Quotes from Dave Portnoy

Ad revenue is important, but we want to be self-sustaining.

I like seeing Roger Goodell squirm.

I'm bigger than the Beatles!

All Patriot fans despise Goodell.

Everybody hates Goodell. He unifies all Patriots fans, all New England, everybody hates him equally. He's really a hated guy.

People know I'm a Jake Paul guy. I respect people who take over the Internet, and this guy has got maybe more haters than I do, which I also love.

I always wanted to find something that I could wake up and not hate doing. Hating your job was probably my nightmare scenario.

You'd never believe how hard it is to find a wetsuit in Boston.

I'd go toe-to-toe with anybody in the Boston media over our group, 18-35 year-old guys.

I'm never going to be on ESPN, probably. I've burned too many bridges. That's fine.

I really don't turn the other cheek. So when I feel like I'm being attacked, I don't back down.

Some girls are just cut out to be housewives, drive SUVs and sing in the shower as opposed to being superstars.

I figured I should have a website, because that's what everybody was doing.

There is always a line that can't be crossed. Anything that is said or written from a place of hate will never be acceptable behavior at Barstool.

This is exactly why Barstool Sports has to exist. We're one of the few places - maybe the only place - on the Internet where we don't let agendas dictate what we do.

I feel like I see more and more Neapolitan style, that I call 'fancy pizza' - that's not my cup of tea; I think it all tastes the same.

It's strange: There are feminists who like Barstool and then feminists who hate Barstool.

We don't back down from controversy - we fan the fires. People think we go out of our way to create it, but we don't.

It's like, if you sign a guy you know is a punk and a jerk, you can't complain like, 'Hey, the punk jerk is acting like a punk jerk!'

We will not bow down to the winds of PC culture whichever way they may blow.

We have this fanatical fan base that wants to see us succeed, and so they get it. They get that to get the free content and all of the things we're doing - whether it be the blog, the podcasts, whatever - we need money. We need advertising. If you want us to go hire Michael Rapaport, well guess what, we need revenue to do that.

When have I ever said I don't want to sell out? I've been the most honest, 'I'm going to sell out right in your face' when I get the chance.
