My least favorite sports media personality (for lack of a better word). Never passes up a chance to insult BBN. Pound sand, Wilbon.

Yesterday he called us the most obnoxious fan base in sports, by far.
He called us spoiled brats when Cal left. Also called us racists when Tubby left. And now, he's calling us obnoxious.
I haven't watched them in a long time. While I appreciated his Cubs love, at the time I quit watching he was really reaching to make too much stuff about race for my liking. Not even legit things, just real reaches. I used to like the show though.
Fans of programs that have never really accomplished anything have always felt that way about us. Pretty sure he’s a Northwestern alumni.
Soon enough we will be once again able to direct his eyes to scoreboards and banners.
Winning cures everything and victory is the ultimate vengeance.

I can't believe those 2 guys aren't dead. Aren't they like 80?
A cubs fan calling any fanabse obnoxious is hilarious. What a dumbass.
He’s an obnoxious, arrogant, spoiled, racist.
Said more than that. Said we were the most delusional and obnoxious fan base in sports. Said we would turn our back on coach Pope when he lost his first game
People like him are why I had to shut the media out. They're not worth paying attention to.
Not sure why Kornheiser puts up with his reverse racist ass. Wilbon is a bandwagon POS but always throws in his Chicago roots while he sits in Arizona on his pompous ass, looking down on those “rednecks” from the south. He’s a hypocritical hot bag of self entitled farts.
Cubs, Bulls, Northwestern-- he's a shill for all of them
He's been told too many times that his opinion matters.
I tuned in to what they'd say. Instead of praising the program for the fans showing up, they decided to start off taking shots
phugg those guys

In a sea of the same personality over and over.. how the hell could you NOT like McAfee?
If for nothing else, he seems like a heck of a lot of fun to hangout with and doesn't really give a shit about the ESPN management.
I'd rather be from down here that up there in Chigaco. The world's largest open air shooting range.
That guy is a tool. Don’t listen to him your life will be better.
I wouldn’t pay much attention to that racist if I were you.
I would have hated him too if that happened to the cardinals. I would have limited it to eff that nerd and left it there though.
Holy crap that was n 2003? I'm getting old fast.
I hate him on Gameday. He really killed the chemistry. Reece, Kirk and Desmond along with other guys in short / lesser roles were killing it. It’s the only sports related show I watch (other than the actual games of course), and he just made it worse.

Lots of people calling Wilbon a racist, what's the reasoning? I remember watching PTI 20 years ago and he didn't come across as one.
I’d agree with this. I don’t like him on Gameday. But I enjoyed his old podcast and his current tv show is fairly entertaining
He said he hoped Kentucky would never win another game after Tubby left. He thinks it was us Racist fans.
There is no such thing as reverse racist. He is just Racist. A Chicago/Northwestern guy who thinks anyone not living in a Liberal state/city is a racist/redneck.
If we're being totally honest, he's not wrong but we are a great and knowledgeable base too. And being the best program historically, does bring out a bit of that from most people, naturally. We're far from being the only obnoxious fan base out there and probably not even the worst but yes, we are an arrogant and sometimes obnoxious bunch. It's really hard to argue with that. Ever seen a truly modest champion boxer? Me neither. Ali was the worst but because he truly was the best and he knew it. Same here. Race is a different story. Some level of racism will probably always exist everywhere but to say we are worse than other schools is not the case, IMHO.
Oh yeah, I'd give you that. That's not really what he's meant for, though. He's made for the podcast/talk show world.
Wilbon is a prime example of why I haven't watched a single sportstalk show on ESPN in the last ten years. I know me not watching doesn't hurt them any but I wish it did.
He fell all over himself to capitalize on race in the phony Bubba Wallace 'noose' story.
