No one is happy right now inside the Las Vegas Raiders organization. What was supposed to be a year of reloading and making it back to the playoffs has turned into a national nightmare, as they sit at the bottom of the NFL standings with a 2-11 record.
But no one on planet earth right now is more upset over today’s Raiders vs. Broncos game than Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy, who took to social media following the end of today’s game.
“That’s the worst beat of all time,” he said in a video recorded in his home. “You have to investigate the Raiders. Investigate the Raiders! What are they doing? What the f–k!”
A well-known New England Patriots fan, Portnoy wasn’t angered by the Raiders losing. It was, in fact, how they lost the game to the Broncos.
The Broncos were favored by 8.5 points in the game against their AFC West Rival. Denver was up 10 with the clock ticking down in a game that was all but over, with the Raiders running out the clock.
After a meaningless catch with no timeouts remaining, it was all over. The Broncos win by 10.
Except it wasn’t. The Raider player who caught the ball attempted to get up to walk towards the sideline as the time was about to expire, but he had trouble getting up with the Bronco player who was defending him on the previous play. The referees threw a flag, stopping the clock and calling a delay of game on Denver, giving Las Vegas a field goal and turning their defeat from 10 points to 7.

Portnoy would then go on to demand justice for this bad betting beat, pointing at the absolute absurdity of a late-second call that held no meaning to anyone on the field except for bettors and the Raiders kicker.
The Barstool owner is advocating for Raiders head coach Pete Carroll to serve prison time for this act.
The only punishment Carroll will receive from tonight’s game is having to coach the lifeless Raiders again next week as they travel to Philadelphia to play the reigning champions.
