Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy criticized Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert for his appearance in the music video for his girlfriend Madison Beer’s new single, "Lovergirl." Portnoy expressed his disapproval on social media, suggesting that athletes should focus on their training instead of participating in music videos. He stated, “Call me crazy but I like my coaches and QB’s concentrating on the weight room and studying game tape rather than making steamy music videos.”

Portnoy, a vocal New England Patriots fan, highlighted the contrast between Herbert’s lack of postseason success and the achievements of his own team, which has won six Super Bowl rings. To date, the 28-year-old Herbert has yet to secure a playoff victory despite having played six seasons in the NFL.

The music video features Herbert and Beer, who began dating in August 2025, in romantic scenes such as kissing on the beach and playful interactions. In her recently released song, Beer sings lyrics that celebrate love and intimacy.

Herbert made their relationship Instagram official with a heartfelt post that showcased the couple enjoying time together. Beer also shared affectionate birthday wishes for Herbert, cementing their relationship in the public’s eye.

While Portnoy appears frustrated with Herbert’s extracurricular activities during the offseason, he displayed less concern regarding the controversy surrounding Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel, who is involved in an ongoing scandal with an NFL reporter.
