It was Tom Brady’s night on Wednesday, but Dave Portnoy unintentionally ended up making things about him.
The New England Patriots longtime quarterback was inducted into the Patriots Hall of Fame during a ceremony inside Gillette Stadium.
Barstool Sports owner Dave Portnoy made sure he was in the house for this event, but he did not stay to watch the entire thing.
The Patriots threw the event at Gillette Stadium to honor Brady’s time in New England and enshrine his career in their history books. It also came on the same day as the Boston Celtics were set to take on the Dallas Mavericks in Game 3 of the NBA Finals.
Sporting a Celtics cap at the event, Dave Portnoy detailed that he had to leave the event to catch the end of Game 3 of the NBA Finals between the Boston Celtics and Dallas Mavericks.
Unfortunately for Dave Portnoy, he left before hearing Tom Brady give him and his crew a major shoutout during his speech.
“Not mad at all that I snuck out to watch the NBA Finals and missed this moment. Celts needed me. #banner18. *but doesn’t mean I’m not sad about it,” Portnoy tweeted on Wednesday night.
The Celtics almost lost a 20-point lead but came out victorious in a game that gave them a commanding 3-0 series lead in the NBA Finals, and Portnoy didn’t have any more regrets on this night.
