CUP OF JOE: The Troll Strikes Again!

Jason La Canfora is a troll. He proves it every day. The guy has anger issues, pretends to be an NFL Insider and he twists facts to fit his hate mongering agenda. If there’s a polar opposite to enjoyable content, it’s him. If the quintessential antithesis to informative sports talk exists, it overlaps a chair at 1423 Clarkview Road in the studios of 105.7 The Fan. Just look for the guy who appears to be eating the mic.

I worry about the guy. He seems to be on the verge of blowing a gasket. He’s the Sam Kinison of sports talkers. The difference is that La Canfora fails to entertain.

What is the root of all the anger?

Does it date back to the days when Dan Snyder landed him a job at NFL Network just to get him off the beat for the team formerly known as the Redskins? Is the anger rooted in his failures to be an effective “insider” at both NFLN and CBS? Let’s be honest, his next breaking news story will be his first.

Maybe the anger stems from being shunned by Eric DeCosta when trust broke down following a cute little end-around stunt La Canfora allegedly pulled to get in the good graces of another GM. Perhaps it’s all the above.

Yesterday, the bane of his existence was Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti, who La Canfora regularly labels “Silent Steve”. Everyone and anyone not named La Canfora who watched the Bisciotti presser yesterday, walked away from the 1-hour pow wow very impressed by Bisiciotti’s transparency and willingness to eloquently tackle any question directed his way.

Agree on this.
So many times, NFL team officials tie themselves in knots trying to not tell us what they are really thinking.
Candor is so refreshing. https://t.co/O9c5ItZwm6

Listening to Steve Bisciotti during his press conference today was a treat!

As a player he is exactly what you want as an owner and seems like a person you’d love to sit down and have a conversation with!

The comments to the above post on X were telling. Here’s a brief sampling of the hundreds that poured in.

What a fat, bloviating, absolutely detached from reality outsider.

Biscuit should buy 105.7 and make that chucklehead cover professional thumb wrestling in Kuala Lumpur

No one cares about this blow hards opinion. Anything that come out of Jason mouth is utter nonsense. How he still has a job is mind boggling. Absolutely the worst part of The Fan. Fire this clown, please.

The only thing worse than Jerry Coleman is fat Jerry Coleman. Get this dweeb off my radio. The constant negativity and grandstanding is atrocious.

I have been a loyal listener for years but I’ve had it with @JasonLaCanfora. The press conference was amazing. JLC is a hater in all aspects of his life. He projects jealousy, resentment, grievance, & anger. I’ll listen to the FS1 shows & get more reasoned/seasoned takes.

And these comments are some of the more rational ones. Click above and see for yourself.

At the end of the bar (to borrow from John Harbaugh) maybe the suits at The Fan think this lame La Canfora schtick is good for the station. But I wonder what his colleagues think. I know for a fact that other on-air personalities can’t stand the guy. I hear from fans all the time who wish The Fan would send him packing. I can’t imagine that any company spending their hard-earned dollars for The Fan’s pricey ads, is getting their money’s worth between 2-6 PM, Monday through Friday due to the association with this blustering gasbag.

And lastly, I find it hard to believe that La Canfora’s sidekicks, Ken Weinman and Tim Barbalace, haven’t voiced their concerns about the association with the self-proclaimed insider, unless of course they’ve developed a level of comfort with La Canfora and his career journey that seems to be circling the drain.

Bon voyage!
