Timothy Burke’s home raided by feds

Former Deadspinner and Twitter video ace Timothy Burke had his home raided by the FBI in connection with potential hacks at Fox News.

Obviously there are a lot of unknowns but I’m not sure if I’ve seen a story like this one.

How the hell am I going to see highlights of games I’m not watching?

 

Maybe they want to see what he was up to while he was pitching for the Expos?

(Sorry, couldn’t resist)

 

He either deleted a bunch of recent tweets or hasn’t posted in 3 weeks.

 

His wife, who’s a Tampa councilwoman, also hasn’t tweeted in weeks.

I wonder if this raid was legit or Uncle Rupert called in some Fed favors from friendly FBI agents.

 

A source provided me the content.

Who is your source?

HaHaHaHa

 

The raid was three weeks ago. May 9, I think.

 

Last time this sort of thing happened it turned out the journalist was being investigated for child porn.

 

Goddamn this is a good pull.

 

Bubba Prog?!?!?

 

His mom was my high school English teacher. And it seems almost every single prominent Ohio University grad has been arrested or canceled in recent years. Mike Schmidt and MacGyver better pay their taxes.

Seems like a good guy, so I hope this is all baseless.

 

Tim Burke was the single most dominant player in 1987 Stratomatic baseball. Not rookie McGwire. Not Andre Dawson. Not Clemens. Tim Burke. He was 7-0, 1.19 ERA. Very good in real life. In Strato? Impossible to hit. On his card you couldn't get a hit. Nor did his card allow a walk. So if the roll of the dice led to his card you were screwed as an opponent. It was infuriating! My cousin always seemed to end up with him and we got into hours-long arguments about his use of Burke. He'd bring him for three-inning saves though 30 years later he still denies this. But it happened. And he'd use him to save five straight games if necessary. Like, wouldn't he need a break after multiple multiple-inning saves? But my cousin just kept trotting him out there, utterly unhittable. Bitter text messages are still exchanged about this.
