College basketball fans were angered by Dan “Big Cat” Katz’s behavior during a game broadcast, as the Barstool Sports personality openly advocated for players to score so he could win his “over” points bet.
Katz, along with Barstool founder Dave Portnoy and Jake Marsh, called FAU vs. Loyola Chicago as the teams faced off in the Barstool Invitational in Chicago.
And as FAU secured a comfortable win with less than two minutes to go, Katz could be seen screaming as he fruitlessly tried to score his bet.
“I need buckets to go in, I can’t get buckets in right now.”
At another point, Katz yelled at Loyola players to foul FAU, and also slammed his headphones on the table.
Big Cat’s antics did not sit well with some college basketball fans on Thursday
While Portnoy and Marsh seemed to find Katz’s fate amusing, others did not appreciate him injecting his personal gambling into the broadcast.
Veteran basketball journalist Jeff Goodman called the clip “unwatchable,” while fans also joined in.
“These clowns are such a disgrace to the sports world,” one person said.
“This is so corny,” another added.
Barstool Sports’ Dan Katz made the comments about Swift & Kelce on the ‘Pardon My Take’ podcast
The controversy comes after Katz was criticized for demanding to see a “sex tape” of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce to confirm their romance is real.
He and the other co-host of “Pardon My Take,” Eric Sollenberger, popularly known as PFT Commenter, went into the details of what they would like to see Kelce and the 12-time Grammy winner “do” sexually to ‘prove’ that their relationship is genuine.
“Until then, I think it’s fake, I think it’s for clicks and I think Taylor is using the NFL to try to make her star bigger,” Katz said.
Throngs of ‘Swifties’ took to social media to criticize the personality afterwards, with one calling the comments ‘disgusting’.
