Bill Conlin has reportedly died

We don't admire the same writing, Dickie, and I am right grateful for that.

 

No, we actually do. That's why I think you're just trolling with this Conlin praise. You're a troll, and a funny one, at times, but you're too smart to say that Conlin was a great baseball man. You're pushing buttons.

 

As journalism legends go, Bill Conlin was a blowhard and uninformed. As human beings go, he was a blowhard and a pedophile.

 

I've highlighted shitty trolls since the beginning of this board. I'm sure I did it for some of your previous shitty incarnations.

 

Just in case anyone forgot what this piece of shit did, here's a recap (this is the first four accusers, of seven total, IIRC):

Aw, I thought that was some of the most interesting reading of the day.

 

Lawyers are the absolute biggest liars this side of a Louisville big money college sports program.

Through his lawyer, George Bochetto, Conlin declined to comment.

"Mr. Conlin is obviously floored by these accusations, which supposedly happened 40 years ago," Bochetto said. "He has engaged me to do everything possible to bring the facts forward to vindicate his name."

Its been two years, Mr. Bochetto, what you have done to do 'everything possible' to bring the facts forward?

 

Where's the lie?

 

How about this?

Exactly how an innocent man reacts to allegations. :

 

Where's the lie?

 

It sickens me to revisit the entire situation, to be honest.

 

You don't have to read the thread.

If people are going to defend him here, it should be made clear exactly what kind of man they're defending.
