Popular Barstool personality Big Cat had to be hospitalized over the weekend with a major health issue.
Barstool Big Cat, whose real name is Dan Katz, took to social media on Sunday to reveal that he had ended up in the emergency room with kidney stones.
Katz has since been released, according to ESPN’s NFL insider Adam Schefter, who announced the news in an NFL Draft parody post on X Tuesday morning.
‘Developing story: Over the weekend, @BarstoolBigCat was hospitalized due to a kidney stone. He since has been released, and with that episode seemingly over, @PFTCommenter is now on the clock,’ Schefter wrote.
This wasn’t the first time that the 40-year-old has been struck down with kidney stones. Last November, he revealed that he had suffered with four.
‘I try to p*** one out,’ he said of the situation last year on the Barstool Yak podcast. ‘Three are small inside my kidney still, that maybe won’t f*** me up. One is already on its way out and that’s the big boy.’

Big Cat – real name Dan Katz – attended Barstool’s ‘Bet Gala’ on Monday night
‘I think it’s kinda random, it might be stress cause I am really stressed,’ he added when asked about the cause.
However, he claimed at the time that his trip to hospital hadn’t been the worst part of the weekend as his beloved Chicago Bears had lost.
His latest incident didn’t keep him down for long though, as Katz was released from hospital in time to attend Barstool’s ‘Bet Gala.’
Barstool chief Dave Portnoy hosted a parody of the Met Gala – a fashion spectacular at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York – on Monday night in Scottsdale, Arizona.
Katz shared a series of photos of himself in a gambling-inspired suit, which was lined with winning bet slips.
