    In that case, he probably reeks of it, too.

    Saw the thread title and thought maybe this was about Mariotti taking up residence in the Gray Bar Hotel after assaulting another "girl friend."

    Checked out the site...

    The "Open Letter" is uninteresting at best.

    However, I thought his pieces on Albert Pujols/Jack Clark and another one on the upcoming competition between FOXSports 1 and ESPN were pretty good.

    I probably won't be checking the site out on a daily basis, but I will go back to see what is there in the future.

    Good God that was a long introductory piece. I couldn't get through it all.

    Needed an introductory piece to the introductory piece.

    I tried. As a native Chicagoan, I tried, just because there was once a time (in my warped mind) that Mariotti wrote decent stuff. He just — Around the Horn gave him a visual presence for his narcissistic bloviating, and it quickly turned to crap from there. Same with most of those guys who have gone on to either focus on TV (the evil known as the Happy-Time Screamfest on First Fake) or let it become a major part of their lives (ATH, PTI).

    Is it fair to say his site lacks a certain punch?

    Nice to see he's still living in a fantasy world.

    Sure you have. Also, they're too corporate because they're corporations.

    Pretty sure Wilbon calls Goodell "gutless" on a weekly basis.

    This whole letter is him masturbating about his new, cutting-edge site.

    Less facts, more shouting and arguing. Exactly what we need.

    What happened to not masturbating?

    That didn't last long. Not even one graph.

    I thought your analysis was especially perceptive right there.
