Dave Portnoy, the founder of Barstool Sports, has revealed that a potential dinner with NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell could have brought an end to their long-standing feud.

This insight comes from Portnoy's new memoir, "Cancel Me If You Can," which is scheduled for release on Tuesday.

The revelation offers a glimpse into the personal dynamics behind one of the more public rivalries in sports media, suggesting that a simple conversation might have diffused years of animosity.

Portnoy, known for his unfiltered approach and the creation of Barstool Sports, shared that he attempted to have dinner with Goodell, believing it would have helped them "squash" their beef.

The memoir delves into various aspects of his career and personal life, including his rise from a free newspaper owner to a prominent media figure.

He also expresses a desire for Bradley Cooper to portray him if his book were ever adapted into a film.

The book further explores the complexities of Portnoy's relationships within Barstool Sports, particularly highlighting the previously strained ties with Dan "Big Cat" Katz and Eric "PFT Commenter" Sollenberger, co-hosts of the popular podcast "Pardon My Take." Portnoy notes that while hints of their friction existed, the extent of the tension was largely unknown to the public.

He attributes this strain to the growing popularity of "Pardon My Take" and a perceived distancing from the Barstool brand, exacerbated by agent demands and differing sensibilities.

Their relationship reportedly smoothed over after ESPN canceled "Barstool Van Talk," a TV adaptation of their podcast, just six days after its premiere in 2017.

Portnoy writes that this event "realigned the Barstool Universe," forcing the "Pardon My Take" hosts to realize the inseparable nature of their show from the Barstool identity.

The memoir also touches upon other significant events in Portnoy's career, including his arrest during a protest against Tom Brady's "Deflategate" suspension and his ongoing "enemies list" that includes Business Insider and former "Call Her Daddy" co-host Sofia Franklyn.
