Dave Portnoy Wants Football Games To ‘Ban’ Lightning Delays

I hate that douche so much. He thinks he’s so cool but really he’s just a narcissistic POS

Keeping players safe when lightening is in the area makes sense, it's the mandatory 30 minutes after the all clear and warm up time that is unnecessary.

He really is completely fricking retarded, isn't he?

Classic Larry...Peyton Manning in the thumbnail?? C'mon man!

So, the moment somebody gets struck (incluing you), are you gonna keep this stance?

Let him stand out in the filed with a lightning rod.

Zero common sense when it comes to these lightning delays.

I don’t really remember it growing up either. The Arkansas/Tennessee game in 2001 was one of the most terrifying experiences of my life and that game finished in under 3 hours I think.

It sucks, but is this really the hill you want to the players to die on?

Yeah, college football is a matter of life and death. Smh.....

Does Dave think he can get OSHA to look the other way when it comes to all the support staff they need to put on a football game?

And you clear the stands….. those upper decks are up there.

I completely agree with the lightening delays that are occurring now. It is really not about the players and people, but the media personnel and equipment. Once again, society is being engineered by the weakest amongst us.

Lightning wants to ban Dave Portnoy.

The lightning delays are ridiculous. No one has ever been struck in the stands or on the field inside a stadium. It's physics. If they were playing in an open field it would be different. You can't eliminate all risk from attending a game. More people are hurt on stairs in slip and falls or from dehydration or an accident in the parking lot. The whole thing is ridiculous and not backed by science.

Amen! If it's your time...it's your time...whether kilt by lightning, drunk driver or a gargoyle statue falling off of a bldg onto your head.

(but lawyers will never let that happen)
