Sorsby Won’t Play, Bet on That
Okay, I have had 24 hours to sit on the news out of Lubbock yesterday of Brendan Sorsby getting his eligibility back for the 2026 season. To me, this is pretty cut & dry still after hours of mulling around it, he can't play. Texas Tech has to do the right thing & suspend him. You just don't bet on your sport, let alone your team, plain & simple. As sports fans, athletes, & coaches, the reason it all comes together on the field, court, or ice is competition. Yes, many will go

Barstool After Dark: World Cup of Joes
AFTER DARK IS BACK! And it is time to get the cleats on for the World Cup, Barstool style. Our favorite is also back on as the Pros vs. Joes hits the soccer fields. An all-star squad from the Major Arena Soccer League will be coming to town in an all-time face-off. Ohio's Tate is putting together his best roster to finally end the streak of Joe L's in the sport that he knows best... right? Okay, so maybe I fibbed a little on Tate's knowledge of soccer, as I am pretty much in

Time to Say It...Bueckers over Clark
Over the past few years, there has been a surge of talented players into women's college basketball & of course then the WNBA, all of it led by Caitlin Clark of the Indiana Fever. While I will preface this by saying she is a top 3–5 women's player in the world, it's still time to sit back and have a conversation about Dallas Wings G Paige Bueckers. For those who aren't in tune with the WNBA outside of Clark, you may know the name Paige Bueckers but not really the lore behind

Red Sox Has DUDES in Maine!
With my wife taking a short-term job in Portland, Maine this spring & summer, I have really taken to the city of Portland. Within this city is a hidden baseball gem that has three major league prospects playing every day! Franklin Arias, Anthony Eyanson, & Brooks Brannon are showing out, and I have to say, Red Sox fans, you may be down now, but reinforcements are coming. While, yes, I have hit the lobster rolls, ciders, & revolutionary history full send, there is another piec

Barstool After Dark: The Show Goes On
Ohio's Tate may never sleep, folks. Amidst yet another stellar rendition of giving Stoolies an inside look at one of the company's content creators, this time being NBA legend and champion Jason Williams... no big deal, he’s still grinding. Even with being constantly on the clock, reporting every moment he can of Williams and the Texas Tech softball national championship run with J-Will's daughter Mia Williams at the forefront, he still has a version of Barstool After Dark in

OBJ IS COMING HOME!!!
Today marks the happiest day I've been as a Giants fan in the last 12 years. Odell Beckham Jr. is finally coming back to where he belongs - in NY Giants Blue. I have been advocating this for YEARS.... And it FINALLY happens. Is this going to be the same Odell that we know and love from 2016? Probably not. But that doesn't change the fact that this man wanted to be back in blue and he's hungry to be here. If I know OBJ like I think I do (yes, him and I are close personal frien

Update: College Baseball RULES!
The anti-college sports dweebs have another L to carry around after this past weekend of the college baseball regionals. In what was three days of slams, top-ten plays, and generational upsets, college sports yet again showed they rule American sports. On just this past Monday, we all, or at least myself, watched a tournament selection show where the “experts” lauded over national seeds' paths to an eventual College World Series. All led by what was being considered one of th

College Baseball Has An Umpire Problem
College baseball is a beautiful game. The Regionals this weekend opened with electric play on Friday and Saturday. Upsets, pitching duels, and offensive juggernauts were on display through the first two days as UCLA fell in their opening game as the National No. 1 seed (and eventually lost again on Sunday), Tennessee was eliminated, Nebraska was sent home, and other big storylines. Unfortunately despite all the fun baseball that was played throughout the weekend, the top two

A Tale of Two Reporters
The Barstool Sports Field Reporters were in action yet again this past weekend as Ohio’s Tate & Danny Conrad took on their newest assignments across the Midwest. Though it has been quite the contrast, indeed, for the two. Showing the duality of Barstool content creators in unedited...well "Mintz unedited" fashion. First up, we have Ohio’s Tate, the veteran who has tackled some of Barstool’s tallest tasks, including multiple weekends with Ben Mintz, a Final Four pump party wit

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

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

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!

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
