Josh Allen's Story Still To Be Written
Another mid-to-late January of agony for Josh Allen & the Buffalo Bills is upon us. Just when you thought there couldn’t be another way to see one of sports’ top athletes of all time have his heart ripped from his chest… a new level has been unlocked. For Allen, you can’t help but feel gutted whether you’re a Bills fan, a football fan, or just a casual observer. He is, across the board, one of the most likable yet scrutinized QBs of this generation. But today, instead, my que

My Case to Take Over Barstool Basketball
I am writing my official statement to GM Mark Titus , as well as owners Barstool Big Cat & Brandon Walker , that I am ready to take over the coaching position of Barstool Basketball . Yes, by saying this I fully understand the implications this may have if it reaches the eyes of Mikey Bets. I am fully prepared for the wrath that could come my way by ultimately ending up on the "list" . All that being said, I am willing to put myself in harm’s way to fix this dumpster fire t

Sony Open Preview
GOLF IS BACK! This week, the news of Brooks Koepka returning to the PGA Tour & also three hole-in-ones from Barstool After Dark have been the perfect lead-up into our 1st event of the 2026 PGA Tour season! Starting a week later with no Sentry Tournament of Champions event, we still get the Hawaiian views in the background to get us into our golf mindset yet again. Though some of the biggest names won’t be on the island this week, we are still in store for a great first we

Marcus Freeman 2026 Portal Tour IS ON!
Notre Dame football & Marcus Freeman have gone from being questioned, poked at, & mocked all over the internet to flexing their muscles yet again all over the college football world. Over the past 48 hours they have managed to sign not one, two, or three...but six of the top transfer prospects in college football. Oh, & they are far from done yet. The avalanche of commitments just started with the #3 WR in the portal, former 5-star Ohio State Buckeye 6'4" Quincy Porter . Whi

Matt LaFleur Is Going To Get An Extension After Costing The Packers Another Season
What a past 72 hours for fans of the Green Bay Packers. All of it started on Saturday morning, when the report from Ian Rapaport surfaced that head coach Matt LaFleur was not coaching for his job on Saturday night in Chicago, as the Packers and Bears were scheduled to face off in the Wild Card round at Soldier Field. I don't really need to remind you what proceeded to happen later that evening, but let's just say that once the clock hit zero in the fourth quarter, I was read

48 Hours...IT Was ONLY 48 hours!
Ohio's Tate , take a bow & book yourself a spa day, it has been earned. The NatGeo doc filmed, directed, & produced all by Tate, starring Ben Mintz, is coming to a close this afternoon with what could be one of the saddest lazy river trips known in existence. The last 48 hours all came together in an instant classic of a Fiesta Bowl, with Mintz’s Ole Miss just falling short to Miami, clinching a spot in the national championship. Somehow though, the game still felt like i

Notre Dame Fans Listen...Goosfraba...Goosfraba
Notre Dame fans & hell, why not the haters too, it’s time we all take a collective deep breath. As the transfer portal officially opened just less than a week ago, players have begun to take visits & make commitments. In this short time, Irish X (Twitter) has gone into a full breakdown frenzy after a couple of potential targets didn’t even make it on campus. I’m here to say… Goosfraba people… Goosfraba. Look, do we want all of the best of the best in the Blue & Gold? Yes. Sti

Barstool After Dark On The Road: Mintzy In the Fiesta Bowl
2026 is off to a hot start for Ben Mintz as Ole Miss has made a run in the College Football Playoffs into the semifinals at the Fiesta Bowl in Glendale, Arizona. Now for those who just think it’s yet again Mintz finding a way to win, this is much, much more trust me. No longer will we just be getting grainy or blurry videos of Mintzy hugging random guys, walking on a sideline waving randomly, barely hearing him give a preview with a field in the back, or day-late game reacti

Week 18: Sunday Funday Parlay & Cool Bets
We have reached the final week of the NFL regular season. One that can be very tricky to bet, with teams already clinched into the playoffs or, on the flip side, eliminated. You then throw in all of the bonuses/incentives that players have tied to their contracts, and there are a lot of moving parts to think about. So with all of this swirling around our heads, it is important to keep it simple & smart with your choices to close out the season. Let’s take a look at the cool b

Ole Miss the Unlikeliest of Heroes Saves CFB Playoffs
The main event of the college football quarterfinals today was brought back to life by a game of the season candidate after Ole Miss upset Georgia 39–34. The day started really as bad as it could for college football, with a combined score of 61–3 in two snoozers. But Hotty Toddy pulled the rabbit outta their hat with QB Trinidad Chambliss leading the way. In what is the most unlikely suitor to win it all, really only ahead of the G5 schools, the Rebels now find themselves w

New Years CFB Playoff Preview & Best Bets
Happy New Year’s, goodbye 2025, welcome in 2026. As most people are struggling to wake up into the new year after a wild late night to ring it in, I instead am here to make today’s 3 glorious playoff game day much easier to understand through your harsh reality of a devilish hangover setting in. Before I slide into the games, I do have one gripe. We used to get 5 to 6 big bowl games to help us into the new year, now we are down to three & instead are getting random games tomo

The Telluride Bush Make Noise In The Competitive Gaming Space Right Away, Staying #UNshaven!
As we approach the end of 2025 the stock that is hot on the Barstool Block is the Telluride Bush. A venture that 3 owners believed heavily in before actually getting it off the ground. Jersey Jerry , Mook and Sas teamed up and founded the Bush August 7th of this year. Next steps would be finding the proper talent to make themselves a real competitor in the space! They would turn this into a tryout allowing players who found themselves worthy of being a part of the organizati

Countdown to New Years: Barstool’s Best Moments of 2025
As my end-of-the-year series continues to pay tribute to the year 2025 gave us, I am turning back to more of a Barstool-centric review & though Santa has come & gone, he may have left a bag of goodies for me to still give out to all the stoolies. As we begin to countdown the hours till 2026, it is only right to take a close look at Barstool's best moment(s) of the year. Of course it is hard to pinpoint that one moment that all encompasses (big words may be the thing of 2026?)

Marcus Freeman Declines NFL and Remains With Irish
I don’t think the Notre Dame faithful were surprised with the Monday afternoons notification's. Heavy speculations of Marcus Freeman’s departure were coming from non Notre Dame sources. So it was really no surprise to the fans to see this news break. So what does this mean? I think the goal is pretty simple and at this point in the program I would consider very obtainable. National Championship trophy or nothing at all, the standard at Notre Dame for a very long time. This pl

Week 17: Sunday Funday Parlay & Cool Bets
Well, Christmas Day we stuck to the season theme of giving, as we gave Vegas oh so many gifts. A complete flop that I greatly apologize for. What gave me a little immediate solace was seeing I was not alone in the meltdown, as many experienced a similar downfall. The good thing is we always get another day. This, though, is most likely the final data-driven weekend, with the last weekend of the season always so unpredictable with who will or won’t play. So we must take advant
