BOSTON (CBS) – David Portnoy from Barstool Sports continues to defend the wall and maintain the innocence of the Patriots in the National Football League’s DeflateGate scandal.
El Pres, who appeared in studio with 98.5 The Sports Hub’s Felger & Massarotti for a full hour on Friday afternoon, called the show live from NFL headquarters in New York, where he and his minions are protesting the league and demanding a meet-and-greet with commissioner Roger Goodell.
Listen below:
Portnoy and three other Barstool employees staged a sit-in inside 345 Park Ave in Manhattan, and even paraded around the outside of the building with pro-Patriots signs.
Some shots from the protest:

Jets fan arresting Dave Portnoy. Cant script it, folks. Cant script it.
