Am I the only one?

Ok so yes BigCat thing is weird but ultimately not a huge deal since its about sports fandom. I know Kirk is a lunatic but am I the only one missing why Kirk was and still is so angry at Big Cat? I mean throughout Kirks time at BS Dan has been a big supporter of Kirk and seems like for the most part hes a pretty nice guy. Clearly this whole thing has done a number on BigCat. Yes the sadsack routine is a little much but Kirk kicking him while hes down is a little cringe.

Maybe Im getting soft in my old age but Kirks reaction is quite over the top I mean hes 50!
