Dave Portnoy mocks Dan Orlovsky over Pat McAfee album praise

Dave Portnoy, founder of Barstool Sports, has criticized ESPN analyst Dan Orlovsky, calling him the ‘biggest joke’ following Orlovsky’s praise of Pat McAfee’s new country-rap album, ‘Diary of a Polarizing Figure.’

While McAfee’s musical venture has received largely negative reviews, Orlovsky drew scrutiny for tweeting that the album is ‘legit good good.’ Portnoy expressed that while McAfee is free to pursue music, Orlovsky’s non-ironic endorsement made him the primary target of ridicule in the situation.

McAfee, a former NFL punter who began his media career at Barstool Sports before moving to ESPN, has faced mixed reactions from colleagues; while some have labeled the project ‘horrible,’ others have described it as a ‘fun, energetic Country album.’
