Mike McCarthy is done as the head coach of the Cowboys

Mike McCarthy's out. ... Busiest cat in Texas. ... I think there's gonna be a little cooling off period with Mike McCarthy. 'cause this was a, like, you just can't look. They looked so bad.

Despite the loss, the Cowboys announced two days later that McCarthy would return for the 2024 season.

You got the full Joe Flacco experience — elite stretches where he can throw it a mile, then he just quits after the first quarter; that's Baldinger's cat

You got the full Joe Flacco experience because the old debate on whether or not he's elite goes back to Joe having games and stretches where he's just like, oh, this guy can throw the football a mile. And then he'll have a game like this where he just pretty much quits after the first quarter. And it's like, okay, it's not here today. I'm not elite today, but my eliteness will come back. It's Baldinger's cat — being elite and not elite at the same time.

PFT delivers the definitive Baldinger's cat take after the Browns' 45-14 wild card loss to the Texans, exemplifying the 'not elite today' side.

The Texans are officially 'next up' and will be a powerhouse that the rest of the AFC has to deal with for the next decade

The Texans are next up. I think that's officially happened. We'll see how the rest of the Playoffs go for them. But the conversation is now when you talk about the AFC and it's [Joe] Burrow and it's [Josh] Allen and it's [Patrick] Mahomes, it's [Lamar Jackson], C.J. Stroud and the Texans and how good they are. This quickly is insane. ... you're gonna have to deal with the Texans.

The Texans followed up their 2023 success by winning the AFC South again in 2024 and remaining a top contender, though they haven't yet surpassed the Chiefs or Ravens.

C.J. Stroud needs to win at least three Super Bowls or his career will be a disappointment

I think now it's our responsibility as media figures to set some unrealistic expectations. ... How many Super Bowls can he win in order for his career to not be a disappointment? ... You gotta get three or else you suck or else this or else you should have been bad from the get go. But you were so good at the start. Now you have to get three Super Bowls.

He's jokingly setting a bar that is nearly impossible for any QB to meet.

Spain is entering a period of absolute soccer dominance and will win the next Euro.

They won the Euro two years ago. They won the World Cup. They're probably gonna win the Euro in two years. They're just different generation dominating soccer.

Euro 2028 has not happened yet.

Goals scored in the World Cup third-place game should not count toward the Golden Boot.

I also had one bone to pick. The third place game, which is hilarious that they still do this... The fact that those goals count for the Golden Boot is such bullshit. That's stupid. That should not count. Like that's not a real game.

This is a subjective opinion about tournament rules.

LeBron James will announce his free agency decision tonight.

I'm fully expecting him to announce at 9:00 PM tonight. Yep. Like shit like that where it's like, I went to a movie on Thursday night. I was like, oh, LeBron's gonna fucking announce during the movie. He's, he's now fucking us... I think that's what's gonna happen. I think he's gonna decide tonight.

Big Cat predicted that LeBron James would announce his free agency decision at 9:00 PM on July 20, 2026. However, reports from July 20 and July 21, 2026, indicated that James had not yet made his decision, and his agent stated on July 21 that he did not know when the announcement would occur.
