Barstool After Dark: Fasoli's Nightmare
last night on Barstool After Dark, Fasoli's nightmares came to life as the newest crop of interns shook the Stoolie world with their knowledge...or lack thereof, on Barstool Sports history. It left Fasoli and the Stoolie world feeling stunned and disrespected, while launching a major debate: should new employees have (or at least feel) a connection to Barstool, or just be good at their jobs? The short answer? Both. During the Intern Olympics, the Viva leader Nick Fasoli gave

Barstool Bush Gaming Deserves Sponsors!
Okay, let me start this off with a blanket statement of not understanding the gaming world one damn bit! BUT with that said, even with my blatant constant confusion or lack of understanding on how or when Bush Gaming balls out, one thing I do understand fully is clicks, comments, & content. Which Bush without a doubt seems to create in their own unique ways, whether it's creating international disruptions or inter-business catfights, they get views! Sooooo my question is: how

Barstool After Dark: Summer Olympics Are Back
While yes, we usually have to wait every 4 years for the Olympics, Barstool After Dark is here to save us from the dog days of summer & lack of sports. This week is all about competition in Chicago as Ohio's Tate & the After Dark crew are bringing us the interns in dramatic fashion, competing against each other for the chance at glory, and most likely a banner, if we are being honest here. Tate, as always, does a great job in previewing the night, with 12 of the interns compe

Was North Wilkesboro A Good Race?
From Pick6 Alyssa Before I share my opinion, you have to know that I only got into racing last year. I am no expert and my opinion on this really means nothing. Things I liked about North Wilkesboro: • Timing. From green flag to checkered flag the race was 2 hours, 50 minutes, and 54 seconds. As someone who bartends at a small Wisconsin Dive bar on Sunday nights, I loved the start time of this race and how long the race was. There wasn’t much on for sports last night a

Pick6 Alyssa Calls Her Shot for Window World 450
From Pick6 Alyssa For the first time in my lifetime NASCAR is at North Wilkesboro Speedway tonight for a Cup Series points race. This is a .625 mile track. The broadcast is on TNT at 7pm EST. There has been a lot of excitement about NASCAR returning to this track, and based on what I understand, Dale Earnhardt Jr. is largely to thank for that. Last week, my Pick6 lineup won me 51.1x. I’m hoping to hit the Pick6 Purple again this week with my picks. PICKS FOR WINDOW WORLD 450

My 154th Open Experience
As The Open continues on this weekend, I have returned stateside after my travels of about 2 weeks in the UK centered around Scotland & my first not only in-person golf tournament but major & Open Championship at Royal Birkdale. An amazing adventure that included golfing at the 5th oldest course in the world & chillin with some highland cows. Still, somehow the awe of Birkdale & The Open Championship took the cake, every golf fan has to find a way to get out there at least on

Barstool After Dark: Dingers Derby
Alright, so I’m going to do my best on this one, I’m playing a road game from Scotland... Anyway, Barstool After Dark, coming off a national championship in record time, now heads out to the diamond as the dog days of summer have arrived. It is time to hit some DINGERS! This year will be a little different from years past, when we have seen different home run derby formats. Instead, we will see something in the realm of knockout in basketball, as 8 competitors will be dwindle

Love'em, Hate'em, Rone & Keegs KNOW Content
It has now been a couple of days... I think being on Scotland time has my days all clustered up, but anyways, it's been what has felt like a couple of days since Rone stirred the pot in New York with his comments about the lack of content coming out of the East Coast office. This then started a chain reaction through Stoolie Nation felt on all accords, with Kelly Keegs drumming at the front line in favor of NYC. A battle which has seen action from all ranks...the President hi

Barstool After Dark: All-American Sparty
As we vastly approach the 20 hour mark of a championship quest for Ohio’s Tate & Liam Blutman the game has been flipped on its head with their newest job in East Lansing! After a sluggish start of 1-11 and then losing too an FCS the boys somehow failed upwards from Monroe to Corvallis to Waco and Big 12 Baylor. It was there where it looked like Magic was in the making until the playoff committee decided to play god a bit too hard snubbing the Bears from the playoffs. The stin

Barstool After Dark: ULM to a National Championship
It's always nice to see a champion give back, return to the underdog, and build another legacy. Well, Ohio's Tate is ready to do just that. On this week's Barstool After Dark, we have the return to the sidelines on Saturdays with the release of EA College Football 27. It is time for Tate and new ball coach Liam Blutman to go for the pinnacle of college football once again: a national championship. If we have sadly forgotten the Morgantown Miracle, the San Jose State recruitin

A 250th Celebration!
From 1776 to 2026, America, in its still very young existence, has made such a deep historical impact in so many ways. Today, though, is not about anything but celebrating all that has come from our humble beginnings as colonies into the now two-time world war champs & 60-straight Super Bowl Champions we have become! As a history buff & teacher, yes, I know this union is not a perfect one, but to those around the world, I say: be careful throwing stones in a glass house, bud!

Rediscovering America: A 250th Celebration
With America turning 250 this weekend, you may want to grill some burgers, catch a game of baseball, or watch fireworks, but to truly get into the spirit of '76, none of those will do justice. Instead, you need to get into the country's humble beginnings to understand the impact of 250 years. I can't think of any better way than to get the whole group on the couch & flip on Rediscovering America as they give you the truest inside look into the heart of Philly, the birthplace

The Ja Morant Era In Memphis Is Officially Over
After seven seasons in the 901, the Ja Morant era has officially closed as of Monday afternoon. ESPN's Shams Charania broke the news on Twitter. I've got a lot of thoughts on the breakup between what should have been the best player in franchise history and the Grizzlies. First, let's talk about the details of the trade that sent the two-time All-Star to the Portland Trail Blazers. Memphis sent Morant in exchange for Jerami Grant and Kris Murray.

Seattle Kraken Draft Report
It truly was a whirlwind of a week for the Seattle Kraken and their fans. They went from being, sadly, the laughingstock of the hockey world for a few hours, all the way to putting together what is now being widely considered not only the franchise's best draft, but also one of, if not the, top draft in the league this year. So yes, while we were one of what now seems to be many teams spurned by All-Star Jason Robertson, this draft still shows the future is very much bright i

Barstool Office & Possibly the Internet Put on Notice
Ben Mintz is no longer taking the hits laying down, folks. Under the Barstool NWO group with Nicky Smokes & Brandon Walker, he has announced that the shit-kicking will no longer be taken without retaliation. After an insider video(posted below) was acquired by Barstool star Ohio's Tate showing Smokes and Mintz planning their next move following the creation of their newest "bad boy" image alliance, you cannot help but think the Barstool office will be checking their backs in

Our Summer's Need Van's Warped Tour BACK!
"Acting stupid, getting drunk with my best friends, I couldn't wait for the summer and the Warped Tour." Blink-182 and so many others know that with the dog days of summer staring us in the face through those sunny, warm skies, I can’t help but think there is something missing. The true emo heads know where I’m going with this one: Vans Warped Tour. The summer's pinnacle event for over 20 years.

Grizzlies Begin Their Rebuild with Two First Round Selections
It was another tough season in the 901 as a Memphis Grizzlies fan, but Tuesday's draft results might have made the long winter worth everything. In a year that the Grizzlies were hoping to at least compete for a spot in the Western Conference playoffs, it turned into a disaster with another injury to Ja Morant, Zach Edey, and pretty much every other player on the roster. The Grizzlies parted ways with Desmond Bane during the summer, shipping him off to Orlando for a haul of p
