After an off week last week NASCAR is back today in Newton, IA for the Iowa Corn 350. This is a 0.875 mile "D" shaped oval racetrack, and is airing on USA Network with prerace coverage starting at 3pm EST, race is set to start at 3:38pm EST. Weather in Newton today is going to sunny and hot, so we shouldn't have any weather delays. Okay, enough about the race details, let's get to my picks. Brad Keselowski - Finishing Position Wrose than 13.5: Brad did qualify 4th but because

The smell of football is returning to the air as college football camps open up this week. 2026 is a big year ahead for the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, and the roster is stacked with top-tier talent, including potential 1st-rounders CJ Carr and Leonard Moore, plus many more with NFL aspirations. But what about the depth of this team? Who are the names to keep an eye on as camp ramps up over the next couple of weeks? There are always surprises and breakouts every fall. Let's ta

The near-impossible became just that due to the weather gods early this morning for Ohio’s Tate and the boys. Those Midwest summer storms are no joke, as it quickly went from rain to thunder to lightning...finally stopping the stream before the record could be achieved. A stream that looked to be in for the long haul from the jump started to gain momentum with some close calls and lots of on-the-green putts. From a journalistic standpoint, though, I did feel the frustration o

Okay, deep breaths... just let's try to take this all in. Okay, let's start. First question: how did a minor league gaming company slowly take over one of Time Magazine's top companies in American history, you ask? Well, just take a seat... Over the last 24-plus hours, after one small tweet, the Stoolie world has been turned upside down, leaving us all to be Charlie in the mailroom. Instead of focusing on answering that email from HR, getting that roof fixed, or tapping the n

When it was announced on July 15 that Brandon Walker (the multiple winner of the No. 1 College Football Personality presented by Big Game Boomer and James) would be doing a solo college football show, all I could think about was how BFW is going to take over the College Football landscape. A solo show for a guy who knows how to get fanbases riled up for better or for worse? Yeah, it's absolutely game over for everyone else. The show will air on the Brandon Walker College Foot

WE ARE BACK! Barstool After Dark is returning this week, & we are world record hunting! Ohio's Tate is getting the old flat stick back out to roll one longer than it ever has been before. Oh, & he has assembled quite the crew to join in on the fun, this is going to be can't-miss stream content! Okay, so as Tate said, they are going for the putting record this week, something they are prepared to take down. He has brought in a ragtag bunch of Oldie, Doitche, & Nicky Smokes to

As all Badger fans know, current coach Luke Fickell has worn a vest at almost every game, no matter the weather. Early September games he is in a vest and t-shirt on the side lines. (Which makes no sense because its hot as hell.) See the tweet below for a visual reference of what I'm talking about. I, like most Badger fans, will always add onto the (very long) list of reasons we don't care for Fickell, is his stupid vest. If you know me personally, I have been screaming since

You smell that?? Yep, football is beginning to perfume the air, people. NFL camps opening, trade requesting, & college football media days are all here! While others are all formulating their arguments of who is the best or who is the underdog, the true inside scoops are coming from the B10 boys: Blutman & Ohio’s Tate. Tate Cronkite & Liam Mayne(this one may be a little too niche for the public...or youngsters at least) have taken the B10 media days by storm, from confirming

Corey Heim, better known as Heim Time, just won the Brickyard 400 on Sunday. After doing his burnout, far away from the historic bricks, Corey did his classic wrist tap after getting out of his car. This celebration caused Freddie Kraft, spotter for Bubba Wallace and cohost of Door Bumper Clear podcast, asked Corey when he started doing that celebration. This brought up the fact that Large, cohost of Rubbin’ is Racing, suggested to Corey getting a watch sponsorship to toss o

We all like some good food, but who doesn't love a little Dirty Jobs & big boy machinery with our favs Chef Donny & Mike Katic? In the newest edition of Chef's "Making the Cut," we are all going down on the farm with Hall of Famer Joe Thomas, and it is a can't-miss, action-packed, beautiful inside look at life on the farm. From the former farm boy himself, it was nostalgia-maxing gold. Any normal red-blooded millennial knows all about Mike Rowe's Dirty Jobs or Giada's Everyda

Jackson Koivun has cemented his arrival to the PGA Tour with his first professional victory at the 3M Open. The 21-year-old former Auburn Tiger has had a summer many golfers couldn't even dream up, all coming together by outdueling the world's number 1 golfer & a few other major winners in getting that much-elusive first PGA title. Oh & he did so by breaking the tournament scoring record...not a big deal. For the golf fans who don't keep a close eye on the college or amateur

From Pick6 Alyssa I’ve never been more bricked up than I am for today’s Brickyard 400. Start time is 1:18 central on TNT. I am sad that this is the last of the TNT broadcasts. The Indianapolis Motor Speedway put out this great video on X, talking about the history of kissing the bricks, narrated by the first guy to do it, Dale Jarrett. Why am I excited? Not only is the racing at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, a 2.5 mile track, a great watch that always delivers, but there is

In a world of Pardon My Takes, Spittin Chiclets, & Yaks, it is at times hard to find the time in a day to watch all that the Barstool Universe gives us. With new shows dropping from talented people so often, things fall through the cracks of the social media hole we live in. I am here to give you another nudge into 3 shows on the newer side that you have to know are appointment "television." Doing the Most – Chef Donny, KB, & Nick Turani Still a very new concept with only a h

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

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

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

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

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
