Barstool Sports CEO Dave Portnoy gets into fierce argument with pizzeria owner: ‘*** you!’

Barstool Sports founder Davie Portnoy got into a shouting match with the owner of a pizza joint who was angered that the loudmouth mogul was giving his restaurant a negative review.

The 46-year-old Portnoy was in the middle of one of his customary pizza reviews that he offers to his legion of sports bro fans online when he was confronted by the owner of Dragon Pizza in Somerville, Mass.

In a videotaped segment that he posted for his “One Bite” series, Portnoy, who judges the food based on one bite, is seen walking out of the shop with a pie of eight slices.

Portnoy took a bite of a slice of pizza and declared: “This pizza is trash.” He gave the pizza a 6.4 out of 10 rating, declaring that the slice he ate was a “floppy mess.”

That prompted the owner of Dragon Pizza to accost Portnoy and tell him that he didn’t “appreciate what you do, coming in and judging a business in one bite.”

“**** you,” Portnoy said, calling him an “****.”

Heh, I don’t believe I have ever listened to him, but as a former devout NFL fan (pre-kneeling) I remember hearing about him.

I saw the clip on Tucker’s interview with him. It was hilarious. That store owner didn’t do himself any favors at all.

El Presidente is an admitted smut peddler. However, he built a business (Bar Stool Sports) from scratch and eventually sold it for millions. He stayed with the company and it was eventually sold again for 600 Million. Then he bought back his own company for $1. It is an incredible American Success story.
IMHO, I would say he is one of the best businessman around today.

The N.Y. Post article spelled it out minus 1 letter...the FReeper copy & paste repost had the incorrect # of asterisks...should be “a******”

Bar Stool used to be at least a third of the content girls with very little clothing.

He used to have grading the latest female teacher that had slept with her student as a regular feature.

This was before Dave sold the company and it was a Boston Sports site only.
It was pretty risky and definitely Not Safe For Work.

Kind of like FR's, "Guilty / Not Guilty," grading system?
