The company has already acquired the naming and broadcast rights to the Arizona Bowl, which will air on Barstool’s website.

And, on Thursday, the same day after it was announced that Penn Gaming/Barstool had acquired theScore for $2 billion (side note: theScore app is by far the single best app for scores if you’re a degenerate gambler), the company’s founder Dave Portnoy dropped quite a bombshell.

According to Portnoy, Barstool is in talks with one of the four major sports to air games.

I think we can throw out the NFL... feels like MLB is the most likely with so many games.

Cool. Just what we need. More sports airing on shitty subscription only apps instead of legitimate TV networks that you don't have to worry about the feed crashing b/c too many people turned the channel on to watch the game.

NHL isn't as splashy... but could be.

MLB already does games on YouTube.

Feel like he's just channeling Elon Musk energy here to spike Penn's stock price before he sells a bushel of shares in order to buy his new Manhattan condo with a private rooftop balcony.

Portnoy gets so much pussy it's not even funny. Dude should be a hero to all of us.

I think it will be NHL as well. The constant action and fights that occur will give Barstool commentators much more material to speak on. Wouldn't be surprised if Bob Menery finds himself a role there as well.

Hopefully it’s the MLB. And hopefully they let Frank on the Mets broadcasts.

If it’s not that, it has to be the NHL. Out of all sports, the Whitney and Biz combo makes their hockey coverage elite in terms of knowledge combined with humor.

“Four major sports” is a huge sign that it’s hockey

Dave Portnoy being the head of a game-changing corporation is insane to me.
