So who are the top defensive and offensive linemen in this draft as we look now towards a high pick?

Good on Caleb for calling him out. Portnoy is soft as s%*#. His book is "Cancel Me If You Can", but he'll be the first person to "cancel" somebody if they say something he doesn't like.

To be fair, that wasn’t the full story. The kid was also shouting antisemitic comments at Portnoy. Sure, freedom of speech and all that but I don’t think that’s the same as simply calling a player soft. Portnoy didn’t go after Caleb’s race or ethnicity.

Also, let’s be honest — if Jordan Love acted the same way after the same injury, Bears fans would be calling him soft in the exact same way that Caleb is getting it right now.

I think the crux of this is, who the f*** is Portnoy to say anything about an elite NFL athlete when the dude himself is a wet noodle.

Well, I guess this entire site and other sites like it are a sham if sports fans can’t critique players of any sport, because that’s what happens at these fan sites.

No, that's just everyone who wants to associate him as effeminate/gay/trans for doing his nails, and thereby deciding him as soft. I promise you that Caleb has heard it all, as I have already read it all. And it isn't JUST this situation. Everytime he, or his products, gets the last bit of criticism, he gets his troll army to go after whoever dares speak out against him. He IS soft. I don't see Caleb out there encouraging his people to go after Portnoy or anyone else. He has more important things to do than make his name at the expense of others.

Caleb has more important things to do yet he spent time reposting the old Portnoy story above? Isn’t that going after Portnoy as well?

Way different from bros on fan site talking s%*# versus on going on sports talk show and running your mouth. Portnoy is going to run into the wrong one one day and get laid the f*** out accordingly.

Perhaps, but doubtful. He has $250 million to sue the guy that lays him out.

It wouldn't shock me if he ends up in an ending of his own making.

He has already sunk to an extreme low. Who really likes the guy anymore? He is picking fights with everyone these days too (non-sports related to boot). A very insecure loser.

He would probably die. Remember, wet noodle. =)

That’s his schtick and part of the reason he has $250 million. It gets clicks/views.

A lot has gone awry since Portnoy unceremoniously dumped his Colombian gf-fiancee because he suddenly realized he had no interest in marrying or having kids with her.

She was the steading influence.

Most still know him as the pizza review guy.

But now everything is either politics/religion or related to defending Caitlin Clark from various attacks.

Barstool made its money from frat bro culture and pizza reviews. The stuff he does now is brand damaging (picking fights with politicians and athletes over benign ass s%*#). I would imagine his cash flow is not as robust now as it was back in the day. His schtick is stale and nobody likes that s%*# anymore.

That is what I was referring to but it's off topic for the NFL thread so I avoided it, thanks caulfield.

I hope that poor girl didn’t quit her day job as an Instagram model/influencer and wasn’t absolutely shocked when she was dumped by the super rich dude 18 years her senior as he moved on to an even younger woman. 🤣

I’m going to guess she wasn’t all that important to be a “steadying influence”.

Great, he's Leo Dicaprio mixed with Belichick.

Guy makes it big and shockingly more ordinary first wife is suddenly out of the picture.

Every time I see Portnoy's name pop up I watch that video of him running and laugh my ass off.

He had to be running hurt... that is the only conclusion...

There's older footage of him too. That's just how he runs.

He was running on a pulled hamstring in this video. He’s an old fart at almost 50, not exactly an athlete. What do you expect?

https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1BuBwUrfk7/?mibextid=wwXIfr

The fact that you can’t tell the difference in how he is running in the two separate videos you posted is crazy. He is clearly limping in this video and favoring one leg over the other.

Thanks for the context, Dave Portnoy.

No need to get snippy because you can’t see a dude that is clearly hobbled while running. I’m definitely not saying he’s a speed demon in the older video but there is obviously a difference with his gait in the two videos you posted.

Dave Portnoy isn’t worth the time you guys are devoting to him.
