Today Two Different NCAA Women's Games Featured Players Scoring on Their Own Baskets

Well now here's something you don't see every day. Northwestern State's Women's team trying to get the ball up court in the 1st quarter, facing a press, a simple cross court pass gets a [looks up nickname] Lady Demon's player turned around, and she hits a layup into her own team's understandably unc

An Italian Chef Says He Was Fired After Refusing to Put Pineapple on a Pizza

This was two years ago, right around Halloween, which explains the costumes. Joe Rogan and Elon Musk took a break from talking about space travel and whether or not we all live in a simulation long enough to discuss Dave Portnoy's pizza revues. Then ended up getting a pizza delivery with anchovies a

Prayers Up for TreVeyon Henderson, Who's Gone Public About the Neurological Symptoms He's Been Struggling With

There's been a lot of talk this season about TreVeyon Henderson, not much of it positive. Especially for a guy who planted his spear into the NFL ground in such spectacular fashion and was drawing universal praise: But so far this year, something has been ... off, with Henderson. It's been unmistaka

In a Blue Wave Everyone Can Get Behind, Drake Maye Has Been Elected AFC Offensive Player of the Month for October

My fellow Americans, this is has been a tough campaign season. Things were, at times, very contentious. The stakes were high. It took a lot of hard work. A huge grassroots effort. Volunteers going out and knocking on doors, trying to get out the vote.  And the polls weren't always looking good. Big 

The Red Baron Worker Who Told Off a Douchey Influencer is an Even Better Human Than We Realized. He's Stopped Taking Donations and Asked They Go to Needy Families instead.

There's a reason why this clip went possibly more mega-viral than any other video in 2026. And the reason goes so much deeper than just a guy telling off some twat trying to prank him for the crime of being in the same proximity.  This incident was a perfect example of the great divide that has spli

The 2-6 Jets Are Trying to Salvage Their Season by Bringing Out the Big Guns: Hannah Palmer

Stop me if you've heard this before - actually stop me if you've heard me start a blog with these exact words - the New York Jets are having a rough season. They're losing in ways that even their big offseason acquisition Minkah Fitzpatrick can't help but express his existential despair. After just 

It Took Half a Season as Chargers OC for Mike McDaniel to Find Himself on Hot Seat

I have to admit, as much as I had very little faith in Mike McDaniel's sort of Summer Camp Counselor approach to NFL head coaching, one that was shared by some of his former players: But I never doubted his skills when it came to calling an offense. Being an offensive coordinator is a totally differ

Karma: Thing are Going Great for Efton Chism. While CJ Gardner-Johnson, Who Called Him 'a Practice Squad Player,' Appears to Be Out of Work.

You really have to hand it to Efton Chism. The more the Patriots have dealt with injuries at the top of their receiver depth chart, the more opportunities he's gotten, and he's making the most of them. Sunday in Miami he led all WRs with 53 total snaps, the second most of his career. He had 5 recept

DO YOUR POD

“Do Your Pod” is a weekly show focusing on the New England Patriots featuring the same type of content Jerry Thornton has been bringing to the Barstool blog from its inception in the early 2000s. With analysis of the games, news, storylines and the sort of slanted, biased, but totally honest opinions that helped build the Barstool empire. Each week he’ll be joined by different guests, including Patriots beat writers, media people, insiders, comedians, Barstool colleagues, and anyone entertaining enough to deserve a major audience during one of the most pivotal years in the history of football’s greatest dynasty.

A Very Brady Episode: ft. El Pres, Feitelberg and Hank Lockwood: Do Your Pod Episode 21

Nick and I weren't expecting to put together another Do Your Pod so soon, but once Tom Brady's retirement news took over the world, we had no choice. We're joined by three of the brave, intrepid souls who sacrificed their freedom for Brady during the Deflategate witch hunt. Programming note: We reco

The Finale, Ft. Phil Perry: Do Your Pod Episode 20

It has obviously been a tough week to follow the Patriots. But it helped a lot to talk to NBC Sports Boston's Phil Perry. Phil and Nick and I start where you'd assume we would, slipping into metaphorical hazmat suits to clean up the radioactive waste from that meltdown in Buffalo Saturday night. We 

Onto Buffalo Ft. Matt Chatham -  Do Your Pod Episode 19

On this week's show, Nick and I are joined by our first ever former Patriots player, ex-linebacker and member of the elite Three Ring Club Matt Chatham, now of NESN.

This is a follow up to the discussion I had with Rep.

Do Your Pod ft. Barstool Legend Uncle Buck: The Future is Bright

This week's special guest to talk about the Week 1 game against Miami is none other than Barstool Founding Father Uncle Buck, who sometimes goes by his alter ego name, Adam Cormack.  Buck is the creator of features that helped put Barstool into orbit back in our infancy, including the Wake Ups and S

The OnlyFans Mom Whose Kids Got Kicked Out of Catholic School Talks to Barstool, and She Takes a Flamethrower to the Parents Who Started This War

A little over a month ago, I brought you the story of Mrs. Poindexter, otherwise known as Crystal Jackson, a mom whose kids got expelled from their Catholic school because a group of parents found her OnlyFans account and demanded they be removed: Shortly after, Crystal reached out to me to say than
