David Portnoy and his crew from Barstool Sports are at it again! In the wake of yesterday’s announcement of Tom Brady’s four game suspension, the “Defenders of the Wall” took to New York City and handcuffed themselves together in the lobby of the NFL Headquarters.
El Pres, Sales Guy, Handsome Hank and Feits (a Portsmouth Abbey grad and Newport summer resident) were arrested by the NYPD after about 15 minutes.

Regardless of reason behind stunt, it’s not going to be fun to spend the night in NYC central booking while wearing a Brady jersey — Lisa Kraus Edwards (@LAKEdwards) May 12, 2015
God bless the Barstool Crew. Never a dull moment! PS – El Pres’ wife with some serious Twitter skills!!!
I don’t think I can possibly get in trouble for buying new horses and shoes while @stoolpresidente is in jail right?! — Renee Portnoy (@Renee_Portnoy) May 12, 2015
Text from @stoolpresidente mom: “I guess Dave won’t be home tonight” fair estimate Linda. — Renee Portnoy (@Renee_Portnoy) May 12, 2015
No chance @stoolpresidente calls me from jail. Why would he waste his call on his furious wife?! @KFCBarstool is getting the bail call. — Renee Portnoy (@Renee_Portnoy) May 12, 2015
And that one call? Yup, he called KFC!
Here is @stoolpresidente‘s one phone call from prison. https://t.co/4hF4uQUlP2 — KFC, Kevin Clancy (@KFCBarstool) May 12, 2015
