Dave Portnoy found one thing funny in The Washington Post article he said was a “hit piece” about him and the One Bite Pizza festival he organized on Saturday.

In the article — which focuses on the backlash around Portnoy’s event in Brooklyn — The Washington Post mentioned a blog post from the Barstool Sports founder, who wrote that former Jets quarterback Christian Hackenberg was “f–king gorgeous.”

He included a “#nohomo” in the story.

In response to one X user, who said that was “the best part” of The Washington Post article, Portnoy replied, “This is objectively funny. And yes Hackenberg was one piece of ass.”

Hackenberg caught wind of Portnoy’s post and replied, “Thanks Dave,” with a winking face emoji.

“You’re welcome,” Portnoy wrote. “I call it as I see it.”

Hackenberg is currently the quarterbacks coach for Winslow Township High School in New Jersey.

He was a starter at Penn State from 2013-15 before the Jets selected him in the second round of the 2016 NFL Draft.

Hackenberg never played a regular-season game in two seasons with New York and saw no action with the Raiders, Eagles and Bengals.

He also struggled as the starting quarterback for the Memphis Express franchise of the Alliance of American Football, which folded in 2019.

Portnoy has been at war with The Washington Post and documenting the drama on social media since he was tipped off by one of the sponsors of his pizza festival that claimed the outlet was planning to run a piece about the event.

The Barstool boss took to X (formerly Twitter) to share a video of him on the phone with one of the article’s reporters, Emily Heil, who admitted to sending negative emails about Portnoy to the sponsors of the “One Bite” pizza festival in order to get sponsors to “engage” with her for the story.

Portnoy’s One Bite Pizza Festival is derived from his popular pizza review videos on social media, during which he visits small businesses and takes a single bite of pizza to rate on a 1-10 scale.

The festival was 95% sold out, according to its website.
