Late last week, the parternship between FOX and Barstool Sports was officially announced. FOX hopes that Dave Portnoy can rival ESPN and Paul Finebaum.
FOX and Barstool Sports reached an agreement late last week that will see FOX air some Barstool content, and most importantly, place Barstool founder and CEO Dave Portnoy on the Big Noon Kickoff desk as a co-host.
A lot of fans slammed the move. Fans of Barstool see it as Portnoy selling out to legacy media. Detractors of Barstool are not looking forward to seeing more of Portnoy.
