Mike Baca Makes Me Pray for a Swift End to all Humanity
Mike Baca is the biggest moron ever. Ever. He's a local radio sportscaster and it's clear why he is still here and will never leave. He's terrible. I really wish I had some of his radio soundbites to stream on this page so you people could hear the drivel he vomits. I'll try and just leave a few quotes for you. But the quotes alone in written form just don't do this idiocy justice.
The other day he was talking about the Oregon Ducks and Jeff Maehl. "Don't be surprised if you see hear his name in the NFL draft." Wow, way to make a bold statement. You can already hear his name in discussions about next year's NFL rookie class. While Maehl is considered to be undersized and far from a first-round choice. He had great exposure playing in the BCS title game, finished this year 21st in yards receiving, 26th in receptions, 11th in the nation in receiving TDs. This is in addition to him making all Pac-10 and honorary mention for All-American. Will he go first round? No. But honestly, it would be more surprising to see him not picked. And even if he isn't drafted, the only way you won't see him in the pros is if he changes his mind about his life in football. I can't imagine there's an analyst out there worth his salt that wouldn't say Maehl is a great potential undrafted free agent signing.
I already spoke once before in a short about Baca's spectacular play-by-play talents. Listening to a Chico State basketball game on the radio the other day proved to be just as mind-numbingly painful.
One of the biggest killers for me was the other day when the San Francisco Giants brought their World Series trophy to Chico for "fans" to get their pictures taken. I'm going to quote his radio spot as accurately as I can remember. It won't be perfect, but here goes:
"Yesterday I found myself doing something that I never in my life thought I would do. It's hard for me to talk about. When the San Francisco Giants brought their World Series trophy to downtown Chico I was working at a booth covering the event. As the morning wore on people stopped by me and asked, 'Wait a minute. Aren't you a Dodgers fan?' To which I replied no. A life-long Dodger fan who bleeds Dodger Blue as much as any other, I denied my Dodgers until the cock crowed and St. Peter laughed at the irony of my situation."
First of all, shut up. Really? Did you just use a bible story to talk about baseball? And you're not a Dodger fan. You're a coward and a terrible "journalist". The story was stupid. Painful, moronic, worthless. You're just as bad as all the Giants fans downtown that day that you have been patronizing for the past two months. When it's convenient and the weather is fair, you'll put on your team's jersey. But when true fans support their teams, you're nowhere to be found. Burn all your sports gear. And your bra. You're a fraud and a coward and worthless. Please stop breathing so I never have to hear your voice again.
That is all. Thank you.
