Barstool Breakdown

As we are all riding high from another masterful (yes, pun intended) mini-golf tournament hosted by Barstool, it is the perfect time to do some classic comparisons to the boys down on the big big courses. Which of our guys' games or attitudes...even in the Barstool office, align with the best on the Tour? Let’s see. Liam Blutman – Rickie Fowler They both wear the hell out of the orange; that is an easy comp out of the gates with a look unmatched by any other golfer. I mean, c

The menu at The Masters  is considered by some to be iconic, but I’m here to say you are all living a lie. Frankly, let’s be honest: the prices blind you to the fact that their food menu may be the biggest pile of dog crap you’ll ever see. This is not a Little League tournament in Mayberry, North Carolina, this is the freaking Masters. You can’t run, you can't have phones, and you are considered "patrons." So, let’s feed them at the level these patrons deserve. Since The Mast

As we go full send  into Masters week with players hitting the practice rounds, we have to start the process of figuring out who truly can contend into the weekend or even take the ever-so-elusive & stylish green jacket home. While some will be up or down, this list of the top 10 wasn't as easy as you may think with the mystique of it being a major & at Augusta. #10 - Nicolai Højgaard The truest of wild cards you can think of. Højgaard has the skill to play with anyone on thi

After last week ended with an all-timer , we head into the second half of the Dozen regular season with a league deeper than ever before. Of course, we have the top 4 who look the part in the defending champs, The Experts , but nipping at their heels are Uptown Balls , Booze Ponies , & of course Ziti . It is the 5-8 spots though that interest me, & I'm sure many other stoolies feel any of them could find a groove come June. Tuesday Night #12 Red Team (0-2) vs. #10 Grinders (1

The theme of the week is GOLF!  No, not just because Hank wants it... kinda... well, maybe it still is, BUT it's Masters week, and After Dark  is getting it going with Mini Golf Survivor . With the Chicago office ready to split into two teams to compete Ryder Cup style later this week, the "Old Team" is all set, but the rest of the office is ready for a little tryout in hopes of getting a piece of 40,000 big ones in the Barstool Mini Golf Ryder Cup. For this special editio

Golf fans, the long drought is finally over. We not only have major golf this week but the return of The Masters at Augusta . With the state of the golf world as it is, these four majors feel like they're at an even higher anticipation level than ever before. Last year, we got to see that historic Rory McIlroy fourth round leading to him finally completing his Grand Slam. Now, we enter 2026 with a Masters field that some are calling one of the most wide-open in years. In pas

It's weekends like this one that you remember why we Viva. Why most were there to support their teams for the Final Four in Indianapolis, I was boots on the ground for the Ship after a 7 1/2 hour car ride all the way from Missouri just to see the two live shows. (Mizzou if you ever want to make a Final Four in my lifetime, that would be fantastic) Now, let's just get this out of the way. There is no city better to host a Final Four weekend than Indianapolis because truly, in

Ohio’s Tate’s  journey with Rico Bosco to the Final Four gets started today, or at least was supposed to, with a nice pleasant private jet. But the air traffic world... or someone else, looks to have a different plan for the Bosco crew, sending shock waves through the Ryder  world of who could be behind the early hiccup to Rico's big weekend. For those a little  behind on the times, Rico Bosco won a bet to get a private jet from New Jersey to Indy for the Final Four after hi

We have a new number one in the Dozen! As we head into the eighth week of the season, we have the first change in the #1 rankings as the Booze Ponies  took care of Ziti  with ease, freeing the way for the Experts to take the spot on top. Could it have been a Final Four preview? Maybe, as Ziti always turns it up a notch in playoff trivia. The rest of the week gave us some lopsided games, including the worst in Dozen history by the Experts . We now have a new week of matchups a

Many of you may not even know college baseball exists, and even more might barely remember a major leaguer from the 2000s named Scott Hairston . Well, that’s okay, but I’m here to tell you a little about both before you completely miss out on something BIG! Landon Hairston , the son of Scott, currently plays in the desert for Arizona State and looks to be nearly impossible to stop. Scott was a good ballplayer, coming up through Arizona prep schools & with the Arizona Diamon

Some people in life attempt to tackle an enigma, yes, but MAYBE just one. Many even go through life without even coming close to a discovery in their fieldwork. As Final Four week hits and others are focused on who is trying to become king of the court, Ohio's Tate looks to conquer yet another pillar of discovery in the social...maybe even scientific world. We have Bigfoot , the Loch Ness Monster , and now Final Four Pump Party Rico Bosco : the world's most well-known what-

Now that it’s been over a week since our Zags' 2025-26 season ended, it's time to first look back before we see what's ahead. This was one of the strangest seasons we have seen in Spokane in a long time, yet somehow we still got to see a conference championship, 30 wins, and yet another season getting out of the Round of 64. Still, having no second-weekend appearance for a second straight year can't help but leave us wondering where things went wrong, who stood out, who fell

Opening Day is one of the best days of the entire year, hands down. I know every fanbase says this, but in St. Louis it truly means more. Over 44,000 take off work, gather together and celebrate the start of a new season for the Cardinals. Now obviously the Cardinals are in the beginning of what is likely to be a multi-year rebuild, but that didn't stop fans from showing up at Busch Stadium on Thursday afternoon. It's a scene like no other with the Clydesdales making an appea

First Pitch is finally tonight! The return of baseball is here with the MLB season starting with a standalone game before the majority of the league gets going Thursday. Now, many people are still fully in March Madness or impatiently awaiting The Masters only a few weeks away, but among those two premier events is another: Opening Day. It’s a new year for players to continue their success or break out on the scene. To help out with all we have going on, I have put togeth

This offseason, we lost The Yak, Mostly Trivia, Macrodosing, Charity Case, and Foreplay. Will we lose as many teams this offseason? Probably not, but I believe there may be some shocking splits, and hopefully some splits that have been a long time coming. Been a long time coming: Gen XYZ It's been a rough few seasons for Gen XYZ. They made the final 4 in season 1, won a playoff game in season 2, but since then, are 0-2 in the playoffs and haven't made the playoffs since seaso

The Sweet 16 just got much sweeter for Stoolie fans. Did your team already bow out of the Big Dance? No worries, as Friday night may have the highest stakes on the line that we have seen in years at the Stool. With Michigan, Dave Portnoy's alma mater and team for the whole century, playing Alabama, led by one of Rico Bosco's guys, Nate Oats, the idea of a wager was put forth by Portnoy. Well, today the deal was put together behind closed doors, and it is one with possible l

The madness of March continues this week on the court & in the Dozen Trivia League . The season feels to be flying by, as I'm sure teams on the bubble are feeling the pressure to get that signature win. This week we have a couple of matches with those exact chances up for grabs, but it's the Sunday Night Showdown that may be the hot ticket, with the #1 ranking for Ziti  on the line as they take on the Booze Ponies , who are hot as ever after an early stumble. Tuesday Night #1

*AGAIN I WILL WARN YOU THERE ARE SPOILERS AHEAD, SO PLEASE WAIT TO READ UNTIL YOU FINISH THE FIRST EPISODE HERE !* These are just my thoughts on the first episode as I was watching live. The Barstool Basketball Association is officially BACK for Season 2, and if Episode 1 is any indication, we are in for chaos in the best way possible. First things first. Commissioner Mark Titus walking in wearing the red suit. That is how you set the tone. You see that and immediately know

Buckle in, folks; we’ve got ourselves a potential marathon incoming. Ohio’s Tate & Dana Beers will be running back their historic stream of Wet Ones in honor of March Madness this Monday night. They will also be adding a third to the mix in Ronny Doitche (suspension talk below) after his stellar performance in Pros vs. Joes. But watch out for the twist of the century! Okay, wow, so this is a lot to unpack here. First, let’s start with the boys. We all know Dana Beers can d

Well, it's official... for real this time, Gonzaga has been eliminated from the NCAA tournament by Texas. Now you may ask, what do you mean "for real"? Well, if you are an avid Twitter user & big Beer Bracket connoisseur , you may have thought my Zags fell many hours ago. Yes, the man known as the beer chugmaster, Ronny Doitche, had an early call of the game, thus of course leading to our actual demise about an hour ago. With that, I must say I am officially out on the beer b
