Dave Portnoy pushes back against Pat McAfee’s claims years after ESPNer’s tense Barstool exit

Before Pat McAfee was a media superstar, he was a Barstool Sports personality with a chip on his shoulder at Dave Portnoy’s outlet. McAfee inked with Portnoy’s Barstool immediately after early retirement from the NFL in 2017, and roughly 18 months later, things had soured and McAfee departed after “feeling disrespected,” though Portnoy is calling this whole situation overblown by the now-ESPN star. In an interview with Front Office Sports’ Ryan Glasspiegel, Portnoy called McAfee out nearly eight years later for allegedly taking liberties with the latter’s version of events.
