    Verbal: The Sun-Times lets Mariotti go. They wait until his wife and kids are in the ground and then they go after the rest of the mob. They kill his kids, They kill his wive\, they kill his parents and his parents' friends. They burns down the house he lives in and the stores they work in, they kill people that owe them money. And like that they were gone. Underground. Nobody has ever seen Mariotti since. He becomes a myth, a spook story that criminals tell their kids at night. "Rat on us, and The Sun-Times will get you." And no-one ever really believes.

    I'd like to say I'm amazed.. but with all that he's said this week, i can't....
    What a spiteful little bitch he is...



    What about that? host Phil Ponce asked Mariotti Monday evening on Chicago Tonight. Mariotti replied that “Blizzard of Oz” is clever and harmless. As for “Big Skirt”—it somehow vanished in Mariotti’s own blizzard of words. “If you’ve read my column I haven’t complained about me being called this name [fag],” he told Ponce. “I am detaching myself from it and looking at the manager of the White Sox who used a slur a year ago and—these are serious issues now, Phil—and why the commissioner of baseball would only give him a fine, which is probably light, and sensitivity training. . . . If this is all Ozzie is going to do, if this is just a silly little thing, then what is Ozzie going to gain out of it?”

    I'm past the point of caring, and I'm not sure that I ever did.
    Anyway, I'm more mesmerized by Mizzou's new animation. I just stared at it for, like, an hour.

    Don't stop caring about it. It will make him scream even louder.

    Yeah, looks like the ticket window down the first-base line, near the corner of Addison and Sheffield.

    What's that bulge in Jay's jacket pocket? Is he packing a snubnose for self-defense?

    What is a "hip salute?" Is that where you stick your ass at the guy, spread your cheeks, fart, what? That term is new to me.

    Mariotti goes to games. He sits in the press box, but he goes to games. He doesn't write from his couch.

    Not defending him or anything. Just trying to make sure the facts are established.
