Barstool Sports’ Portnoy on NFL Relenting: Goodell Rolled over, We’re Petting His Belly

RUSH EXCERPT:

CARLSON: "Last week we had Dave Portman on bar stool sports stool a t-shirt he came up. At the time the girding for a lawsuit. But they have thankfully backed down in the powerful face of Dave who joins to us celebrate his victory against the mega lift the NFL. How did you win? How did you beat the NFL? Nobody does that."
PORTNOY: "I don’t really know. I found out as I was walking out of the office, I think, Thursday that they submitted. I would use the analogy we said either pick up a sword and fight or roll over and let us pet your belly like auto dog and Goodell rolled over and we are petting his belly, legs going. I don’t have the recipe but they rolled over so it’s great."
CARLSON: "Basically they are afraid of the power that you we would as the head of sports."
PORTNOY: "I think said we didn’t have a trademark we did. They got called on and they rolled over."
CARLSON: "Good for you. Good to see justice prevail. The NFL is in a tough spot. Lost a ton of viewers and I think they are worried it’s fair to say. You follow this for a living, why do you think that is? What’s the core problem in the NFL?"
PORTNOY: "Well, I think it’s a combination of things mostly I think there is more competition. There are so many different ways to view different whether it be sports, entertainment channels the Internet. They have got to fight for eyeballs and they are not doing a great job with it. He has lost touch, Goodell has, with the general people. All those facts coming together. Competition number one. Places like us that they can consume content a million different ways it’s hard to keep attention spans."
