Legend of Stage and Screen Patrick Stewart Has Died at the Age of 86

It's hard to find a more universally admired entertainer than Sir Patrick Stewart. An artist of such impressive talent that he made a name for himself as a teenager in 1959, on the English stage after training at the Old Vic Theatre School in England. Then joined the Royal Shakespeare Company in 196

AJ Brown Admitting He's 'Pushing Through' His Ankle Injury is Less Than Ideal

I'm not exactly dispensing any great wisdom you can't get from any sports radio caller high on Gummies behind the wheel when I point out things haven't gone as planned with the Patriots wide receiver corps. The decision to keep six wideouts on the roster turned out to be a godsend, since they've all

The Chiefs Might Be DONE with 2nd Year LT Josh Simmons After Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes Kick Him Out of a Meeting. Bonus: Mike Vrabel Took a Hard Pass on Him.

Say what you will about how hard it is to hit a fastball with movement, stop a 100 mph slapshot, or break par at a US Open. All of those are tough. But there's possibly nothing in sports with a lower success rate than evaluating NFL draft talent. Particularly when trying to assess whether some young

'No Girl Code': The War Between Victoria's Secret Models Candice Swanepoel and Joan Smalls Over Tom Brady Has Escalated

Begun, the Lingerie Models Wars have. Like most of the Eurasian continent in the early 20th century, Victoria's Secrets models are all sharing an uneasy peace, held together with a complex web of treaties, pacts, alliances, competing interests, regional disputes an simmering rivalries. So now, as in

All Hell Breaks Loose Among Parents at a 12-Year-Olds Softball Game

If there's one lesson that gets drilled into the heads of America's young athletes today over and over again, it's that girls can do anything the boys can do. Whether that's true or not, is up for debate.  I mean, I'm not here to crush anyone's dreams. But basic human biology gets a say in this disc

Dan Orlovsky Saying He Just Discovered One of the Most Basic Concepts in Math is an All Time Admission

Back in the day, when Howard Stern was in his prime, he did a recurring bit that was funny in a way that unfunny, irrelevant Howard Stern of the 2020s would be appalled by. He'd have a beautiful woman like a Playboy Playmate or adult film star on and have them play "The Stripper Knowledge Game," whe

Raiders Owner Tom Brady is Using His Fox Gig to Make Things Painfully Awkward for the NFL and its Bad Officials

The vast majority of people voluntarily step away from their careers in order to do less. In fact, it's the entire premise of retirement. To relax, enjoy the fruits of your labor, live off your savings, your pension, and government checks, and try to spend it all before you die. But if Tom Brady has

After a Bad Game in Seattle, Now's the Time to Panic About Patrick Mahomes, Right? Is That How This is Supposed to Work?

Let's try a thought experiment. Assume for a moment I don't know how the NFL works. Maybe I just moved here from a foreign country that only has futbol. Or I've beamed here from an alien planet to learn human customs. Or I'm an unfrozen caveman:  … and I've only been observing your kind since the be

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.

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
