Barstool Breakdown

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

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

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

An Obligatory hello to all my fellow Stoolies who will be reading this as this is my first blog on the Barstool Breakdown site. First off want to thank Sands, Frankie, Coach Day, and the rest of the breakdown boys (and girl) for letting me contribute to what already is a great site, and I hope to bring a fun spin on both Barstool news and news in the sporting world. If you care to learn any more about me and the person behind the pen (keyboard), you can find my socials linked

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. A

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. Broscious early on in his career fought lots of adversity with some bad luck injuri

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

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

People always claim that Monday is the worst day, but not when comes to the Barstool Universe this week. Kicking things off will be one of the top After Dark streams of all-time following The Yak on Monday afternoon with a Last To Leave challenge that you can read about from Coach Day here. However, over the next three days, fans of the historic TV game show Family Feud and Barstool will get the best of both worlds as four teams of four will gather together for a chance to be

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

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

The fans were clamoring, pleading, & impatiently waiting for the return of Barstool After Dark... well, it is SOOOO BACK! Partnering with DraftKings, we have ourselves a good old-fashioned "last person standing" for a BIG PRIZE! 22 of Barstool's craziest...maybe even neediest characters will all be in one room with only one prize on the line. That's right, stoolies: if you ain't first, you're last. Ohio's Tate, Lucas, & new committee member Nick Turani were given the keys by

CUE THE MUSIC! The candles were in full effect for this one! According to multiple reports, including Zags insider Andy Patton, Massamba Diop is a Gonzaga Bulldog! This means Mark Few has now gone 2-for-2 with his top targets in the portal! ZAGS GOT DUDES! For those who don't know Diop, he is a 7'1", 230-pound center that will pair oh-so-nicely next to Braden Huff this upcoming winter. As a Sun Devil, he averaged 13 & 6, and he already projects as a potential lottery pick in

We have a big week ahead in the Dozen Trivia League with a potential elimination game to kick things off. With May beginning, we are only a month away from the playoffs. Jeff D. Lowe hinted last week that teams only have one or two matches left to prove they belong or to solidify their seeds. Tuesday Night #13 Ice Dawgs (1-3) vs. #12 Hoagies (1-3) We have an early elimination match on our hands. With only a few matches left, barring a miracle, the loser of this match will hav

With 2026 off to such a busy start for Barstool, Barstool After Dark's host Ohio's Tate not only hasn't been immune to the content and numbies blast, but really has led the charge in many ways. Of course, with that being said, due to all of his new assignments, After Dark has had to miss a few weeks here and there, including this upcoming Tuesday...so we will have to patiently hold tight until next Tuesday for a new edition of our favorite late-night antics. Now, while I unde

With my wife’s job taking us to Portland, Maine for the summer, I have started to settle in lately and find the spots to continue my hobby of card collecting. This past weekend, I got to take in my first East Coast card show and did not leave empty-handed. Now, I’m not a complete “noob” when it comes to Portland, as my wife has worked here on and off over the past four years. I already had one spot I knew about, Don’s Sports Cards, a great place to check out on a slow summer

This past Saturday, Notre Dame Stadium was rocking like it's fall already as the Irish took the field in front of a packed house to finish up the spring schedule. In an offense vs. defense setup, the defense made a late comeback in the 12-series game, but it was the special teams that stole the show in the end. Purdue transfer Spencer Porath hit the game-winning FG to give the offense the win, ending what has been characterized as a competitive & improving spring. CJ Carr led

X (formerly Twitter) and its leader, Elon Musk, need to give us answers. The personal vendetta against Ohio’s Tate and his plight to give the world much-needed news in the moment is glaring. First, he was hit with a shadowban in the midst of delivering crucial, life-changing drama stories as they unfolded. Now, he has been taken off the creator revenue sharing program. I can’t help but question what X and Musk have against Ohio. He has been grinding for over a week now with l

FINALLY!!! Kahan Krazies, we have our new full-length album release. All the teasers, live songs, and guest spots that held us over are no longer needed. Noah Kahan’s new album, The Great Divide, dropped at midnight, and I am here to give you the inside scoop on his new sound. With two singles already out before this full drop, including the title song "Great Divide," which was a banger release to draw us into his new album we have 15 new songs to dive into. I will give you m

Even with Barstool Spring Break House taking over the internet, the National Football League will try to reinsert its dominance with the 2026 NFL Draft beginning tonight in Pittsburgh. It's a day that should be a national holiday with NFL draft nerds and fans gathering together to see what player NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell will announce for their team. I'll be honest, I haven't looked into a ton of the top prospects with the Packers not having a first round pick this year
