Tim is a petty tyrant who blocks folks from accessing his work on social media for benign milquetoast takes on his work. His attitude carries over in to the content he puts out on this podcast for example Tim shared folks at the 49ers remarking he hasn’t been at the facility.

Tim needs to stop saying devers was a lot of money. He would be the 5th highest for dodgers and maybe top 20? Plus they gave up hicks.
