Mariotti strikes back

I do question if the Sun-Times is milking this for the reasons you've offered.

I don't question, however, the theory that Jay Mariotti is a blowhard and a coward.

 

From the Chicago Tribune's live blog of today's City Series game:

"UPDATE: Mariotti is cornered in the lunchroom with his cell glued to his ear, whining to his bosses about the inconsiderate behavior of his Sun-Times peeps, who apparently don't like him. FANTASTIC!"

 

Completely off topic but I wonder how much longer Rupert is going to fund the Post since he has a shiny new toy in the much larger and much better Wall Street Journal.

Back to Jay and the *feud* I don't care. Much like the latest musings of Jemela, it doesn't mean anything to me.
I guess it is amusing to read about the goings on here, but that's about it.

 

They don't. The NYT estimates the Post's losses at $50 million per year. The Daily News, in its best years of the Zuckerman regime, has been marginally profitable. The Times has always had a dominant share of the ad revenue.

 

Earlier in that same blog: "Sun-Times hero and fan favorite Jay Mariotti asked for a security presence to safeguard him from his colleagues. Wonder Why?"

What a massive tool.

 

Oh the drama.

 

I'm not sure anyone liked him. But I do think people respected the body of Cosell's work.

 

At least he didn't have to worry about being attacked by the players after the game...

 

Funny. Jay-boy was the one who made the public threat to punch somebody ("I would love to punch you," to Telander) and he's the one who demands security protection.




I'm sure Telander lives in mortal fear of that thundering bolo punch from Mariotti, about on par with his fear of being swarmed under by runaway fleas.

 

You're afraid of your co-workers? Wow, that speaks a lot for your credibility.

 

The only people in Chicago who enjoy Mariotti are those employed at the Tribune.
