Mr. PortnoyNPR's pledge drives are a form of extortion
One of the big things now is if you'll give a donation, we will stop soliciting money. It's extortion. In other words, they're on there with some kind of meaningless promotion... and their attitude is, you want us to stop, right? Give us some money.

PFT CommenterI love Marcus Smart as much as I love JaVale McGee and Draymond Green
I am starting to love [Marcus Smart] on the same level that I love JaVale and Draymond. The box-out that he had last night... that was perfect crazy basketball.
Big CatFans will get sick of the Cavaliers-Warriors NBA Finals preview within a week
We are all going to get so fucking sick of the Cavs-Warriors preview, because it's already starting. They're already previewing Cavs-Warriors, and then if both sides sweep... I think it's like seven days before the NBA Finals start. That's a shitload of previews.
Big CatI am officially off Greg Popovich because of how he treats the media
I'm off of him. I'm off of Pop. No, but it's picking up a little steam. Greg Popovich just being a dickhead to people while everyone says, wow, Pop tells it like it is. He's so funny.

When I see them up there, those products are fraud... I mean, they wouldn't be advertising there if they weren't a fraud. I have an occasional check with the FTC site and the Better Business Bureau to see various of these companies have all sorts of consumer complaints against them. And what a shock!
Mr. PortnoyIf a commercial starts by saying 'this is not a scam,' it's probably a scam
When they started with the reverse mortgages... the ad started with a sentence: 'This is not a scam.' I mean, that was the furthest thing from my mind until he put it in my head that this might be a scam. Why are they saying it's legit? It never occurred to me that it's not, but now I'm going to start to investigate it.
Mr. PortnoyThe New York Times was desperate for Alex Cooper to say something negative about Barstool Sports
It was obvious to me... that the New York Times was salivating to get [Alex Cooper] to say something that would be damaging to Barstool. And she didn't. They couldn't resist getting [the sidebar about Dave Portnoy] in there.
