Barstool Breakdown

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

"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. While I know Barstool's biggest music peeps know exactly what I’m talking about,

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

Feeling let down by the U.S. Open, like I am? Well, we've got just the pick-me-up we all need. Ohio's Tate is chasing the Mini Major this Tuesday night on Barstool After Dark. Tate has grabbed two of Barstool's best to join in chasing the course record of 30 on one of the world's best miniature golf courses, as the ANUS boys KB & Nick Turani join this Tuesday night... NOOO, Hank will not be there, why have you already asked three times!!! Alright, Tate's video, as always, doe

Now that we are over 72 hours removed from a dominant Experts repeat, the news cycle has begun to flow about possible new rules, changes, or even teams for Season 7. While nothing was wrong with Season 6, the desire for something new is felt by players, fans, and even host Jeff D. Lowe himself. So, here are my 5 proposed changes for 2027, some can be packaged together, while others would mean a total overhaul. 1. Player Deactivation Lifeline The Dozen has teams full of assass

Season 6 is officially in the books, and not only do we have our first repeat champions, but they did it by going back-to-back as the Experts took down Uptown Balls for the crown. Brandon Walker is the king of trivia until further notice. If you haven’t gotten the chance to tune in yet, I have to tell ya, you are missing out. The night started with one of the most epic back-and-forth battles, and of course, it came down to a bit. The Markettes and Uptown Balls were playing ou

Some are already saying it could be the best Dozen tournament of all time, & it has now set up an all-time final four with what I believe are four of the major fan favorites in the league. What looked to be setting up for all chalk tonight, the madness found the Dozen. The Markettes & Grinders found their way to the final four after two of their best matches, giving us a perfect balance of top seeds & cinderella stories Thursday night. The two teams involved in the major offs

Alright, let me start with: all parties involved are my guys, from Mikey Bets to Dante, Danny Conrad to Doitche. Sooo yes, a pro-Shrinkage blog is incoming. If you have a problem with that, you can kindly GTFO, but thanks for the view. Okay, so on The Yak today, Danny Conrad mentioned to Dante about the incoming segment for Shrinkage tonight to hash out the battle of Smokes vs. The Don. Just a slight reminder to be ready for the show. He even stated how Dante thumbed-up the m

Vanilla Ice Cream & Apple Pie, Barstool Sports & NFL Sunday, Summer & Baseball; it seems you can never have one without the other. Well, in the small town of Sanford, Maine, you feel like time has frozen as Vacationland shows it's much more than just lobsters & coastal vibes(not that I'm complaining). The Mainers play every summer in the New England Collegiate Baseball League, & it is truly Summer Catch in every way you want it to be. Via @ShotsByChanty Instagram Via @ShotsBy

What a day of trivia to kickoff the tournament! And don't forget, before you panic if your favorite went down, they aren't quite out though! The 8 teams are now split into winner & loser brackets, with the winners only one win away from the Final Four, while the losers are looking to work their way back for a spot themselves. Losers Bracket: Win or go home! #3 Minihane vs. #7 Chicago 1st Round Results: Minihane: 9-15 L vs. #6 Booze Ponies Chicago: 9-15 L vs. #2 Uptown Balls B

Do you find yourself missing the playoffs now that the NBA Finals are finished? NO WORRIES! The Dozen Playoffs are here! On Monday, the first round of the double-elimination tournament gets underway, leading up to Thursday's final four live show to crown the Season 6 champions. Also to get the playoff capsules for each team, check out this blog [https://www.barstoolbreakdown.com/post/dozen-trivia-playoff-capsules-odds-predictions], but you are here for the matchups & keys to

Summer is officially here, and while you could jump onto another lame “reality” binge show, why not find one of Barstool's newest pods instead? It's the perfect mix of reality and old-school radio call-ins: Shrinkage. Mikey Bets and Danny Conrad are the perfect duo to tackle the problems of the average American in 2026. The boys give a mix of great advice, truth pills, and sarcasm that delivers vintage morning radio show vibes. Mikey Bets is a man who not only survived the wr

The Dozen Trivia Season 6 playoff bracket has arrived! With less than a week until we kick off the madness in Chicago, which finishes off with a live Final Four on Thursday the 18th, let’s dive into the bracket to see the matchups and each squad’s chances. First, a quick reminder on the format: it is double elimination to get to the Final Four before it becomes a single-elimination match play to crown a champion on the 18th. Which, by the way, as someone who is now heading to

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

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

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

The calendar may be telling us there are still a few days left before summer officially starts, but I’m here to say tonight marks it for the ball knowers! EA Sports College Football 27 has dropped all of its new content right into our laps to digest for the next month as we now anxiously await the release. If you missed out on the drop, no worries, I have the rundown of all the major changes coming to CFB 27... and boy, did they cook with this one! Gameplay We complained and

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

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

The Play-In tournament starts TONIGHT as the Ice Dawgs (-2.5) take on the Red Team (+115), so today I will be making my picks and analyzing the hypothetical upcoming matches. Ice Dawgs vs Red Team Stats to know: Ice Dawgs hit Big 4 sports at a 64% clip vs only 36% for Red Team Red Team is one of the worst bonus round teams, only winning 25% of the time, while Ice Dawgs are closer to league average, winning 50% of the time Red Teams best category: College Football (75%) Ice Da
