Create Account Portnoy, who said he was in the city recently for a Bitcoin conference, posted a six-minute video Monday for his popular One Bite Pizza Reviews on YouTube. The sports media mogul — who is Jewish — was brought to Terrazza on Harbord St. by Toronto friend Bill The Greek for another pizza tour after not being able to sample the restaurant's offerings the last time he was in the city. As he was just about to take a bite into a slice, a male voice off camera yelled, 'F— the Jews.' Your noon-hour look at what's happening in Toronto and beyond.

'See, there we go,' Portnoy responded as several youth chuckled while they recorded the scene on their phones. Portnoy immediately turned around and chided the teens. 'What are you guys f—— laughing about,' he asked as his tone got serious. Portnoy said he wouldn't let the antisemitic slur get in the way of his review. 'What is that Toronto hospitality there,' he asked Bill The Greek. 'That's terrible, terrible,' Portnoy's friend replied. 'There's old school and then there's no school.' RECOMMENDED VIDEO The Toronto Sun reached out to Portnoy for a comment but have yet to receive a response. Last month, another antisemitic incident occurred at a Barstool Sports-owned bar in Philadelphia. On May 3, video shared to social media showed a sign reading 'F— the Jews' while patrons ordered bottle service. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below.

'I've been shaking,' he said. 'I've been so f—— mad the last two hours.' Portnoy said it will be his mission to make these people's lives miserable. 'These are young f—— morons who did this,' he said in another video hours later. 'They're drunk.' Portnoy added that he has faced more antisemitic comments in the past year than in two decades with Barstool Sports. Read More Other Sports Canada Toronto & GTA Other Sports Canada

Dave Portnoy Says He Doesn't Understand How Rich People Like Him Lose Money—'Once You Have Money, You Just Make More'
Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy says he doesn't get how wealthy people go broke. Speaking on a recent episode of 'The Unnamed Show,' Portnoy said that once someone has real money, it should be easy to keep making more. 'I don't know how people lose [money],' Portnoy said. 'Once you have money, you just make more.' 'I'm Just Gambling, I'm Just Living' Portnoy, who estimates his net worth at around $250 million, said he has a finance guy whose only job is to alert him if things ever get tight. 'If you're getting tight, let me know. Other than that, I'm buying horses, I'm buying houses, I'm just gambling, I'm just living,' he said. Don't Miss: Maker of the $60,000 foldable home has 3 factory buildings, 600+ houses built, and big plans to solve housing — 'Scrolling To UBI' — Deloitte's #1 fastest-growing software company allows users to earn money on their phones. He added that he doesn't even know what his monthly mortgage payment is on his $42 million Nantucket property. At one point in the podcast, one of the co-hosts asked if he was worth $700 million. Portnoy laughed off the idea. 'No, no. If I had to guess net worth, I'd probably put it around maybe $250 [million]. I don't know. That's a guess,' he said. He acknowledged the number is fluid given his various investments, real estate, and gambling activity. He also took a shot at other celebrities, including Justin Bieber and Bruno Mars, referencing rumors about financial troubles due to excessive spending or gambling. "I don't know if I believe that stuff. How do you spend that much? Like, are you not investing it?" Trending: Invest where it hurts — and help millions heal:. Portnoy's own gambling habits have drawn attention not just for their size, but for rumors that he's not always betting his own money but that DraftKings (NASDAQ:DKNG) gives him an annual check to place bets. On the show, he addressed the speculation head-on. "Anyone who's been with me placing a bet, which you have, [knows] it's my own money," Portnoy said. "I don't even know that that's legal, to be totally honest. You'd have to disclaim what's going on." He added that he's not a good enough actor to fake the emotional rollercoaster he goes through during high-stakes games. "There's no shot I can have the emotions that I have doing it," he comments came shortly after a high-profile win: he made $325,000 on a single bet predicting Caitlin Clark would record a triple-double in the Indiana Fever's 2025 season opener. He placed a $25,000 wager with DraftKings at +1300 odds. That one bet nearly matched Clark's four-year WNBA salary of $338,056. Portnoy has also been vocal about Clark's performance and the media narratives surrounding her. He's criticized outlets like ESPN and public figures for turning a sports rivalry into a race issue. His co-host, Kirk Minihane, made a good point, saying, "This is about two 23-year-old women basketball players. Who gives a sh*t?"

We taste-tested High Noon. Does America's most popular spirit live up to the hype?
In case you haven't noticed, High Noon is everywhere. Gallo's canned vodka seltzer is the top-selling spirit by volume in the U.S. — meaning more of this stuff is sold than Tito's or Jack Daniel's. When my colleague Jess Lander and I learned that extraordinary fact, we knew we had to write about it. What we discovered in our reporting was a whole subculture devoted to Nooners, as the drink is known to some of its dearest fans, spanning golf clubs, Barstool Sports and basically every bar in the Marina District. Nearly every source we interviewed for the story said that they believe High Noon is a superior product to competitors like White Claw and Truly. The vodka-based drink is also more expensive than its malt-based competitors, due to the fact that spirits are taxed more highly. I outed myself long ago, in the hard seltzer infancy period of 2019, as a White Claw detester. When Jess and I set out to write this story, I had never actually tasted High Noon, but I was eager to see if I could in good conscience jump on the bandwagon. So we conducted a tasting at the Chronicle newsroom. I bought a couple cases of High Noon and enlisted colleagues from various newsroom departments — including several representatives of Gen Z — to sample eight flavors with me. (According to its website, High Noon comes in 26 different flavors.) The good news is that the session was nowhere near as punishing as the blind hard seltzer tasting I organized back in 2019, when I subjected my colleagues Janelle Bitker, Soleil Ho and Paolo Lucchesi to 38 hard seltzers that were uniformly terrible. The bad news is that I found the High Noons mostly undrinkable, and my colleagues, even the Zoomers, largely agreed. 'This tastes like if you dropped two cherry Starbursts in a Perrier and left it overnight,' said Chronicle culture critic Peter Hartlaub of High Noon black cherry. Copy chief and native Minnesotan Linda Houser observed, 'This one will sell in the Midwest.' 'Bubblicious cotton candy flavor' is how investigative reporter Susie Neilson (a Pulitzer finalist!) characterized the raspberry iced tea. These drinks shouldn't taste that sweet, based on their nutrition facts (2.6 grams of sugar per can for the non-iced tea variations we tried), but they all smelled like candy, and several of them tasted like candy too. The pineapple variation reminded us of a gummy bear; the watermelon was like a Jolly Rancher that had melted in the sun. The High Noon iced teas tasted downright cloying, despite the fact that they have zero grams of sugar. We had to assume — though could not verify, since ingredient labeling is not required for alcohol — they had been jacked up with an artificial sweetener like Stevia. Some colleagues liked the lemon iced tea, which graphics reporter Harsha Devulapalli likened to a spiked Arizona, in a good way. By far the best of the flavors we tried, in my opinion, was grapefruit, which restaurant critic MacKenzie Chung Fegan accurately described as a ringer for pamplemousse La Croix. It had a not-too-artificial grapefruit smell, was pleasantly tart and wasn't too sweet. I'd drink it. But if given the choice, I'd rather mix vodka with soda water and squeeze a juicy slice of grapefruit into it.

ESPN legend details harrowing moment Knicks 'hooligans' harassed him after playoff game
ESPN NBA insider Brian Windhorst has shed some light on a now-viral video of his interactions with New York Knicks fans after the second-round of the playoffs. Windhorst predicted that the Boston Celtics would eliminate the Knicks in the second round of the playoffs - only for the Knicks to pull out an upset in Game 6 of that series. After the elimination was confirmed at Madison Square Garden, Windhorst was recorded walking out of the arena by fans who pretended to 'interview' the ESPN star. However, as Windhorst revealed on the Barstool Sports podcast 'Pardon My Take', that interaction turned much more sinister. 'Those were not Knicks fans. Those were hooligans,' Windhorst told the program. 'Knicks fans were not a block away from the Garden at 12:30 in the morning. Knicks fans were off celebrating with themselves … the truth is, that there is other footage that apparently is not going to become unearthed where hands were put on me.' Brian Windhorst just got cooked 💀 @mirthee1st — Big Knick Energy (@BigKnickEnergy_) May 17, 2025 Watch parties outside of MSG have become hubs for fans who can't watch the games inside. Thousands have packed into plazas near the arena to see the game on giant screens. 'Nothing serious happened. People put their hands on me and I had to shove their hands off and I basically jaywalked across 35th Street to get away,' Windhorst revealed. He continued: 'I was never in serious danger. But it was not a pleasant experience at 12:35 in the morning. Those were not Knicks fans. 'Those were not the same people that I saw two hours earlier, enjoying one of the great moments in the Garden of most of their lives. So, I don't equate the two things.' Windhorst spent plenty of time inside the Garden after the game to record a podcast he co-hosts with Tim Bontemps. He joked to his co-host, 'How long are we going to have to be in here until we can safely go outside?' Incidents have turned violent in the Knicks' Eastern Conference Finals series as well. At a bar in Indianapolis, a Pacers fan reportedly stabbed two Knicks fans.
