I actually have grown to like tHom, too, and I didn't for many years. Too hyberbolic, too much affected announcer voice, but since he's taken this grumpy old man turn the last few years, it's kind of fun and refreshing.

What sucks is that he now becomes a cautionary tale. Any of these other guys thinking about going against the grain probably won't. It's a shame. And I like Len, but when Chip Caray is more inflammatory than you are, it might be time to step out a bit.

Benetti is in there too just like Kasper.

Benetti is a product of mid-2000s sports blog snark. He called a game with Ken Tremendous; what more do you need to know.

He's a mediocre broadcaster. Fits perfectly with Kasper, Hughes etc.

In other words, he's a fagqot.

I'm sure he's a breath of fresh air for a lot of people, but for people like us who have been through the posting wars, it gets tiresome. He made a "69 is the sex number" joke on ESPN one time. To the extent that anyone watches ESPN anymore, it should be a place to escape from "69 is the sex number." Maybe I just like to complain.

Why on earth are players apologizing for this, or even chiming in at all? I guess because everyone needs to express themselves, speak "their truth", virtue signal, and generally work under the self-delusional premise that people give two craps about their opinion, as if it's something brilliant or revolutionary. Big self-congratulatory circle jerk at someone else's expense, every time.

All while I write this on a message board... :lol:

It's what they did in China under Mao. Everybody had to line up on the streets and spit on the offender. It's compulsory

About as well-crafted as possible, I think. But he'll probably still be Jimmy The Greek'd.

Yep. Completely unhealthy for any society. And totally selective.

Do you think Billy Bean With No E ever gets tired of being made to be spoken to by every dumb jock who calls someone a homo? Do you think he's considered just making a video for people to watch, like for jury duty?

You see less remorse from people at sentencing hearings for convicted murderers.

Well, he shouldn't be. He's on the MLB payroll largely to enlighten the neanderthals in the ways of the gays.

im not for cancel culture in 99 percent of the cases but in this case, the cancel for Thomm should be based on pure stupidity.

If this guy says these type of things at the workplace knowing there is a strong possibility of getting caught , can you imagine what he must say at home to the wife and friends and family!? I'm sure the N and F and countless other offensive words spew out at the Brennaman household on a daily basis. I know its his house and he can do whatever he wants to there but it's a another level of stupidity that he would bring it to work with him.

Maybe he thought he's had this job for life due to his father and that nothing could knock him off his throne. He must be a total dick at work. He must think HE IS the Reds!

Nobody is perfect but the clean cut image he portrayed has gone to shit.

I remember back when he was doing the Cubs Murph did not take kindly to him. I dont know the reason. But once he left the Cubs Murph talked about him in much more positive terms.

Maybe Vito can chime in here?

Baseball lifers are crude and coarse and to some extent you have to budget for that. I bet somewhere in the archives of WTMJ are Bob Uecker outtakes that would peel the skin off people's faces. Brennaman is still an idiot, though.

Uecker would get a pass from me since he's from a completely different generation and it's like your racist grandfather. You hear the shit and ignore it.

Brennaman has no excuse.
