Truly a Dog Eat Dog World
The job trail ain’t no joke out there, even for the pups. The Tulsa Drillers have announced they will be suspending their bat dog program after the mishap over the weekend that left star prospect Kendall George with a potentially serious knee injury. Folks, it truly is a dog-eat-dog world. For those very confused at this point, let me fill in some blanks. Many pay little to no attention to the minor league baseball world, only reading articles on their top prospects, which is

Barstool After Dark: With just Mintzy & ME, It's Easy as A-B-C
"This is the first stream I've feared for my safety (worse than the coyotes in the corn maze), & my blood is on Lucas' hands - Ohio's Tate BARSTOOL AFTER DARK IS BACK, & stoolies get ready for this one. Ohio's Tate, Lucas, & the crew have put together another elite idea, one that was set in stone before the Shreveport Bread War, before you get any ideas! This Tuesday could be the final After Dark stream potentially if things go awry for Tate, with even as Tate said, his safet

WINNERS & LOSERS OF THE NBA DRAFT LOTTERY
A week and a half ago was the most important day involving ping pong balls since the release of Marty Supreme. It was the NBA Draft Lottery. Some familiar faces, teams wondering how they got there, and probable champs (still unbelievable) got together to see what place they will draft in what is projected to be one of the more loaded draft classes in a long time. With the order set, it is time to see who reaped the benefits and who will be back here next year. WINNER: THE WAS

Barstool After Dark: "Bye Week" Must SEE!
With Barstool's Chicago office being taken over this week by the reality series Surviving Barstool, all live shows are getting a week off, including all of our weekly staples The Yak, Mostly Sports, & of course Barstool After Dark. Now, knowing that, like me, all of you stoolies are starving for some content, I decided to pull a page out of the Yak playbook to give everyone some old MUST-SEES! Of course, the must-sees in After Dark fashion needed a twist, so instead of pickin

Week 15: Dozen Trivia Preview
What a week we have before us, with the last play-in spot on the line! We are less than a month away from the Final Four & only a couple of weeks away from the play-in tournament! The season feels like it just started somehow, but here we are with the Experts & Uptown Balls locking down the 1-2 spots & vying for the regular season championship later this month. Now, we just need to see how the rest line up behind them! Tuesday Night #11 Ice Dawgs (2-2) vs. #10 Red Team (1-4)

In Case You Forgot...CORBIN BARRELS!
As we all know, the MLB season is quite long, and with big events happening all around the sports world...including Game 7s in the NBA and NHL, while underdogs take golf major championships, sometimes casuals may lose sight of the true stars of the game. So just in case you may have lost yourself in the sauce, Corbin Carroll is still THAT DUDE! Today, I knew I needed one hell of a palate cleanser after my guys in Philly, Rory McIlroy & Ludvig Åberg, got RAI'd in the ass! Well

Here We Go Again LUDDE!!!
Another major, and yet again we, as Ludvig Åberg fans, are ready to hurt again. After his subpar Round 1, he came back with a masterful Round 2 that included tearing up a back nine that has put the world's best in a blender. Out of nowhere, he has put himself not only in contention but right into the top 10 heading into the weekend after a 66 today. Now, before you get on my ass about how we have been here before, including three times this year with Ludde, let’s instead enjo

Tomorrow Is Not Promised
The past few days have been rough for me as a sports fan and quite frankly, as a human being. Seeing senseless tragedies occur can always lead you to remember that life is precious and that we should enjoy every single day we have on this Earth. The photo I used for the title cover is a picture of NBA player Brandon Clarke taking time to sign an autograph for my little cousin who is a Memphis Grizzlies fan before the start of a NBA game in 2025. I'll probably be a little all

Week 14: Dozen Trivia Preview
As we reach many of the teams' final matches, time is running out for the bubble squads. Last week we may have seen the final dagger dropped on the Po'Boyz as the Markettes made quick work of them in the blowout. We are continuing to see the playoff picture come together & the Final Four in Chicago is shaping up to be an all-time great finish. But before we get too ahead of ourselves, the jockeying for playoff positions continues. Tuesday Night #16 Ice People (1-3) vs #8 Chic

Barstool After Dark: The Joe's Try Handball
What is handball? That may be your very first question as we get our newest rendition of Barstool After Dark's Pros vs. Joes: Handball this Monday night. After their attempt at basketball was comically bad, they turn to a sport that mixes basketball & soccer the most. Let's just say after a quick Google search... the Joes are potentially in trouble yet again... BIG TROUBLE. As Ohio's Tate explained, the national men's U.S. handball team will be facing off against our Barstool

My Plead for Portnoy to Peng's Pizza
A little secret you need to know about Maine other than it being known as Vacationland... it has some sneaky pizza! Yes, I won't fight you or anyone else that you come for the lobster rolls, but you just may stay another day for the pizza. While Dave Portnoy hit Portland, ME a few years ago finding the gem that is Monte's, I'm here to say he needs to make a return trip ASAP, this time to Biddeford, a town just southwest of Portland, for a little place known as Peng's Pizza.

Post Spring Ball Update: Broscious Ready for 2026 in Ames
The new world of college football is about the trenches, & Iowa State is no different than any other program in America right now. The Cyclones are beginning a new era under first year head coach Jimmy Rogers, who brought in an exciting group of proven players from major conferences headlined by former Michigan State Spartan Gavin Broscious as he looks to give Ames, Iowa a little edge in 2026.

Barstool After Dark: 7 Still Standing(Updated Odds)
Almost 20 hours into the 30k stream, we have had walkouts, crashouts (Klemmer), & now a near vote-out. Yesterday we started with 22 people, but quickly saw a drop within hours to almost half. Some on their own accord, others with just a quick lapse of judgment... Mintz. Now we are down to just 7, the true contenders! If Ohio's Tate, Lucas, & Ryan had a script of who the final group would be, this had to have been top of the list. We currently have Doitche, Dana, Nate, Meek, B

Week 13: Dozen Trivia Preview
Last week we saw Uptown Balls firmly assert themselves as true contenders for the regular season title, continuing their undefeated run. A true final regular season test awaits them once again. Now, the Experts just need to clean up one last match to clinch that regular season championship. After spots #1 and #2, however, things are getting very muddy with around 12 to 13 teams still in the hunt for a playoff spot. With just over a month left until play-ins, the margin for er

Barstool After Dark: The Bartering Has Started (Unofficial Odds Inside)
The countdown is on, the buzz is in the air; we are officially less than 24 hours from the start of the Barstool After Dark stream that could change it all. The contestants are already searching for any leg up they can find as their big moment looms closer and closer. From the looks of Ohio Tate’s Twitter, his phone is blowing up with potential stipulations or requests, which he of course forwards all to Lucas. Something that is not good for anyone looking for any leeway. For

What PMT Means To Me: Book Submission
Picture this: A sports obsessed 21 year old kid in the Navy. He’s just moved into a new home with his (ex) wife and his 20 minute commute to Naval Base San Diego on 32nd street takes a little over 2 hours due to base traffic. To pass the time from 5-7 am he listens to whatever Max Kellerman and Stephen A. Smith have to say about the sports world from the day prior. After that, Pardon The Interruption comes on his radio to debate the same topics he just heard. For a while, thi
