Regardless of whether Uncle Teary is riding off into the sunset, we need a tribute to one of the sportswriters of all time. What's your favorite Terry memory?

I must concur with your assessment that Boers is "one of the sportswriters of all time."

What's your favorite Terry memory?

Back in the HFC days before the days of the Townstone Financial Text Line, I can remember TB virtually crying tears of rage because people kept leaving voice mails for him in which they would tell him how ugly he was. It was no joke, he was deeply affected. I was super funny.

Seriously?

Why were people calling to insult the appearance of a radio guy?

You read this board almost daily ... a board filled with troglodytes (and choglodytes, per Les) that vomit their every impulsive thought with impunity and you wonder why people made phone calls about how somebody on the radio looked?

Mine is when he was really fat and jolly. He loved food and smoking and both of those things are good.

RIP Terry.

Really? I find that hard to believe. Terry crying over people calling himself ugly? He's the ultimate self loather. He calls himself ugly and dumb.

I wouldn't even think he would respond to it. Let alone cry.

Terry was an asshole and still is. That he may be dying doesn't change that. He was an asshole as a writer too. Almost always negative and looking for a way to criticize. That was why it was so great when Da Coach put him in his place after Terry went back on his previously expressed criticism of Ditka for being too demonstrative as a coach and then asked Ditka about why it seemed in the past game that he didn't have the fire in him and he almost seemed resigned to the fate and Ditka reminded him that he was the guy who criticized him when he did have the fire, that it was the wrong thing.....SO WHO YOU CRAPPIN???

Nice douche bag you would not have read Boers as a sportswriter you only know this from the bit on the Score. Fuck you.

Nobody said he was dying.

Maybe he just has to dip out of sight for a few years to heal/fight whatever is ailing him, but he knows that he cannot use his voice as an instrument anymore.

Plus his contract was up on January 5 anyway, so it's not like CBS is going to make him an offer to stick around at this point.

That's why he knew before he got sick that he was going to retire at the end of this year.
