network employees \u2014 including Sam Ponder, an ESPN personality at the time, who had publicly fought with Portnoy over old comments she deemed misogynistic. (They have since hashed it out at a Manhattan restaurant, and Portnoy said she gained his respect for approaching him in person.)<\/p>\n

The show may have fizzled, but the hosts and Portnoy\u2019s fraught relationship was smoothed over, he writes, by \u201can enemy who would unintentionally bestow the greatest gift possible to us: unity. Thank you, ESPN.\u201d<\/p>\n

Pulling the plug \u201crealigned the Barstool Universe. Dan came to the painful realization that for as much as he may have wanted to distance \u2018PMT\u2019 from the perceived stink of Barstool, it was impossible,\u201d Portnoy writes.<\/p>\n

With $30,000 he saved from his job and a $20,000 loan from his father, he quit his sales gig, cold-called advertisers, and, to distribute the paper himself, bought a $1,800 Chevy Astrovan from a Mormon family eager to sell before they left on a mission.<\/p>\n

The first edition read: \u201cWelcome to the world of Barstool Sports, the only newspaper in Boston written by the common man for the common man.\u201d<\/p>\n

Portnoy enlisted three writers to work for free, churning out humorous bro-centric articles and building a local fanbase. A few years later, he ditched print for a blog format, posting irreverent, sometimes outrageous observations about sports and ridiculous news stories.<\/p>\n

The timing was excellent. Boston\u2019s pro teams, which had limped along in loserville for decades, were suddenly ascendant \u2014 in all sports. Beantown became Titletown, and Barstool Sports was its unconditional cheerleader and protector. At the same time, Portnoy expanded, hiring writers in Chicago, New York and Philadelphia.<\/p>\n

In 2015, after Patriots quarterback Tom Brady was handed a four-game suspension by the NFL for \u201cDeflategate,\u201d Portnoy and three colleagues traveled to the NFL office in Manhattan, asking to speak with Goodell. When they were turned away, they handcuffed themselves to each other and sat on the lobby floor.<\/p>\n

The handcuffs were prescient. They were promptly arrested, spending 24 hours in jail before making bail.<\/p>\n

The incident gave Barstool a public enemy number-one in the league commissioner. That fall, at the Patriots\u2019 kickoff game, Portnoy exacted his revenge by distributing 70,000 towels with the image of Goodell as a red-nosed clown \u2014\u00a0a most unwelcome sight for the NFL honcho as he entered Gillette Stadium.<\/p>\n

\u201cI came to learn the Patriots appreciated what we did,\u201d Portnoy writes.<\/p>\n

As a result, El Presidente, as he was known, achieved infamy. He was banned from NFL events for nearly 10 years. In 2020, he bid $250,000 to watch \u201cMonday Night Football\u201d with Goodell; two days later, the league returned Portnoy\u2019s money after an \u201cextensive background check.\u201d<\/p>\n

Such stunts helped raise Barstool\u2019s profile and appeal, which Portnoy said was built on the staff being a ragtag group of everymen and women. (As CEO, he hired Erika Ayers Badan.)<\/p>\n

He brought the audience along for the ride, and they rewarded him with fealty.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re the underdog versus the establishment. So whether that\u2019s Barstool versus Goodell, Barstool versus the woke, we didn\u2019t really shift or bend. And we didn\u2019t have to. We just stayed true to ourselves,\u201d he told me.<\/p>\n

His oft-repeated motto, \u201cbrick by brick,\u201d refers to their fortitude that\u2019s part of the company\u2019s unique DNA. Barstool mobilized its audience to raise money for fallen cops, the victims of the Boston Marathon bombing and, eventually, small businesses during COVID lockdowns.<\/p>\n

\u201c[Critics] thought they were blowing down a house made of straw,\u201d Portnoy said, \u201cbut it wasn\u2019t built that way.\u201d<\/p>\n

Indeed, Portnoy and, by extension, Barstool have evaded numerous attempts at cancellation. But in 2021, in the midst of the frenzied #MeToo era, Business Insider dropped a bombshell \u2014 printing accounts from two young women who accused him of violent sex.<\/p>\n

Portnoy held a \u201cpress conference\u201d vehemently denying the allegations, saying any relations were consensual.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was as low as I\u2019ve been in my life. I did not have the stomach for it,\u201d Portnoy said, calling it a \u201cdishonest hit piece\u201d filled with \u201coutright lies and contradictions.\u201d<\/p>\n

A Business Insider spokesperson said in a statement: \u201cWe continue to stand by our reporting. Dave Portnoy sued Business Insider in federal court over these articles and lost.\u201d<\/p>\n

Portnoy blames Franklyn and another former employee who worked on her podcast, alleging in his book that the former \u201cCall Her Daddy\u201d co-host solicited tales on Instagram from women who had hooked up with him. Portnoy points to a podcast episode of \u201cChisme With DoKnow,\u201d where his \u201cstar accuser\u201d tells the host that she was dating a former Barstool employee who introduced her to the Business Insider reporter.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Franklyn left Barstool, then the home of \u201cCall Her Daddy\u201d amidst a contract dispute and fallout with her co-host, Alex Cooper.<\/p>\n

The Post has reached out to Franklyn. <\/p>\n

He offered to go on the record with Business Insider, he writes, when the site gave him one day to respond to a \u201cgigantic list of questions.\u201d He unsuccessfully sued for defamation, but said he has no regrets: \u201cI don\u2019t know what else I could have done.\u201d<\/p>\n

After all, Portnoy is a fighter. It\u2019s a trait he shares with President Trump, whom he interviewed at the White House in 2020 \u2014\u00a0even though Barstool was built as an escape from politics.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis was the president of the United States summoning me to the Oval Office. I couldn\u2019t say no,\u201d he writes. At times, he has felt a kinship with Trump.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think he\u2019s very mean if you\u2019re mean to him. I definitely share that. Like, come at me with a feather, I hit you with a hammer,\u201d he said. \u201cI have been accused of things in my life that I absolutely know are false, untrue and repeated over and over.\u201d<\/p>\n

Portnoy has voted for Trump and notes that our presidenthas a \u201cright\u201d to hate the media. But he thinks the country needs a more unifying leader.<\/p>\n

So would he jump into the political arena?<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve thought about it,\u201d he said, acknowledging that every last negative thing about him would be dredged up. \u201cI go back and forth.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

Portnoy, an avowed capitalist who says he\u2019s living the American dream and splits his time between the Florida Keys, Saratoga, NY, and Nantucket, Mass., has no love for Zohran Mamdani or the socialist surge overtaking blue cities like New York.<\/p>\n

If Portnoy\u2019s public persona has been underpinned by conflict, his personal life has been defined by loyalty.<\/p>\n

Atop his frustrations with media coverage of him is his assertion that no has ever reached out to the woman who knows him best: his ex-wife, Renee Portnoy. The pair met in the early days of Barstool when she was hired as a promotional model to hand out the newspaper. They divorced in 2017 on good terms \u2014\u00a0but she still has access to his bank account, because he credits her with helping him build his empire.<\/p>\n

He doesn\u2019t foresee them getting back together, though, noting they\u2019re both in \u201chappy relationships. I think we\u2019ll be lifelong friends.\u201d<\/p>\n

Pushing 50, Portnoy marvels at his journey. \u201cI\u2019ve been doing Barstool basically half my life, which is crazy.\u201d<\/p>\n

His next big move? Portnoy claims he could completely disappear. But not anytime soon. He might have a movie premiere to attend with Bradley Cooper.<\/p>\n
