“Van Talk” ended abruptly due in part to previous comments made by Katz and Barstool founder Dave Portnoy about then-ESPNer Sam Ponder, and former-ESPN president John Skipper later said that the network wasn’t able to distance itself from the Barstool brand as much as it wanted.

On Friday, news broke that Michigan graduate and Wolverines homer Dave Portnoy was added to the ‘Big Noon Kickoff’ show on FOX with a Barstool Sports college football show also in the planning stages. The news brought a wide cross-section of groans from Buckeyes fans as they attempted to wrestle with the Portnoy news.
