Kai Trump’s golf rise takes new turn as Dave Portnoy teases significant update

Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy has dropped a hint that could dramatically reshape Kai Trump's golf journey, saying "big news" is coming in the wake of the controversial ending of his $1 million Internet Invitational. The comment follows a fraught finale that saw two separate cheating allegations, and Portnoy's cryptic message has fans and critics alike guessing what his next play might be.The finale, held at the Barstool Internet Invitational, drew heavy criticism after Paige Spiranac was accused of improving a lie on the course - and Malosi "Mo" Togisala faced allegations of using the slope function on his rangefinder, a move Portnoy explicitly banned before the event. The controversies overshadowed the match finish and left a stain on what was marketed as a high-stakes, content-driven tournament.Portnoy's tease comes amid that chaos: while speaking about the broadcast and its fallout, […]

Cathy Engelbert faces backlash as Caitlin Clark’s Nike deal highlights gender pay disparities

When Dave Portnoyrecently expressed outrage over Caitlin Clark's eight-year, $28 million Nike contract, he wasn't just criticizing a shoe deal. He saw it as emblematic of a deeper structural issue: that the WNBA, and its leadership, is failing to fully capitalize on its brightest stars."This is now," Portnoy said. "You have to take advantage of it now." He warned that "commissioners are always in the middle and commissioners are always going to take the brunt of what the owners don't want to feel." Then he turned his attention to Clark's deal: "She got screwed. If you look back at it ... they're paying Devin Booker, I think, $40 million a year. So in what universe is Devin Booker worth $40 million a year and Caitlin's worth eight? It's insane."For context, Clark signed that agreement with Nike just days after the […]

Dave Portnoy has again turned his spotlight toward the WNBA, this time taking aim at Commissioner Cathy Engelbert's handling of remarks about star rookie Caitlin Clark, going as far as to suggest Clark could simply launch her own league.Portnoy's reaction comes in the wake of a blistering statement by Minnesota Lynx forward Napheesa Collier, who alleged that during private conversations Engelbert told her that Clark "should be grateful she makes $16 million off the court because without the platform the WNBA gives her, she wouldn't make anything." Caitlin Clark proves she's the baby whispererCollier also claimed Engelbert said that players "should be on their knees thanking their lucky stars for the media rights deal that I got them." Collier's broad critique of league leadership further included, "We have the best players in the world. We have the best fans in […]

Caitlin Clark’s marketability compared to Angel Reese gains support from prominent figures

Caitlin Clark's impact on the WNBA extends beyond her performance on the court. Since entering the league as the top pick in the 2024 draft, the Indiana Fever guard has rapidly become a central figure in discussions about the league's visibility, viewership growth, and commercial appeal. While fellow rookie Angel Reese has garnered notable endorsement deals and national attention, Clark has drawn increasing praise from public figures who view her as the most marketable athlete in the WNBA.Clark's influence was made particularly evident when Ice Cube, the founder of the Big3 League, offered her a $10 million contract, an unprecedented move in women's basketball. In a later interview, he explained the rationale behind the offer: "She's a great player... The thing with Caitlin Clark was to unlock millions of dollars for the league because of her stardom... what our sponsors […]

How many more rings can Mahomes chase?

Patrick Mahomes recently commemorated the fifth anniversary of his groundbreaking contract extension with the Kansas City Chiefs, a moment that reignited spirited conversations about his future. The post prompted fans and analysts alike to ask: with three Lombardi Trophies already under his belt, how many more could Mahomes realistically chase before his prime winds down?He signed that massive tenyear, $450 million deal in July 2020-an enormous leap of faith from both him and the organization. Fast forward to today, and Mahomes has delivered in every conceivable way. Three Super Bowl victories (LIV, LVII, LVIII), three Super Bowl MVP awards, and two regular-season MVPs (2018, 2022) later, and he ranks among the most accomplished signal callers ever.Yet, with recent setbacks, including the Chiefs' lopsided Super Bowl LIX loss to Philadelphia, voices have begun speculating whether his window of dominance is narrowing.

Portnoy reignites old Geno Auriemma remark amid Clark’s WNBA breakout

Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy recently spotlighted a controversial comment from legendary Connecticut coach Geno Auriemma, resurfacing a critique about Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark's fit in the WNBA. Clark's impressive 32-point, 9-assist, 8-rebound performance in her return from a quad strain ignited a tidal wave of support-and gave Portnoy an opening to spotlight Auriemma's words from a June 6 appearance on The Dan Patrick Show.In that discussion, Auriemma cautioned that anticipation around Clark might be inflated. "The delusional fan base that follows her disrespected the WNBA players by saying she's going to go in that league and tear it apart," he said. He added that veterans like Diana Taurasi warned Clark was unprepared for the pro-level physicality: "This kid's in for a rude awakening... she's got the wrong skill set to handle the physicality of that league."
