Dave Portnoy accuses Caleb Williams of 'spreading disinformation' about him
nypost.com • • sports
Key Points:
- Dave Portnoy, founder of Barstool Sports, accused Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams of spreading false information after Williams reposted a tweet criticizing Portnoy for a past incident involving a student’s arrest.
- The original tweet referred to a 2025 incident where a Mississippi State student was arrested after throwing coins at Portnoy during a pizza review, an event Portnoy disputes as being misrepresented.
- The social media exchange followed Williams’ injury during the Bears’ 9-3 loss to the Vikings, where he suffered a non-contact hamstring injury and was carted off the field, raising concerns about his availability.
- Bears coach Ben Johnson indicated Williams' injury could be "week-to-week," with the quarterback likely to miss some time, complicating the team's depth as backup Tyson Bagent is in concussion protocol and Case Keenum may start.
- Williams, in his second season, led the Bears to an 11-6 record and their first playoff appearance since 2020, highlighting his importance to the team's success.
