Never gets old. That was some Ken Griffey Jr. Presents MLB-type [expletive].
-
I hope you were chewing on a rotten cigar and just quietly nodding in approval.
-
Who happens to be a Philadelphia sports fan. WHAT THE [expletive]. Yeah, he's from Philly. His accent isn't huge, but it's there, so my guess is he's been in Chicago a long time. Whenever it was Bears/Eagles or Cubs/Phillies he'd say something Philly-centric. But he's obviously talking about Chicago sports. Or at least he did, apparently his twitter ended in 2011. Hopefully there was a terrible death.

Eat [expletive] and die, WGN.

Offseason Rumors
Sammy Sofa replied to Clem Fandango's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
It is absolutely irrational to refuse to trade an inconsistent catcher (a position where the amount of time that one remains productive is quite short) for the #1/#2 prospect in baseball. Trout wasn't the #2 prospect until going into 2011. He wasn't ranked before 2009 and going in to 2010 he was ranked #85. Not that trading Soto after 2009 wasn't automatically a good or bad idea, but to drop that Trout was the #2/#1 prospect in baseball like he was that as soon he showed up is wrong. -

Mike North owned a hot dog stand and turned it into a hugely successful radio gig and a freaking morning show on CSN. Holy [expletive], Mike North; you want to talk about blacking out a terrible memory. That guy was such a gigantic sports media presence here and now he's basically just gone...it's so wonderful. He still subs on Fox Sports evening radio sometimes. He's as terrible as ever. Man, I don't even know what station that is, thankfully. And Murph basically being gone, too. I remember when I was growing up and we'd come back here to visit family my dad would want the Score on constantly and seemed like these two Mike idiots were just ruling that station from morning until night; it was a nightmare. And then ESPN unleashes Mike & Mike...KEEP MIKES OFF OF THE RADIO.

Oh, without a doubt; Todd completely comes off as a Kaplan-clone with everything he says. It's clear he came into that job with no [expletive] clue as to what he should do and Kaplan took him under his hairless, meaty wing.
-
The funniest thing about CTL was how often they had the [expletive] bartender from Harry Caray's on their stupid, terrible panel discussion. Chicago sports media is so bad they regularly had this bowtied doof sitting up there talking about guys "playing the game the right way."
-
I think CTL exists in a new form that doesn't acknowledge the Tribune. He's all over CSN. I know he does the post-game show still, yet somehow Hollandsworth was actually even worse.
-
Rozner I still seem to catch on a weekly basis with whatever horrible weekend baseball radio show he co-hosts. It's like I shut out that he's on it because it's so terrible and just make the mistake of tuning in again and again. Even if it's just for 5 minutes it's enough to hate. And like it was kinda pointed out, he goes out of his way to STILL slam Aramis; Kaplan would slam him, too, but would typically do it after a specific game and would actually give him credit from time to time. What is Kaplan broadcasted on now? I never listen to WGN, so if he's still there I've shut him out, and I haven't watched CTL in a looooonnnnng time. Does that even still exist? If it weren't for Twitter updates here I think I'd have him shut out.
-
I hate Rozner way worse than I hate Kaplan. WAY worse. This. Kaplan is an idiot. but he's a weirdly frustrating idiot in that he every shows flashes like he could get it, but ultimately he doesn't or seems to just choose not to, plus, cheesy at is, he seems to actually get excited and is positive about things sometimes. Rozner is just flat out dumb and his every opinion is ugly and negative and playing to the worst case scenario just to get people riled up. Everything is a disaster to him, and his irrational hatred for all things Aramis Ramirez is enough to condemn alone. Kaplan is a jock sniffer. Rozner is a curmudgeon. But Kaplan is ubiquitous when following the Cubs while Rozner must be actively sought out. Kaplan is worse. That's the thing; Rozner is just SO wrong and negative that even though I don't hear from him as often I still hate him more. Kaplan is just a dork. And he seems oblivious to how much he looks like a gigantic penis, which is hilarious.

I think most of it was timing with me...Cubs in 1984, Bears in 1986, Jordan showing up in the 80's. My dad was and is an enormous fan of all of those teams, and his excitement over what was happening from '84 onwards just kind of naturally drew my brother in (and we were living overseas '84-'97 so we'd be sent tapes by friends and family that were filled with games, so we watched those all the time because there weren't many other options), plus that's when we started playing sports ourselves and realizing there things like baseball cards (and shitty football and basketball cards, too), plus Nintendo showed up and we were nuts about the sports games that came with it, too.

Man, some of you were weird kids, and I say this as someone who was definitely a weird kid. At least I had the excuse of my dad being a huge Cubs fan and the 1984 season being the first one I really got into.

Offseason Rumors

Oh, Soto. "What the [expletive] happened to you, man? Your ass used to be beautiful." Though I had no idea he had a relatively nice little bounceback year this past season, even though it was in a backup role. -
Way to go, idiots.
-
And by crafty I mean enormous.
-
I thought that that alias was cynosure's. How crafty of him.

Week 9 - MNF: Bears (4-3) @ Green Bay (5-2) - 7:40 PM, ESPN

This is hysterical. -
He's almost certainly telling the truth. Football players are huge jock buffoons, and this probably happens everywhere. There are hordes of players that want this to not become a thing. between Incognito and his dad, this seems to has crossed the line for normal jock idiocy to straight up psychopaths.
-
Yeah, they've sent me multiple e-mail invites. Best to just delete them all and laugh and laugh and laugh. And then cry.
-
So go hire someone else. It's not like he's some kind of vital acquisition.

"GONNA get fucked?" Not sure how the season has already gone down isn't a heaping helping of getting fucked.
