"We’ve built a community that talks about sports the way fans actually do, and now we get to do it every morning on national television. It’s Barstool, unfiltered, the way it’s meant to be"

"It seems all of this would be orchestrated in order to create noise and controversy, and I believe Portnoy and Barstool will be good about attracting attention, particularly of young people, to rival Lee Corso's departure on ESPN"

"I don’t know how much validity there is to whether or not he was actually banned, or if this is all just made for TV"

"They [Ohio State] also banned the Barstool Sports College Football Show. We were supposed to be in Columbus"

"Just know what you get when you watch Barstool. That's what it is. They're all lying to you"

"Ohio State did not issue a ban on Dave Portnoy, AD Ross Bjork tells Yahoo Sports"

"If the FS1 program is destined to be a success, it must play by a different set of rules. It must adapt to the changing landscape while also keeping its authentic Barstool Sports feel"

"I came in with what I consider to be ESPN’s A-team who had fantastic chemistry. I never wanted to disrupt their chemistry"

"Bringing in a guy who is a kind of a lightning rod in Dave Portnoy, and is an opinionated, authentic guy, I think it’s going to be good for the show"

"It appears to me, by the media coverage, people think I am the center of attention. I don't think that's how it's going. I don't know how we're being used yet"
