Tim Baffoe
Tim Baffoe attended the University of Iowa before earning his degree from Governors State University and began blogging at The Score after winning the 2011 Pepsi Max Score Search. He enjoys writing things about stuff, but not so much stuff about things. When not writing for 670TheScore.com, Tim corrupts America’s youth as a high school English teacher and provides a great service to his South Side community delivering pizzas (please tip him and his colleagues well). You can follow Tim’s inappropriate brain droppings on Twitter (@TimBaffoe), but please don’t follow him in real life. He grew up in Chicago’s Beverly neighborhood and currently lives in Mt. Greenwood.
Ten Foot Mailbag: The Bears Drafted Who?
KYLE LONG? What the…? KYLE LONG? But there were so many better guys availa… KYLE LONG?
Baffoe: In Steubenville, Sports Are More Important Than Rape
Reno Saccoccia is not a condition that involves flesh-eating bacteria breeding inside one’s kidneys. Nor is it a casino featuring the comedic stylings of Carlos Mencia. It’s neither of those awful things.
Baffoe: Are Ventura And Hahn On The Same Page?
The White Sox supposedly have a progressive statistical GM with a manager willing to embrace a numbers-driven era. An organization with those in charge on the same page. The manager is willing, right?
Ten Foot Mailbag: Talking To Kids About Boston And Apologizing To PSU Fans
It was a really, really, really, really, really, really bad week to say the least. Chicagoans should count themselves lucky that it was mostly just our commutes and basements that were ruined.
Baffoe: Don’t Let Hate Take Our Sports Joy From Us
As we now immerse ourselves back into sports after the most recent act of ignorant spinelessness to try to disrupt the joy that defines the competitions we watch, I sincerely hope that our greatest fears of what can happen at a celebration (because, really, that’s what any race or game or match is—even at Wrigley Field these days) do not cause us to temper ourselves in future celebrations.
Ten Foot Mailbag: Paying College Athletes And Shortening The MLB Season
One of my favorite things to ever happen in sports is occurring this weekend.
Baffoe: Brittney Griner Should Tell Everyone To Shut Up
At no point would Griner be the best player on the board. She is not one of the top 60 as-yet-to-be NBA players in the world.
Baffoe: Designate The DH In The National League
Enough of this two leagues with different rules nonsense.
Ten Foot Mailbag: Roger Ebert Probably Hated Stadium Marriage Proposals
I won’t pretend I knew Roger Ebert personally, but his death affects me as a great admirer of his and what he stood for.
Baffoe: For Cubs To Trade Marmol They Have To Let Him Burn
The only way to find out if that request rings the Cubs’ phones is if Carlos Marmol keeps pitching, though. He needs to be given the opportunity to possibly return to the type of guy Jason Goff referred to as “You won’t hit me, but I might hit you.”
Baffoe: Loving And Hating The White Sox And Cubs In 2013
Here are three reasons each to love and hate the Chicago White Sox and Chicago Cubs respectively in 2013.
Baffoe: Getting To Know John Ziegler, Penn State Conspiracy Charlatan
I’ve watched John Ziegler from afar for a while now. As one of his Twitter followers (hey, follow back, dude!) I’ve seen him retweet every person that praises him and bully dissenters on a daily basis.
Baffoe: The NCAA Needs To Stop Misleading Us
With all the excitement and gravitas and craziness of the NCAA men’s basketball tournament come a few lame byproducts.
Baffoe: Let’s Mock People Defending The Steubenville Rapists
I refuse to be part of the comfortable group of ignorant. So, besides not raping people, I’d like to do my small part by making fun of some idiots that think stuff like this is okay on various levels.
Baffoe: The World Baseball Classic Is Lame
Cue the inspirational horns and strings. Get Bob Costas cozied up near a fireplace in a flame-retardant turtleneck.
Ten Foot Mailbag: Booing Former Players And Learning Hockey
Booing a guy who used to be on your favorite team and now is on another team is beyond stupid.
Baffoe: My Submissions For The Wrigley Field 100th Year Logo Contest
What better way to salt the festering wound of bricks and ivy than celebrating the park’s anniversary.
Baffoe: Blackhawks’ Record Start Means Nothing Without The Cup
The 2013 Chicago Blackhawks could become a footnote even after starting better than any team in NHL history.
Ten Foot Mailbag: Dealing With Rec League Cheaters
O.J. Pistorius. That’s what I’ve begun calling the South African runner accused of murdering his girlfriend (and I don’t want to place value on one murder victim over another, but holy Mandela, that woman was gorgeous).
Baffoe: Bunting Tournament A Reminder Of Cubs’ Inevitable Futility
The 2013 Cubs are fait accompli, and there are only so many ways for someone to write that the team is going to be bad again.
