Dave Portnoy slams ‘worst call of all time’ after watching the Commanders secure last-gasp playoff win

Dave Portnoy slams 'worst call of all time' after watching the Commanders secure last-gasp playoff win

The Commanders narrowly beat the Buccaneers in their Wild Card matchup on Sunday night – and Barstool boss Dave Portnoy did not believe Washington’s team broadcast lived up to the moment.

Kicker Zane Gonzalez converted a 37-yard field goal as time expired to give the visitors the win, though it was far from straightforward as his kick struck the inside of the upright before going in.

Commanders’ announcers Bram Weinstein and London Fletcher did not mention that fact as they giddily reacted to the win, and Portnoy ripped them as a result.

‘Is this the worst big game call ever.?’ he said on X in response to a clip of the call. ‘They made it sound like Zane smashed it ᴅᴇᴀᴅ center. Didn’t even mention the doink. F minus call.’

To Portnoy’s point, color man Weinstein merely declared that the kick was ‘good’ before commenting on the team’s composure in close games.

‘The cardiac Commanders are the clutch Commanders. They do it again, we’ll see you in Detroit,’ he said.

Fletcher, who enjoyed a long NFL career at linebacker and played seven years with Washington, also chimed in but did not mention how the kick actually made its way in.  

‘Zane Gonzalez kicks in the door and kicks us to the second round of the playoffs!,’ he said.

Meanwhile, Mike Tirico made sure to mention the ‘doink’ off the upright in his call of the game on NBC.

‘They doink their way to the divisional round!,’ he exclaimed, after Cris Collinsworth could be heard laughing at the freaky play. 

The Commanders will travel to Detroit this weekend to face the No. 1 seed Lions on Saturday.

Weinstein and Fletcher’s call of Gonzalez’s game winner was not the only thing that set off Portnoy during the NFL’s Wild Card weekend.

Justin Herbert and the Chargers suffered a 32-12 loss to the Texans, and the quarterback had his worst game of the season as he completed just 43.8 percent of his pᴀsses and threw four interceptions. He had only thrown three picks the entire regular season. 

‘I am so sick of Justin Herbert, people sucking his d***,’ he said in a video posted to X. ‘Making it sound like this kid is a young gun quarterback.’

‘Go back at anything I said, he sucks. I don’t care what tools he has. What is the infatuation with this f***ing guy? He sucked at Oregon, the team got worse,’ he continued.

‘He was supposed to be the No 1 draft pick [and] fell because people watched him and [said], ‘Hey, this guy may f***ing suck.’

Houston will now face the Chiefs on Saturday at 4:30pm ET.
