Dave Portnoy ‘quitting’ football after ref controversy costs him $1M Bills Super Bowl bet

Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy was fed up with the referees and ready to quit football on a night where his $1 million Bills bet backfired.

After the Bills were stopped short on a fourth-and-1 call early in the fourth quarter of their AFC Championship game loss to the Chiefs, Portnoy posted a 52-second video to X where he ranted about the spot after Buffalo’s third-down completion, the spot on fourth down, the referees determining everything and how “I quit football.”

“This is the most disgusting thing,” Portnoy said. “I’m not watching football ever again. I quit football. I quit.”
