Zach Bryan has taken a direct shot at his ex-girlfriend, Brianna “Chickendry” LaPaglia, and Barstool Sports.
The feud between the country music sensation and the sports media entity appeared to have died down, as there was no activity going back to last November. However, Bryan reignited the feud this week, and in the literal sense, too, lighting a Barstool Sports flag on fire before teeing off on it.
Check it out in the video below:
The reason for this latest outburst from Zach is unknown, but it’s hardly a secret that he’s had serious beef with Barstool, with owner Dave Portnoy repeatedly going at him on the back of the breakup.

LaPaglia accused the singer of emotional abuse while revealing she turned down a $12 million NDA that would have prevented her from speaking about their relationship after the breakup.
She took to Instagram after he was shown burning the flag, responding in a few posts, one of which read, “Nurse, he’s loose again.” Another showed a screenshot of her searching for information on how to file a restraining order.
“I’ve never woken up and had, like, the urge to burn something,” she also said in a video posted to TikTok.
“I don’t think that’s a normal thing to — have you guys ever woken up being like, ‘I have to burn something right now,” she added. “Or else I would implode if I don’t burn something and light it on fire and cause chaos and mass destruction?’ No. Evil villains do that.”
It appears the beef is well and truly back on, and it’s safe to assume that Portnoy will get involved soon, although he will be busier, given his new gig with FOX’s ‘Big Noon Kickoff’.
Brittney Griner Finally Breaks Her Silence Over Alleged Caitlin Clark Comments That The WNBA Refused To Investigate

WNBA star Brittney Griner was at the center of a new debate over what she allegedly said in a game against basketball phenom Caitlin Clark.
The Atlanta Dream center found herself at the center of social media controversy last month when some fans thought she disparaged Indiana Fever star guard Caitlin Clark upon fouling out.
The game’s broadcast focused on an upset Griner saying something as she returned to the Dream bench after fouling out of the game. While there’s no audio of this moment, some who tried to read Griner’s lips thought she called Clark a “trash f–king white girl.”
However, there’s no proof of Griner saying those actual words since others thought she stated something else.
It took weeks for someone to finally get a quote from her, and she provided much of nothing.
Brittney Griner was asked about this moment before her team’s June 15 game against the Washington Mystics and said, “I remember fouling out, being mad. I remember fouling out on, I believe it was [Natasha] Howard driving to the basket. They said I put my hand in.”

WNBA Chooses Not To Investigate Brittney Griner

Moments before the conclusion of the Indiana Fever’s 81-76 victory over the Dream at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta weeks ago, cameras seemingly caught Atlanta Dream star center Brittney Griner labeling Caitlin Clark “trash” before calling her a “f***ing white girl” in frustration over a foul on Natasha Howard.
The clip of Griner speaking on the bench, lacking context, spread on social media and went viral.
Griner, who won a gold medal for Team USA at the Summer Olympics in Paris in 2024, essentially got aw@y with whatever came out of her mouth because the league basically ignored the controversy.
This incident is not the only time Griner vocalized her frustrations this season. Following another game, she stormed off mid-interview, yelling at the referees to “be f—ing better.
