Rico Bosco Turns On Steven Cheah And Hank On Pick'Em Week 3

Rico Bosco went cold on Big Cat mid-taping and started throwing haymakers at Steven Cheah and Hank, and the clips are spreading across every Barstool account.

  1. Big Cat asks Rico point-blank if he's still mad at Steven Cheah; Rico says he'll just never root for the Bucs again, and El Pres calls it out as proof Cheah's the bad guy

    Barstool Pick'Em is supposed to be Dave Portnoy, Big Cat and Rico Bosco arguing about college football spreads, not each other. Week 3 blew that up. Somewhere in the taping Rico stopped answering Big Cat and physically turned his back on him, and once the clip hit Barstool's gambling account it was off to the races.

    The freeze-out traces back to Steven Cheah, a fellow Barstool personality Rico has clearly not made peace with. Big Cat pressed him on it directly on camera, and Rico's answer wasn't a denial — it was a threat about switching allegiances entirely.

    “Are you telling me right now that you’re not mad at Steven Cheah after all that?” -@BarstoolBigCat “No. I’ll just never root for the Bucs again” -@Return_Of_RB “What a threat! I told you he was a bad guy” -@stoolpresidente

  2. Rico snaps at Hank on set, telling him he doesn't know where Hank's been all summer and that Hank jumped ship just as hard

    "I'll just never root for the Bucs again" is the kind of line that sounds small until you remember Cheah's Bucs fandom is basically his whole public identity at Barstool. Pres calling it "a threat" wasn't a joke — that's Rico weaponizing a grudge in the pettiest way possible, and it worked as a soundbite because it's exactly the kind of unbothered shot Rico's built his radio-guy persona on.

    Cheah wasn't the only target. Rico turned the same energy on his own co-host mid-segment, accusing Hank of bandwagon-hopping over the summer while the cameras kept rolling.

    That's two separate feuds surfacing in the same episode, and Barstool's fanbase noticed the pile-on happening in real time. Even the noticeably absent voices got dragged into it, with fans calling out Rico's usual defenders for being missing in action while the clips spread.

    Sad that @DerikChat is busy doing a stream right now and not out here in the streets defending his guy Rico when he needs it the most…

    Rico's only been back in the Pick'Em chair since the start of this season, and he's already turned Week 3 into the most talked-about episode of the year for reasons that have nothing to do with picks. Whether this cools off by Week 4 or turns into a running bit is the only question left — either way, Big Cat's going to have his hands full refereeing it.
