Mike Katic Had Himself Quite The Weekend

Editor's Note: Dante submitted a blog about last weekend on a Thursday. That's the Don we know and love.

I’ve made a lot of dumb decisions in my life. I’ve made a few decent ones. But I think one of my best ones ever was signing Mike Katic to a lifetime management contract while he was hammered on the Jersey shore with me. 

Bosco blogged it before the Beach House began, but he Warren Buffett’d everybody telling everybody to buy buy buy $katic stock. And damn it if he wasn’t right as usual. 

I reserved judgment until I got to know the man on a personal level, because the last time eternal haters around these parts actually hyped up a Dave Portnoy hire, his name was Michael Rappaport.

But I met him, saw he was the salt of the fucking earth, spoke to his parents on speakerphone (heard his dad give him shit for not getting laid) and was instantly sold. I made him sign his life away. 

Since then, he’s been on fucking fire. He owned the Beach House. He made lemonade out of lemons when we encountered a storm in Chicago and had our flights canceled while waiting to board at O'Hare to a tiny airport in northern Wisconsin for Camp Barstool. He managed to sweet talk one of the car rental agents who happened to be a fan of him, (and asked for a pic) into upgrading us to an Expedition (for 5 people), and then drove the entire 6 hour drive by himself. Happy as can be, never once complaining. 

This past Saturday, him and Dana decided to head to The Pony, on the Northside of Chicago, to drink the bar out of beer. Simply because they can. 

And if we're being honest… my guy kinda worked Dana BEERS. 

His Indiana Hoosiers proceeded to stun the Oregon Ducks, and before you try to tell me The Ewing Theory applies, let me remind you that Katic was producing the greatest vibes of all time while smashing 33 beers during the game. 

And yes. He's still got it.

He parlayed all that into a weekly appearance on Wakeup Barstool on Fox - who by the way is knocking it out of the park in terms of rebranding- and now, with a freaking appearance with Big Cat on Fox NFL Sunday's telecast this past weekend. 

The man is simply on fire. 

And if all of that wasn't enough, he got a ringing endorsement from his new fan, and his fellow Fox NFL co-worker, Rob Gronkowski. 

This isn't a blog promoting binge drinking by any means, this blog is simply an acknowledgment of Mike's bright shining star, and giving praise to my client, where much of it is deserved.

Stay hot Katic. Stay hot.
