Barstool Sports founder and president Dave Portnoy took to X/Twitter to reveal what he said to Angel Reese during Saturday’s season opener between the Indiana Fever and Chicago Sky.
Dave Portnoy had a front row seat for the highly-anticipated game between Angel Reese’s Sky and Caitlin Clark’s Fever. The game itself was hardly exciting with Indiana cruising to a 93-58 blowout victory, but there was no shortage of headlines that followed.
In the third quarter of the contest, Clark picked up a flagrant foul for fouling Reese during a shot attempt. Reese went over to confront Clark, but was restrained before getting her free throw attempt.
In the clip below, Portnoy (bottom right of the screen in the red jersey with No. 22) can be seen celebrating when Reese misses her free throw:

On X, Dave Portnoy claimed that he simply screamed, “Ball don’t lie” to Reese when she missed her free throw. Portnoy also accused the WNBA of wanting to “cuff and stuff” him:
To clarify I yelled “Ball Don’t Lie” when Angel missed the tech. WNBA wants to cuff and stuff me for it. https://t.co/ooLr95bipB

The WNBA announced that they’re investigating racist and harmful language directed at Angel Reese during Saturday’s game. Reese reposted a TikTok video from a user who said she’s “no longer safe” in Indiana.
Saturday’s opener marked the first of five regular-season meetings between the Sky and the Fever. They’ll next square off in Chicago on June 7, followed up by another game in Windy City on July 27.

Portnoy is a longtime critic of Reese, and a giant Clark supporter. Portnoy went on a massive Twitter rant against Reese for taunting Clark after LSU defeated Iowa in the 2023 women’s basketball national championship game.
Dave Portnoy is also unapologetic about his vocal dislike of Reese, who had a strong season debut with 12 points, 17 rebounds and one assist.

Former Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo is not the most popular guy on TV. That much was apparent while he was calling the Wild Card game between the Broncos and Bills for CBS on Sunday.
Romo, who has done very little to hide how much he admires Buffalo QB Josh Allen, had some praise for the MVP favorite while he was attempting to take his team to the Divisional Round.
Some fans felt like he was being overly gracious, while some simply couldn’t stand him talking in general.
“STFU AGAIN ROMO!!!!!!!!! I’M TIRED OF YOUR BILLS AND CHIEFS GLAZING!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU’RE SICKENING ASF!!!!!!!!!!” an X user wrote.
“Can we start a petition to ban Romo from calling games,” another asked.
“Can Tony Romo get off his kneees for Josh Allen?” someone else chimed in.
“Tv muted when romo starts talking,” a fan claimed.
Tony Romo’s Partner Reached Impressive Milestone
While Romo was getting slammed, his broadcast colleague touched an impressive milestone.
Jim Nantz has been with CBS for over 40 years and reached his 500th game with the network calling Sunday’s fixture.
Nantz and Romo have been working together for seven of those 40 years.

Las Vegas Aces star A’ja Wilson has emerged as one of the most prominent figures in women’s basketball. Her outstanding achievements and dominant performances on the court have boosted her confidence in her skills. However, this confidence has recently caused her some trouble, as NBA fans criticized her for a recent statement she made.
In a recent episode of the “Roommates” show, Wilson stunned both the NBA and WNBA by claiming that she could defeat New York Knicks star Josh Hart in a one-on-one matchup. Additionally, she predicted that the final score would be 11-8.
“Score would be 11-8, me. I’m not saying you gonna go scoreless, 8 to 11 is pretty solid. So, what do you think it’ll be, Josh?” Wilson said.
Although Josh and Wilson both had a good laugh during their conversation, Wilson’s comment stirred up the basketball community. “She’d lose 11-0 w him only playing w his offhand,” one fan said.
