Barstool Sports chief Dave Portnoy reacts after Travis Kelce PULLS OUT of appearing at their annual ‘Beer Olympics’ in Las Vegas

Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy took a dig at “Bussin’ With The Boys” podcast host Will Compton after learning that Travis Kelce will no longer be able to attend their annual Beer Olympics on June 25.

On the latest episode of Bussin With The Boys, Compton told former NFL lineman Taylor Lewan that he received a call from the three-time Super Bowl champion, telling him he was withdrawing from the event.

In response, Portnoy referenced a previous event in Barstool hosted by Jeff Lowe.

“At least the entire company wasn’t walking around with chickens having our heads cut off to house them,” Portnoy captioned a clip of Compton discussing the situation.

“Poor @JeffDlowe had to move the Dozen to Siberia in the middle of winter for shelter.”

Portnoy was referring to “The Dozen: Trivia Competition” – a trivia show hosted by Lowe’s where Barstool employees compete with each other. Schedule conflicts are an ongoing problem for Portnoy, who previously ripped Compton for booking the Beer Olympics on the same day as The Dozen.

“Will Compton booked the Beer Olympics on top of the Dozen,” Portnoy said at the Barstool Yak in February.

At the time, Portnoy and Compton went back and forth about the date but could not reach an agreement.

“This is my nightmare,” Compton said, to which Portnoy replied, “But why book first? The Dozen was booked there first, and then you booked it on top, and no one told me until after that. I couldn’t believe I heard about this scheduling conflict today.”

“I can’t help that they’re both scheduled at the same time, we’ve done it at the same time for the last two years,” Compton said. He also mentioned working with the schedules of NFL players who wanted to participate.

However, Portnoy continued to express frustration with Compton’s scheduling.

Both Jason and Travis Kelce gave valid reasons for dropping out, according to Compton

“Travis Kelce just called to let us know he won’t be able to compete in the Beer Olympics,” Compton said of his “brutal” phone call with the Chiefs star.

‘Anyway, onwards and upwards. We have lost a good soldier. Two good soldiers,” he said, referring to Kelce and his older brother Jason.

Compton later explained on The Yak that he moved the Beer Olympics a few days to accommodate the Kelces — noting that it would have been around June 25 anyway. He also said that the brothers had given a reason for quitting, although he could not say what it was.

Nevertheless, San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle and Indianapolis Colts defensive tackle DeForest Buckner won the Beer Olympics in 2023 and agreed to participate again this year.

Other participants last year included David Bakhtiarti and Tucker Kraft of the Green Bay Packers, singer/songwriter Jelly Roll and Fox Sports rules analyst Dean Blandino.
