The Wall Street Journal‘s sports desk has started a video segment called “Sports & Cats” and calls it a “hard hitting series.”

In the first episode, sports columnist Jason Gay previews Super Bowl XLVIII with guests Geoff Foster and Baxter the Cat.

Baxter is described as a domestic short hair. He appeared on the show from a live remote near MetLife Stadium, the site of the Super Bowl.

Said Gay: “Sports and Cats is a longtime passion project for Geoff, Marshall and myself. Discussed for months, it became a reality this week after an intense and briefly scratchy session videotaping my family cat, Baxter. We intend to submit for Pulitzer consideration next year.”

Marshall is Marshall Crook, a Journal video producer.
