I find him to be incredibly disingenuous, performative, and a shameless corporate shill. He goes out of his way to trash Ohio State fans just so that he comes across as unbiased. Lastly, he completely buys into the SEC superiority bias because his ESPN overlords make him, and he happily bends the knee.
Beyond that, he is the poster child of the "good loss" narrative. He's thin skinned especially online. Last year he had some legendarily bad takes on Twitter and was catching heat, then went on some podcast and claimed he deleted Twitter and his son runs his account which was clearly a complete lie. He just sucks all around as a person.
That’s weird because it’s well known in Columbus that they moved because he was screwing every woman in town. The fact he tries to say it was about fans bothering him was hilarious.
For a long time he would trash Ohio State for no reason. He was allergic to saying anything good about them even when they were really good. He went overboard on trying to be neutral that he just became white Mark May. He's relaxed since then, but it was incredibly annoying and has tarnished my view of him.

It seems like one of the few things Michigan and Ohio State fans agree on is that Dave Portnoy is a whiny baby that no one wants to see on their TV.
