This board is truly growing up and slowing down. This guy would have inspired 5 pages of potato jokes like 5 years ago.
Seems like a lot of people were pissed that Big Cat was going to sing the 7th inning stretch tonight and it just seems over-the-top. I haven't been following him for more than 18 months or so, but he doesn't seem like the type to do something detestable. Yet people are acting as if he's sicked the Barstool fan base on people and told them to give those people hell. Did something like that happen? Doesn't seem warranted in Big Cat's case.

Listening to the Jake Olsen interview. Love that he is taking and giving jokes the whole time. Got me good when they: a) asked about his dog, he said it's named Quebec and they started saying soorey, soorey b) said spin zone, you like golf, you went blind in 2009, you've never seen Tiger suck at golf. Olsen even started laughing
I'm so shocked that a Cubs fan is acting like their team is more than 20 guys hitting a ball with a stick.
someone on my twitter feed tweeted out this article and said "great article". i unfollowed with the quickness
Comedy has evolved because people get in trouble for stuff like this nowadays. I don't know exactly what Big Cat has done to piss people off, but judging by 18 months or so of listening to him, I'd be surprised if it was something unforgivable. Watch a comedy from 10 years ago. They say faggot and retard a good bit, but do those actors/directors get the same treatment? Also, most people have awful senses of humor and bulldozer over jokes then slap an "offensive" sticker on them. Kind of bullshit. Can anyone think of something cringeworthy he did? Or does his association with Barstool solely tarnish his reputation?
I'm so shocked that a Cubs fan is acting like their team is more than 25 (active roster) or 40 (expanded roster) guys, of which only 9 will start on any given day (or 10 in the case of an away interleague matchup), and, given substitutions and pitching changes, about 9-14 of which will, on any given day, be guys hitting a ball with a stick.
