Not up to his usual bullshit, this one bizarrely feels like sponsored content:

Operators and, uh, cheese sausage helmet sandwich concessionaires are standing by!

Even the proudest of White Sox fans will purse his or her lips, give a pained exhale through the nose and try to give a multi-second blink in an attempt to comes to terms with calling the home of their favorite team “Guaranteed Rate Field.”

For instance they were never taught that Columbus was a slave owner.

This person won a writing contest?

Jesus, it's like it was ghost written by Brooks Boyer.

The future holds the possibility to be great or terrible, and since it has not yet occurred it remains simultaneously both.

Externally, the parking lots are super convenient for family outings and tailgating

Yeah, that's one tortured sentence right there. Beyond that, I don't really get people that are so obsessed with the names of buildings. "I still call it Cominskey." You didn't even know how the fuck to say it when that's what it was called.

I'm a big dumb shitlib baby

There is not a damned thing wrong with people who are bull shitters.

Ancient civilizations grilled onions?

Always loved that Baffoe guy.

Telling truth to power.

I find Fahrenheit 451 to be one of the most important novels in the Western canon.

His column is about to rest in power from the tone. Of all the things to survive the purge, this guy?

It's good to know that the onions at Comiskey get him hard, though. No way that guy's got an outlet for that.

It is funny that he wrote this though, instead of his usual how is Kaep not signed or Michigan State should be burned to the ground story. Looks like his radicalism faded rapidly as soon as his sponsor was sent to timeout.

OK, now that I got that one final super-serious Bears exhibition analysis out, I really am moving on from writing for 670 The Score today. I still have a hard time believing someone paid me (kinda) to write about sports, and I’m sure many of you still do as well. But I decided a few weeks ago to focus on other duties and interests and leave this glamour behind. And I’ll try to keep this more Vlad Guerrero than Trevor Hoffman.

My sincerest thanks go out to my editors, chronologically Adam Hoge, Sam Zuba and Cody Westerlund. All of them were more than accommodating and fair and put up with my weirdness and wordiness and typos with more patience than was deserved.

I owe all of this glory to God. That being Dan Bernstein. And Mitch Rosen. They both picked me along with Hoge as a contest winner for this gig. Every person at 670 The Score whom I’ve encountered has been more than cool to me, and it has validated my years of listening to station.

And to you, the reader, whether this is your first click on something I wrote or more, know that I genuinely appreciate it. I never thought "reading Baffoe" would be a thing said outside of an interrogation room for alleged Ponzi scheme activity.

My favorite part of my time writing here wasn't anything that I wrote. You forget way more of the writing than you retain anyway. Instead, it was how writing led me to consuming the work of other wonderful voices, especially those from women, the LGBTQ community and people of color who helped me consider the intersection of sports with the sociopolitical in ways I hadn't before. I'm a better critical thinker and a more empathetic person because of the homework I often had to do in my writing and the avenues that led me to.

I hope sports media going forward works to be more diverse, which is crucial for how the public sees the sports world and beyond. That includes anyone who might fill this spot. Please, you the consumer, seek out those diverse voices and consider perspectives that you might not be accustomed to.

I'm mostly looking forward to consuming sports just as a fan again, getting lost in the organic emotions of the immediate without having to consider some angle that I might have to take later about what's happening on or off the field. Being able to sleep on a bad loss from some Chicago team and not having to revisit my disappointment in writing the next morning will be nice, even though that has its cathartic qualities.

So I’m outta here. It’s been surreal but incredibly fun.

Here’s to being good fans and smart readers and listeners. Hooray sports.
