It appears we now know why FOX Sports suddenly canceled several of their main sports shows: They're making room for Dave Portnoy and Barstool Sports. On Wednesday, Front Office Sports reported that Fox Sports is nearing a major deal with Portnoy and Barstool that would see Portnoy become a member

On top of his spot on Big Noon Kickoff, Portnoy also announced on his The Unnamed Show podcast that there is a new daily Barstool show in the works that will air on Fox Sports 1 from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. "They want a taste of the Barstool world," he explained. "...and I think we're gonna do a lot more."

Barstool Sports founder and President Dave Portnoy continues to succeed. Fox Sports and Barstool Sports are nearing a deal that would include Portnoy on FOX’s Big Noon Kickoff and additional Barstool content on FS1,
