If you’re an avid fan of Barstool Sports or their president, Dave Portnoy, you’re probably well-aware of his ongoing beef with Roger Goodell.

Dating back to the “Deflategate” days, Portnoy has had a vendetta against Goodell. And during the last Patriots Super Bowl, security was seen dragging the president out of the event.

Still, Roger Goodell plays coy when asked about Dave Portnoy, even if it’s by a member of congress.

During a hearing on Tuesday, congressman Jim Jordan asked Goodell point blank about Portnoy’s ban, and the commissioner claimed he was “not familiar” with the issue.

Of course, Dave Portnoy has since call out Roger Goodell as a ‘liar’.

Dave Portnoy even released a whole statement on Roger Goodell’s comments

While Dave Portnoy is going to continue to take his fight right to Roger Goodell, the commissioner simply is going to play dumb.

Don’t expect any of this to go away overnight.
