Michael Angelo, thank you for this. Barstool bring him home.

[@Bizarb]

Yep, him and Duggs should've never been axed. MA Rundowns during 2020 got me thru that awful year. The "Glue Lips" episode I still go back and laugh at.

[@cajunhawk]

You never know, this might have been a mercy lay off, as this guy should be headed for much bigger.

[@ryant1648]

@@BizarbDuggs seems like a nice guy but he added zero value as an employee

[@Bizarb]

I could see how you somebody could say that. However he constantly helped with Frank The Tanks content. That alone was reason to keep him. @@ryant1648

Wow. This was amazing - thank you Michael Angelo!!! ❤❤❤ One small thing: our Dad is very much alive - definitely not “late.” He lives in West Virginia and is quite excited about this new Roofball development. 😊❤

this honestly almost brings a tear to my eye. the simplest joys of childhood, like throwing a ball on and off your roof, just takes me back to a more simple time

Another fun fact about Roofball: Adam's father is sometimes late but is still alive and promoting the sport in West Virginia.

[@rfaroofball]

Hi Dad!

[@K2Jordan]

Let’s go Adam’s dad!!!

[@KYtoTn]

This has to be a real foot-in-mouth moment for Barstool. Michael Angelo and Duggs will be missed.

[@CriticalThinking1776]

Duggs was in this video? I honestly forgot Duggs even existed, thats how much of an impact hes had at Barstool

Bring back Michael Angelo. Every video he has done was great.

[@TimSmithTree]

This is so good! This long form piece absolutely sticks it to the idiots who think the world revolves around 30 second reels and clips. Would love more of this content.

[@Gotien718]

I agree 100%, do your research and make a good watch. The fact Dave constantly deals with dumb lazy people not doing their research you would think there would be more of these, either way great job!

[@zackjohns323]

The memorial cup for Mum that isn't dead is just the cherry on top. I'm so glad I clicked this video. What a fun story of silliness and good times.

[@squalla5452]

That phone call with his Mom at the end was awesome, what a great story. Also getting rid of Michael Angelo was a horrible idea. Guy is so damn good at putting a story together.

[@jamespolnick]

That legit got me. I remember this day and how much fun it was in the chat.

[@Commander_Kevin]

I sat through this for an hour, yet I regret none of it. This was a brilliant piece of barstool history.

[@rfaroofball]

Thanks for watching. MA killed it.

[@Commander_Kevin]

​@@rfaroofball 100%, I hate sports all together, I have only every watched a single NRL match and that was due to having a sky box during the finals in 2016. Yet, Not only have I watched this I even watched the entirety of the 3 hr 2023 roofball finals. You guys have made a brilliant bit of entertainment, I genuinely hope you not only gain, but keep a large following from this. I cannot wait to see roofball come to Australia!

[@rfaroofball]

@@Commander_Kevin I can't think of a better endorsement than that! And hey if you can find a suitable roof and a few players, I'd love to help make the Australian Roofball Federation (aka ARF!) happen in 2024 - maybe make our World Championships actually live up to their name!

[@dirty4032]

Bring Mikey Ang back to barstool. He’s a legend behind the camera

Oh the memories of playing this as a kid growing up… we played our own version of “Roofball” back growing up in the 80s where 2 played at same time, it was a staple in my neighborhood…this brings back some great memories, the joys of childhood lol!!

[@Jenniferscratch]

Cindy stopping in her tracks and slowly backing up when she saw the cameras was hilarious 😂

[@jacobguitar1809]

I'll never forget playing skateball with my buddies. Nothing but an old skateboard deck, soccer ball, and the essence of baseball. Or having to jump a fence to play the turkey bowl thanksgiving morning, full contact football for ages 12-18. No mercy, no pads, no pussys. You guys are bringing back some great memories.

[@BKPonders]

Bring this dude Michael Angelo back. Super Talented

[@samdinzey]

This is the content we need. Editing because i'm sad Michael Angelo is gone.

[@davieduckett]

Why didn't they buy one of Adams roof prototypes to use? But everything else about this is beautiful. Adam's mom said it best about people needing to play more games to get their mind off of the crap of life . Best of luck to Adam, hope this grows to amazing heights like state championships, hopefully county championships. Then of course a world championship

[@logozervos1717]

Bring Michael Angelo back. He earned his spot forever after the Covid streams with Dave

[@yungindy8928]

You can tell this is a premium video because Michael Angelo worked on it.

Me, my brother and one of our friends "invented" a VERY similar game when we were morning drinking one summer day. We used a handball though, and it was basically like rebounding a basketball. So you could push and box out and shit.

But for them give Adam props for inventing the game is awesome and won’t be surprised if There all kinds of videos of roof football lol. What’s cool is u don’t forget even need a chimney pipe to play this on the roof u can use what ever u want chimney, vent pipe etc . But dang this brings back some great memories and Imo I would destroy Adam at roof football
