The 2026 UFL United Bowl didn't just give football fans a championship — it gave Barstool's football guys a full tape session worth of material. Steven Cheah and Liam Blutman sat down to break down the best plays from the game, the kind of segment that separates the people who actually watch the film from the people who just tweet about it. With the UFL's United Football League logo overhead and real game footage spliced in, this wasn't a hot-take recap. This was two guys who care about the sport doing what they do.

The clip has exactly what you want out of this kind of segment — game footage of the plays, two guys who have opinions, and no filler. You can see the UFL field markings, the jerseys, the chaos of a live ball situation. The UFL has been building its credibility game by game, and having Barstool's football voices treat the United Bowl like it deserves serious film-room attention is the kind of coverage the league needs heading into the offseason.
Meanwhile, the championship weekend content didn't stop at the studio. Barstool had boots on the ground at the venue too — in matching Junkless Protein shirts and white caps, no less. The sideline presence was fully locked in, with the scoreboard and stadium backdrop making it feel like a proper championship weekend operation.

And then there's the other half of championship weekend: Katic and Dana Beers making the trip to Washington DC to take a shot at the Cup Snake record. The Cup Snake — for the uninitiated — is exactly what it sounds like: a chain of stacked plastic cups built out at a stadium, passed overhead through a crowd. It's a legitimate fan tradition at this point, and setting the record is a genuine achievement. Katic and Dana rolled into DC with their Junkless Protein branding and their best intentions, which is honestly the most Barstool way to attempt a world record you can possibly imagine.

Championship weekends used to just be about the games. Now they're content ecosystems — studio breakdowns, sideline bits, stadium stunts, all running simultaneously. Barstool had the UFL United Bowl covered from every angle: Cheah and Blutman in the film room, and Katic and Dana Beers out in the wild chasing history. That's the whole operation right there.
