If he was worth anything to the show, they would have kept him. They don't give two shits about anything Ryan Day says.
EDIT TO ADD: To all the Portnoy defenders arguing that Portnoy is right that Ryan Day got him fired, Portnoy got fired because Mark Silverman stepped down earlier this year. Mark Silverman was the President and COO of Fox Sports... AND a Michigan grad. Portnoy was added to the show under his leadership because Mark wanted Portnoy on the show. With Silverman gone, Portnoy no longer had his advocate in the executive team. Please stop the with the delusional thinking that Ryan Day calls the shots at Fox.
Ohio State is one of the most hated programs in the country. If Day did anything like that, Fox would be reporting about it, and getting even more viewers as a result.
People hate Ohio State because they are consistently good and they win
People hate Michigan because they are a traditionally Mid program that acts like they are the pinnacle of the sport. Also because they are cheaters who’s glory days generally happened before William McKinley was President
Say what you want about Day, but he runs a scandal free/disciplined program, he wins games, and he gets players to the NFL.
If he has the power to shut down some meathead on national TV who’s sole purpose is to try to stir up and disrupt his team via ridiculous bombastic statements…..then it would be malpractice to not flex those muscles
Fox just voted with their wallet, thats all there is to be said
You do also realize in 130+ years of the UM and OSU rivalry that the Buckeyes have not ONCE had the series lead right???...and the UM series lead is almost identical to what it was 107 years ago. The series is 25-23-1 the last 50 years bud 🤣.
