Barstool Sports “El Prez” Dave Portnoy says he is suing the Cincinnati Bengals and the NFL because he lost a $120,000 bet after the team allegedly neglected to inform sports fans that QB Joe Burrow had an injury that could have — and eventually did — cause him to exit Thursday’s game early.
Portnoy says he lost the chuck of change after he placed the bet on the Bengals to cover as four-point underdogs during their game Thursday against the Baltimore Ravens.
The online sports commentator is furious that – he claims – the Bengals appeared to know ahead of time that Burrow had a possible game-ending injury but did not disclose it before the team went on to lose to the Ravens 34-20.
