"Love him or hate him, the Barstool Sports ecosystem is spreading everywhere."

"You're the commissioner of the WNBA. What do you mean your PR people won't let you go on? It's your decision. You're their boss. So that's a total lie, total cop out."

"The establishment has changed. When one of the largest and most influential voices in sports reaches millions where modern audiences actually consume content, it isn't operating outside the mainstream anymore."

"Why do I want to ruin my life and get involved in this mess because I know what comes with it, but sometimes I do feel like it's my duty. I can't turn away. I feel like I could make a change."

"We’re always looking to give something to the audience where they feel more a part of it. There’s been small changes here and there that I think have been awesome for the audience and the tier one fans that have been with us since day one. It’s about creating a higher sense of community with Bussin' With The Boys."

"Thank you for your Super Bowls — you’re just a guy. Go play your flag football game and go be in a million different ads. I don’t need you in my life anymore, and you don’t need us."

"My first success metric is am I proud of what we just did? That’s something that can bounce from day to day, but the goal is to have fun and a good time."

"If a ban ever existed, it didn’t matter. If it never existed, it mattered even less. The narrative still drove attention, fueled conversation, and reinforced Barstool’s ability to thrive without permission, credentials, or traditional access."

"An NFL spokesperson confirmed to Front Office Sports that Portnoy is permitted to purchase a ticket for the game that features the New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks."

"There’s a guy on the other network, he looks like he’s on drugs or something when he’s calling games."
