This One is for Terry Boers

Terry Boers is the afternoon cohost (with Dan Bernstein) on the Score, a sports radio station in Chicago.  Terry is a Score original.
Among Terry's many contributions to the show is a certain response he gives to any mention of follicles of any kind.  Terry will immediately follow such words with "by crackie".  What does it mean and why does he do it?  That is a long story, which long-time Score listeners probably know already.  If you don't know, I suggest you call the show (especially during the "Ask us anything" segment which they run on some editions of "Friday Fung".
If you aren't confused by now, congratulations.
When I was in San Francisco last summer, we went to a Giants game.  Brian Wilson is their main closer and he is known for having a large beard (by crackie).  When I saw the promotion flash on the big scoreboard, I immediately thought of Terry.
So, for the many hours of listening pleasure and for all you have done for Chicago sports fans, Terry...this one's for you!

No, not Larry Horse, Terry Boers!

I have met radio legend Terry Boers many times. Boers is a long-time fixture on the Chicago sports media scene, first in print and now at WSCR radio. Paired with Dan Bernstein in the afternoons, they do the very best they caaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan to keep us (the long-suffering Chicago sports fans) informed, entertained and perhaps have a laugh or two along the way.
The first time I met Boers was at a charity bowling event sponsored by WSCR. Despite the rather chaotic nature of the event and the many people trying to get his time, Boers seemed very happy and relaxed as he chatted with fans and posed for pictures.

Unfortunately for the humor end, I cannot give myself a "Who you crappin'?", because everything in this post is true. I can question why Boers is holding a bowling pin (maybe that is why he is smiling). E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E
