The NFL and Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy have found unexpected common ground after years of animosity, highlighted by Portnoy presenting the Patriots’ 2025 schedule in a video shortly after the anniversary of his 2013 arrest for protesting the league. This event marks a shift from Portnoy’s previous ban from NFL events, which included a notorious T-shirt mocking Commissioner Roger Goodell and his ejection from Super Bowl LIII. The NFL has not commented on this recent collaboration, suggesting a potential retreat from its longstanding ban on Barstool.
