Dave Portnoy and the Barstool Sports team just made television history in the worst possible way. On a recent episode of Celebrity Family Feud, they faced off against the family of Dallas Mavericks star Cooper Flagg and lost 543-0, marking the most lopsided defeat in the show’s thirteen-season run. The shutout was complete and total—Team Barstool failed to score a single point across four categories, from a TSA dog scenario at the airport to what makes pizza good. It’s the kind of performance that feels almost unreal, like they were playing a completely different game than everyone else.
The most memorable moment came when Dave Portnoy answered“big d*ck”in response to one of the categories, an answer that caught host Steve Harvey so off guard that he was momentarily speechless. Harvey later apologized to Flagg’s mother, and the awkward exchange became the defining moment of the entire competition. What’s fascinating about this loss isn’t just the numbers—it’s the contrast between Barstool’s online reputation as confident commentators and their complete inability to find a single answer that matched the board during live competition.
This moment will live in internet infamy, and honestly, it raises a fun question: Have you ever seen someone completely bomb at something they seemed supremely confident about? The gap between online personas and real-world performance is always entertaining, and Barstool just gave us the most extreme example possible.
