The Dave Portnoy experiment with FOX Sports might get grounded before it can take off.<\/p>\n
During the network’s latest episode of Big Noon Kickoff on Saturday morning, the Barstool host didn’t waste an opportunity to take a shot at Ryan Day and Ohio State, but then pivoted into a rant about lightning delays.<\/p>\n

Portnoy aired out his frustration about games taking over four hours due to weather.<\/p>\n
“I am sick of lightning delays in college football,” Portnoy said. “I don’t remember growing up, you have four or five games that have four hour delays. Everybody going in, sign a waiver. If you get struck by lightning, so be it. But when they do the delay, the fans have to leave the stadium anyway. So what if they get struck outside?Let’s play football. Man football weather midwest.You sign it. Lightning, If it hits you, it’s just not your day.”<\/p>\n
Portnoy’s colleague Brady Quinn immediately responded by saying, “I think Dave should get struck by lightning first before he starts talking about it.” Rob Stone immediately shut it down by saying, “We’re not asking for that.”<\/p>\n

FOX added Portnoy and his Barstool team before the start of the\u00a0season. A move that hasn’t been a good look for the network after consistent weeks of blunders. However, this one might take the cake and make the decision makers at FOX rethink their decision or correct Portnoy’s actions.<\/p>\n
