Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy is known for a lot of things that cause controversy, but not many knew that he was battling an illness that could’ve killed him.
Dave Portnoy made a shocking announcement about his health this week when he revealed that he was diagnosed with cancer. However, he defeated it.
The 47-year-old revealed the diagnosis on an episode of “The BFFs Pod” when his co-hosts noted that he had a scar on his neck.
“Do you have a scratch on your neck? Like a cut?” LaPaglia asked.
The 47-year-old replied: “Yeah, cancer. I beat it, though.”

Portnoy told host Brianna LaPaglia that he went to the doctor for a skin check after noticing a mole on his neck, “They scraped it, and one of them came back as cancerous,” he said. “They cut it the f–k out…. I’ve got a scar going all the way down my neck. I look like Frankenstein.”
Portnoy went on to say that it was “only a basal,” which is a type of skin cancer called basal cell carcinoma that starts in the basal cells, a type of cell within the skin that produces new skin cells as old ones die off, according to the Mayo Clinic.
Portnoy provided more information on his X account, saying, “I did have cancer. I beat it,” Portnoy wrote, sharing a video in which he discussed with other Barstool personalities. “It wasn’t the serious kind, thank god.”
