Eli Drinkwitz Secures His Regular Season Signature Win... For Now.
I meant to write this on Monday. Then I meant to write it on Tuesday. It's now Wednesday, Mizzou has another massive game coming up this weekend, and I'm finally getting around to it. So naturally, since I'm finally giving Eli Drinkwitz and this team their flowers, they'll probably come home and pee down their legs against Texas A&M this weekend. That's Mizzou football! But whatever. Saturday was too damn good not to talk about. Mizzou didn't just beat No. 8 Florida on Homeco

Guardians vs White Sox Just Became MUST SEE!
As a Dbacks fan I gotta say this October has been one in which my mind has been far from the diamond, with only a score check here & there. Now though, the winds have shifted, as White Sox Dave & Nicky Smokes have started a war, albeit friendly so far, with Ohio's Tate & his family. All leaving me counting down till first pitch on the Southside! This is centered around an AL Central rivalry, yes, but it has become much more for the stoolie faithful as we are getting a day ful

Can we just play Calgary all 84?
Welp, last night was ummmm well something to say the least, Kraken fans. Now you could sit back and rationally think this through, realizing one goal was due to a broken stick, another was a deflection off a skate, & a third was an odd bounce right to a Knight, BUT we are fans and rational conclusions are not our thing! Instead, why don't we just play the Flames again? Alright, so maybe playing the Flames all 82 is out of the realm of possibility. I get that, but why can't we

The REAL Heisman Contenders
So all over the internet we can see "Heisman Contenders" lists. Sure, they are all nice and perfect with the big names plastered all over them to make you click it and oooo & awe over them. But whatever happened to finding the BEST players in the nation, the ones who are truly balling out, not whether their last name is the same as someone else's or they have an SEC patch on their collar? Look, some big names deserve the recognition, BUT let's not forget this trophy is for co

South Point 400? More Like the South Point Pick6
"... viva las vegas!" The Cup Series is in Sin City today for The South Point 400. Starting at 4:38 central on USA, the 5th race of The Chase. Currently, Kyle Larson is the leader, with Denny Hamlin 26 points behind him. The Toyota's swept the top 5 in qualifying yesterday, with Denny Hamlin winning his 5th pole of the season. Ty Gibbs, C Bell, Briscoe, and Reddick follow Denny. Earlier this season we saw the Toyota's dominate the intermediate tracks, and in case you aren't a

Week 4: Sunday Funday Parlay
Well, these are not good times, I understand. There has not been a "Funday" to be had yet in this young NFL season. I am all about accountability over here, too, if you don't think these losses are eating away at me, then you don't truly know Coach Day. The craziest part is I'm up big overall on the NFL, so the Funday slump, curse, or whatever it may be needs to be broken! I have suspended my cool bets until I get a W; this is serious shit we are dealing with here. I don't de

Should Ohio State Be Worried...about Little Rock?
Overall, this weekend of college football may not have the biggest matchups of the season, and really only the ball-knowers will be able to spot the diamonds in the rough. A few games are lined up to be flagged as potential upset bids or even "prove-it" time games for the favorites. One is in Starkville, where Brandon Walker, of course, is making sure to get boots on the ground, while another, involving Iowa, could be missing a crucial piece due to... Little Rock?? Yes, there

I'm feelin' FRISKY Kraken Fans!
The beginning of Spooky Season and our Seattle Kraken’s season all in one day, sometimes the stars truly align. This time maybe too well, as yes, KrakHeads, we may be sitting ducks with a scary season standing before us. But I don't give a damn cause my boys are back and gonna be buzzin'! We begin a season of absurd levels of uncertainty tonight, as I have seen us projected anywhere from locks for last place in the whole league to a fringe playoff contender. Here's the thing:

PUCK IS BACK, & Some Fun Bets!
The sports calendar may be heating up, but the cold air and ice is here! The NHL returns today with a beautiful slate of games to get us back into PUCK! Oh, and now we get an 84-game season, what a time to be alive! Of course, in honor of the first day of hockey, we have to get a bet in; otherwise, it's like, do we even have a pulse? There are some really cool bets out there today, and there is one that really freakin' has me psyched outta my mind right now. But I also have s

Barstool After Dark: Mazing Mintzy
Fall is in the air, which means we have the return of the Amazing Mintzy... no, this is not a magic act, though it could borderline be considered one with the awe we are about to be left in. Ohio's Tate & Mintzy are teaming up again to attack the world's largest maze... with a bit of a wrinkle, as they now have a lil' competition with Mikey Bets & Frank the Tank coming into town. Alright, so last year this was easily one of my & many others' favorite streams, with countless "

Week 3: Sunday Funday Parlay is on Life Support!
0-2. Yep, the Sunday Funday parlay fell again. In times like these, the awful puns, the punchy grammar, and witty quips all need to be thrown out the window. Y'all don’t want words, you want wins. Well, I’m feeling good after my CFB sweep with Malasek & Conrad, so let’s try to keep it rolling. Short & sweet, I got ya! Cool Bets Jadarian Price 2 TDs (+1100) The dude has run the ball really damn well in two games, he just hasn’t found the end zone. It’s possible the second half

College Football Parlay(s) of the Week! Ft. Jake Malasek & Danny Conrad
BANG! Last week, Green Greg delivered with our first win in the Barstool Breakdown College Football Parlay of the Week! But we cannot just sit back and get all cocky. It’s time to build upon the momentum Greg has given us! This week, we have TWO, yes, I said two special guests, and that means two plays! I thought about stacking three legs into one play, but I wanted to give both Danny Conrad and Jake Malasek their shine! Which I believe works out better for the readers, as y

The Packers’ Problems Run Deeper Than the Football Field
Well, well, well. I hate to be the guy who says I told you so. Actually, who am I kidding? I absolutely love being that guy. Back in January, after the Packers somehow turned a 21-3 halftime lead against the Bears into another embarrassing playoff exit, I wrote that extending Matt LaFleur was a terrible idea. I couldn't understand how you could watch that collapse, look at the previous playoff failures, watch this team repeatedly fold when something goes wrong and decide the

Notre Dame Football, Early Season Reactions: Strength, Weakness, It Factor
My Notre Dame Fightin' Irish are 3-0, YAY! Yes, I know "they don't ask how, they ask how many," but still, after seeing three games, I think it's a good spot to take a step back and truly see what we have and where it can go with this team in 2026... or 2027, I guess, since the ultimate goal is a late January game. If you just score watch, 41-13, 52-0, and 27-10 in rainy conditions all look very nice, but we need to dive in deeper, see what is our strength, weakness, and IT f

📈 Ryder's NFL Stock Report Through Week 2 📉
We are basically two weeks through the 2026 NFL Season. (I am writing this in the 2nd quarter of the MNF game between the Giants and Rams) There has been a great deal of drama already in the NFL through the first two weeks with upsets, hot starts, and injuries. Every few weeks, I'll post a blog with my Stock Report with a Buy section, Sell Section, and Hold section. This can be about teams, players, fantasy related, etc. BUY NOW: CINCINNATI BENGALS — Umm... folks. The Bengals

Barstool After Dark: Flag On The Play
I don't know how exactly, considering the last 7 days on Ohio Tate's schedule, but we have Barstool After Dark back in action with a banger! Quick round of applause for him being dialed in so well that he is ready for some FOOTBAW....FLAG FOOTBALL! Our Barstool favorites are ready to get hurt again as they make another attempt at the pros, this time on the gridiron as the U.S. Flag Football team comes into town. But watch out, as the Joes got a ball coach! Tuesday night, the

Week 4 Heisman Contenders
What a weekend of football it was! We had revengers, pretenders, and a whole lot of big-time players show up when their teams needed them the most. As we now begin to really dive into conference play for a lot of these teams, the cream of the crop will continue to rise as the picture for the Heisman gets clearer and clearer. Biggest Risers: Trinidad Chambliss & Lincoln Kienholz The two battled it out a couple of weeks ago and have not slowed down a bit since. Kienholz, though

Week 2: Coach Day's Sunday Funday Parlay, & a little Collab SURPRISE!
Week 1 was a heartbreaker for the parlay, as Baker Mayfield just never got the ball back with just 13 yards left to seal the deal for us. But hey, sometimes that is just how the cookie crumbles, ain't it? We must move on, short memory to get back in the game for Week 2. I've also decided why not give us a 3rd little collab of something to sprinkle with some Duke of Slips TDs! So it's a full one today between cool bets, Sunday Funday Parlay, & some TDs to sprinkle!

500 Laps Under the Lights of Bristol
NASCAR's Cup Series is at The Last Great Colosseum tonight for the Bass Pro Shops Night Race. With 500 laps, 266.5 miles, this concrete oval is the sight for the third race of The Chase. At the time of writing this, race start time is set for 6:30 central with coverage on USA. Bristol was one of Kyle Busch's best and favorite tracks.

College Football PARLAY of the Week, ft. Green Greg
WE ARE BACK! Yep, my stripes have been earned. After a horrific 0-2 start, last week was a no-sweat, how-do-you-do winner! So now that means we can get up off the bench and bring in one of Barstool's own to make the Barstool Breakdown College Football Parlay of the Week. As I searched for who could be my guy or gal, all signs pointed to one man. Someone who doesn’t just know ball, he lives and breathes it. He is the man who embraces the challenge through sickness & health to
