Is Steven Cheah still at Barstool?

Yes, as of November 2026 Steven Cheah is still at Barstool Sports, and we found no report or post saying he has left.

His author page lists blogs through October 27, 2026, including a Buccaneers post the day before.

Was Steven Cheah fired? What happened to Steven Cheah?

Steven Cheah has not been fired by Barstool Sports, as far as any report or post we could find shows; the searches trace back to three things he and The Yak published. First, on May 7, 2022 he wrote a blog titled “The Rumors Are True: I’m Leaving My Current Job At Barstool,” which meant leaving his job as Senior Director of Ad Operations, a title he had held since 2016, to work on content full time: “It’s a job that I loved, but it is time for a change.” Second, on October 21, 2022 he posted “Dave Portnoy Just Fired Me Over Text”, about Portnoy dropping him as his adviser in a fantasy football league Cheah ran as commissioner. Third, a September 7, 2023 Yak episode was titled “The Best Data Day Ever Leads to Cheah’s Resignation”; its description reads only “Re-sign,” and he posted his Data Day picks again in September 2024.

What happened between Caleb Pressley and Steven Cheah?

Steven Cheah and Caleb Pressley have not described a falling out in anything we could source. What is public: they were Barstool Sports colleagues from August 2016, when Cheah says he signed, until Pressley left in January 2025, and in his May 2022 blog Cheah recalled listening at his desk to Barstool Radio “with Coley or Caleb mixed in on occasion.” On October 10, 2024 The Yak posted an episode titled “Caleb Pressley is Reunited with His Arch Enemy”. We could not open its description to confirm who the title means, so we do not name anyone. Pressley’s own exit from Barstool is covered in his entry.

Why is Steven Cheah a Bucs fan?

Steven Cheah says he became a Tampa Bay Buccaneers fan as a kid watching the 1997 team. In a February 1, 2022 blog thanking Tom Brady, he wrote that he had been rooting for the Bucs for 23 years by early 2020, “Since the upstart ’97 Bucs stole my heart with a 5-0 start and a sweet pair of Runningbacks (Warrick Dunn and Mike Alstott),” and called himself “the only Bucs fan as far as the eye could see.” He still blogs the team, including its 0-4 start on October 5, 2026. His author bio says he was voted the No. 1 Buccaneers media personality in 2020, and The Yak once titled an episode “Steven Took Off to Mourn the Bucs” (January 19, 2023).

What is Steven Cheah’s Data Day?

Data Day is Steven Cheah’s yearly Yak episode where he predicts every game of the NFL regular season and announces each team’s record. In 2022 he described it as “a day where I predict every game on the NFL schedule and my document spits out what the records will be,” per Barstool, and he publishes the full picks as a blog the same week. Barstool called the 2022 edition Data Day IV, while The Yak billed the September 9, 2026 episode as the 5th annual Data Day; the counts do not line up, and we report both as published. Paul Skenes stopped by the 2024 edition, per the episode title.

Where is Steven Cheah from?

Steven Cheah has not named his hometown in anything we could source, so we do not list one. What he has said: in a December 2025 blog he wrote that Bucs coach Todd Bowles is “from two towns over from where I grew up.”

How old is Steven Cheah? What is his real name?

Steven Cheah has not published a birthdate, so we do not list an age. Steven Cheah is his real name as far as anything public shows: it is the name on his Barstool author page and his blogs. He did publish his height: in an October 2022 blog he wrote that he is 6 feet 3 inches tall.

Is Steven Cheah married?

Yes, Steven Cheah is married, by his own account. In his May 7, 2022 blog about moving to content full time he thanked “my wife for just putting up with what has just been my whacky side gig for the past few years.” He did not name her there, and we do not.

Where can I watch Steven Cheah?

Who represents Steven Cheah?

As of November 2026, no agent or manager is named publicly for Steven Cheah; he works for Barstool Sports, and his author page and social bios list no representation that we could find. Ames Create does not represent him; we cover him because people keep asking whether he is still at Barstool and whether he was fired, and the answers are in his own posts. If that changes, this entry will say so.
