Big Cat Explains Why He Lied About Being From Chicago

I was 14 when I left the bears fandom. they fired Ditka and hired a Dallas cowboy coordinator I hated the cowboys so much and loved Ditka so much. but I was 14 and I didn't have my dad around to slap me silly. but I picked the Steelers not really know much of the 70s. cause I was born in the 80s. I was immature and didn't know better

He was brought into Barstool to lead Barstool Chicago it makes at least a little sense that he would try to be a little more “Chicago” to be embraced in that role and then it took off and it’s too late to correct the record after that. It’s definitely a weird situation to find yourself in but it also makes sense when you know how he started at Barstool.

Call me crazy but the Bears actually allowing McCarthy to call his shot by wanting to come in person and then actually flying him in private shows MASSIVE progress in whats happened before. They may actually do and get this right finally.

[@nighttray1489]

So he pretended to be a fan of Chicago sports all this time. Whatever. My only question is why people are still defending him? He doesn’t like sports, stop listening tho his podcast, stop following him on social media, and stop acknowledging him as a human being. He is scum. Just leave him alone

[@friendsofcoal]

I don’t think it would have been that big of a deal if it just came out that he grew up in Mass. but the fact that he is having to really double down on defending himself and apologizing everywhere makes me think he only switched to Chicago fandom for business . Which is fine, but like just admit that and not have to give us a “trust me bros” about being lifelong Chicago fan (which was his whole shtick and a money maker) 😂 idk my opinion is I feel like he feels guilty about being misleading and that this has all been one big bit- maybe feeling a bit like a fraud

[@WhyAmIHere35]

The Bears will NOT hire a coach with a strong personality. The owners are still butt hurt over Ditka and Ryan personality! There is no way they will let the new coach to instill their own play book. George will tell the coach that he is only a figure head and that the play book he will be running will be George's NOT the new coach. Does not matter who the coach is, Ben, Mike, Schmoe, Blow, Moe, Curly, Larry or some mouse. The Bears ownership, this is their team, they will NOT let a coach become bigger than the owners. Bears will continue to suck because of George and Virginia and their whole entire cast. They need to cut the top off the bucket, dump it out by selling, period. The Team Pres, GM, Coach have zero teeth, they are castrated when they walk in the building.
