The Pirates leaking interest in Kyle Schwarber is just 'red meat' to appease the fans with no intent to sign him

I feel like the Pirates' version of them actually signing a big free agent would be just leaking it that they're thinking about signing. Correct. That was... their red meat to the fan base. Be like, look, we tried.

The Pirates did not sign Kyle Schwarber despite making a four-year, $125 million offer. Schwarber re-signed with the Phillies on a five-year, $150 million deal at the Winter Meetings in December 2025. Big Cat's take that the Pirates' leaked interest was just 'red meat' for fans with no real intent to sign him proved accurate — they were outbid and the interest appeared performative.

Aaron Rodgers will play like an elite quarterback against the Bears because he wants to spite them one last time

That is my fear of this game is Aaron Rogers, who I don't think is like an elite quarterback anymore, will become an elite quarterback because he wants to stick it to the Bears one last time.

Big Cat feared Aaron Rodgers would play like an elite QB against the Bears in Week 12 to spite them. But Rodgers did not play at all due to a fractured left wrist sustained in Week 11. Mason Rudolph started instead, and the Steelers lost to the Bears.

Drake May will throw for over 300 yards for the first time this weekend against the Bengals

This is my prop of a lifetime this weekend. It's Drake May to throw 300 yards for the first time plus 264. I put it in before the show started. I feel like this is the week... the Bengals defense, you can't help but throw 300 yards against them.

Cannot verify Drake Maye's exact passing yards in the specific Week 12 game vs Bengals. Maye had 4,394 yards total for the season across 17 games.

The Vikings should cut and immediately re-sign J.J. McCarthy so he can be a reclamation project

What the Vikings really should do is cut JJ McCarthy. Yep. So he's a bust and then sign him back. So he is a reclamation project. Then it'll be good. Cut JJ McCarthy, officially declaring a bust, sign McCarthy former draft bust and have KOC fix him. Smart.

This is a satirical suggestion and won't literally happen.

The Brewers' pressure created their 'lucky' breaks

That's not luck. That's just the Brewers and what they did to you mentally, where it's like you have to be perfect and almost made teams just become a worse version of themselves because of what the Brewers were doing to them.

This is an evaluative baseball argument rather than a claim with one definitive result.

The Bears are building around Jeffrey Simmons correctly

Jeffrey Simmons is an absolute game wrecker. Top three at his position, changes everyone around him. The Bears had a weakness in their defense, especially run defense. They made it a strength.

The assessment of Simmons' impact and positional ranking is partly subjective and will depend on his Chicago performance.

Jeffrey Simmons makes the Bears Super Bowl contenders

I thought they could win the Super Bowl before Jeffrey Simmons. Now I really do.

The 2026 NFL season and Super Bowl outcome have not yet been resolved from the episode date.
