Cowlishaw's split deal?

So, Tim, since you've broken the seal ...
Is it true or not that you were upset that you weren't offered the buyout (one of just a handful in sports that were)?
Is it true or not that to keep you from bolting to ESPN that the DMN doubled your salary (to whatever figure it is that will remain secret)?

Seriously, Rok, your post has fanboy written all over it.
I've been e-mailed by some folks on here, prominent folks, who took objection to an opinion or a fact that I screwed up. I didn't give them an e-mailed BJ.

Fair take. I appreciate your opinions, Wicked, seriously.

I never emailed anyone a BJ, though. Just his overall 'good-guyedness' struck me in the past. We all know how many genuine assholes reside in this business, and Tim struck me as different. That earns a pass in my book. Not an indefinite pass, but a pass nonetheless. That's my angle here.

I'm not a huge fan of his work. Like I said, it's TOO 'nicey-nice' for me, personally. I think you can tell from my style on SJ that nicey-nice isn't my style. But the interactions I've had with him, however limited, made me think he was a good human being. I'm giving him a break based on that. No giving of BJ's from this corner though. Hell, I love Whitlock and I've ripped him on here plenty, nearly as much as I've praised him.

I've just never talked here about TC before, and the first thing I said about him was to agree with Colombo that his work isn't my favorite.

Tim used to know the lyrics to everyone of the Boss' songs...at least back in the day. (If Tim returns to this site)...Is that still true?
And what did you think of his Seeger Sessions work?
