The point is that, making fun of players physical appearance publicly like he did with Andersson has very little, if any, positive benefit. It just doesn't come across as being very professional.

I really think you are making too much of it. It was a joke, and it was funny. It couldn't cause any damage, as you could tell he really likes the player.
Same with the Arizona GM shot. More of a shot against analytics than age, in my opinion. Doesn't really mean anything, other than is confident in BT dealing with anyone in the league.
