Dave Portnoy Marks “How Did I Get Here” Moment as Cannon Blast Starts Army-Navy Football Game

If there’s one thing that all Americans love along with football, that’s following the tradition. And if the two coincide with each other, things become all the more titillating. Like every year, this year’s Army-Navy game drew a lot of attention from fans all over the country. The 124th edition of the game was hosted at the Gillette Stadium, Foxborough, Massachusetts, and the Barstool Sports owner Dave Portnoy played a pivotal role.

Portnoy isn’t having a great time. He recently had to bear massive financial losses, thanks to misplaced wagers on the Duke Blue Devils and the Cincinnati Bengals. However, this year’s Army-Navy game had to offer some redeeming points for the Patriots fan by giving Portnoy a chance to take center stage.

In his recent post on X, Portnoy shared a glimpse of his glory moment. As a tradition, the coveted game between the two divisions of the national military is set off with a cannon fire. This year, the honor of firing the gun was bestowed on the Barstool Sports owner. In his post, Portnoy wrote, “In terms of “holy s*** how did I get here” moments this may be #1“, highlighting his apparent nervousness about his heavy responsibility.

Along with the photo, Portnoy also shared another post where the whole scenario can be witnessed as a video clip. The cheering crowd eggs Portnoy on as he gets ready to mark the start of the long-celebrated match. As the onlookers came and congratulated Portnoy on a job well done, he couldn’t hold back on a wide grin.

The West Point cadets took the game 17-11 after a thrilling last-moment score. While celebrating the Army’s win, Portnoy couldn’t resist taking another dig at Michigan Wolverines’ rivals from the Big Ten. The sign-stealing allegations have been making things incredibly difficult for Portnoy’s alma mater this season as head coach Jim Harbaugh is handed a suspension notice from the authorities.
