Dave Portnoy trolls football fans by saying he would be a great offensive play-caller

The partnership between Barstool Sports and Fox Sports came as somewhat of a surprise. Fox Sports announced that Barstool Sports owner Dave Portnoy would join the "Big Noon Kickoff" crew, and fans got their first taste of that this past Saturday.

On Tuesday, "Wake Up Barstool" debuted on FS1. The show is the typical sports talk setup, where the crew talks about the biggest headlines in sports.

It didn't take long for Portnoy to begin trolling when he stated he could be one of the best offensive minds in the game if he were calling plays.

"I love football. I think I'd be one of the great offensive minds in the history of the game. I honestly think play-calling, I'm smarter than 99% of the play-callers," said Portnoy.

I have a hard time believing that there are people out there who don't believe he is trolling. However, maybe it would be fun to allow Portnoy to get a playcall in.

Seriously, what would hurt to allow that in a game like we saw on Monday night between TCU and North Carolina? Imagine the play actually works? I would never let anyone hear the end of it.

New idea for the future of college sports. Let people bid on calling a play, and all the money goes to the said teams' NIL fund. I'm clearly a genius.
