Tate Should Be Ashamed After Not Benching One Rep of 135 at the Barstool Combine!!!!

The annual Barstool Sports Combine went down yesterday afternoon in the Chicago office. Thanks to our friends at Planet Fitness for sponsoring the event.

This year, I was not at a final table of a big poker tournament so at least Dave Portnoy did not get pissed off at me. That is a W.

As always, the usual random crew of non-athletes did their best to put on a show for the loyal Stoolies.

There are always some embarrassing moments with this crew but none comes even close to Ohio's Tate trying to bench press.

Tate could not even get ONE FREAKING REP of 135 pounds up?!?!? And this man was a high school coach for YEARS. How the hell is that even possible?!?!?

At least he already has a shoe in for another Barstool After Dark challenge after this abomination. How he can hold his head high walking around the office after this is beyond me.....

Some of the highlights were Max, KB & Smokes putting on a show on the bench. Jersey Jerry has the quickest first step at Barstool and showed out in the 40 and the lineman drills.

I ran a 6.72 40 yard "dash" & benched 135 9 times.... not great but at least we battling. Not very fast for a Speed Demon tho.

But the man of the hour as usual was none other than Big Cat who easily won the QB challenge to become the 2025 Barstool Combine Champion. 

This has to be the crowning achievement of his illustrious career.
