They took over sports... baseball, basketball, football, boxing. What do we got left? Hockey?

You clowns who say “Alshon Jeffries” and “Josh McGowan” and still think you should be respected, enjoy this reckoning coming in 2017. Now who are you going to project your self-loathing onto? The exaggerated boogieman you’ve made the McCaskeys into? The vehement anti-Cutlerites don’t know what they’ve lost here.

What a sycophant.

I was ready to write this off as the usual hyperbole we traffic in, but guys, take heed: this really is, of all the terrible columns we've read and made fun of on this board, probably the biggest pile of shit we've ever read. It's so bad. It's bad and it's long. Really, really bad.

I've noticed he seems to enjoy a good healthy debate when you ask him to back up his positions on the Twitter. (Sarcasm emoji)

Tim Baffoe attended the University of Iowa before earning his degree from Governors State University

That line always makes me laugh.

Poor, Tim. No one has noticed him for his writing after several years on CBS. He thought that was his ticket out from educating future city payrollers.

Make sure you don't have one too many on Western this weekend, Timmy, and let your true feelings about your neighbors slip.

It's "Ashlon"!

I caught 5 minutes of B&G yesterday where they made way too much fun of some caller who kept referring to "Ashlon Jeffries".

I don't generally have a problem with sarcastic condescension of stupid callers, but this was ridiculously over the top. Bad radio. I turned off mid bit. Baffoe must have listened to the entire thing.

His point is that Cutler should stay? Cutler didn't want to be here anymore. Why would he? What real difference would it make? Who really gives a rat's ass about the upcoming Bear season?

Dan could be like "after the game, I (sigh) had...some time to reflect on things and I realized something that's been the genesis, and members of Genesis, of a lot of the, the cognitive dissonance we've been...trying to come to terms with for a while now, one of those...uncomfortable truths we have to deny to, to exist in modern society, which (sigh)...is that poop comes out your peehole" and the next day the front page of the Score's stupid website would be "Baffoe: Listen Up, White People, It's Time To Understand Poop Comes Out Your Peehole"

Tim Baffoe is just human trash. Every person living in Germany during the Nazi era (70 million) should not be "humanized"? They aren't human?
I blame him for the invasion of Iraq and every atrocity that happened during it. HE WAS A CITIZEN OF THE USA.
This guy is a total fascist piece of shit.

I saw that yesterday and was puzzled. Is the guy not supposed to write about loving his grandmother in the New York Times because she grew up where she did?

Should we piss on the grave of Thomas Jefferson because he owned slaves?

Fucking moron.

Why should announcers talk politics during game action? This is beyond stupid.

Tim Baffoe is an incredibly shitty writer. From his latest:

Quote:

My first car was a 1998 Oldsmobile 88. It was severely used.

Working a day job in my early 20s laying asphalt for the city’s Department of Transportation while paying for college at night, that car became an extension of my very self. Not flashy. A bit dented. Penchant for breaking down but always jumping back up after being cursed at and belittled in public. Black.

Quote:

Like me as a lad green to the world, (Pro Bowl QB) Trubisky owns a whip that symbolizes him in the less-is-more sense. Regardless of how many miles are on that Japanese machine that far outlasted my American piece of crap, his true engine revs right underneath his breastplate. And that has no odometer.

Quote:

The drives that matter are the ones on Soldier Field turf with the game on the line and the ball in (Pro Bowl QB) Trubisky’s hands. A man who values simplicity — getting the job done without frills — should inspire confidence in teammates and fans alike. It doesn’t end with his ride — his Twitter account is a bastion of the Everyman, too.
