    Without re-reading the whole thread, is this whole 'Jay fulfills contract and goes home' story based solely on the Tribune column, which was clearly written in retaliation for the 'Sun-Times sues Trib for ruining Cubs' story'?

    Not suggesting the Tribune was inaccurate, but is there any other source/insight for this story?

    No one here has a problem with any columnist ripping an athlete or team. A columnist gets to offer his opinion, good or bad.
    But you have to be make an effort to be fair -- or you're labeled as jumping on the bandwagon when things are good and piling on when things are bad. If you don't present both sides of an argument, at least learn both sides of the argument. You need to be fair -- and Eddie Munster isn't.
    You should stand behind what you write, and when Eddie hides in the press box and doesn't make an effort, he is ripped.
    I would love, just fucking love to see Ozzie hold his post-game presser in the press box one game this season, look Munster right in the eye and say in his fractured Spanglish, "OK, no excuses now."

    Yep, he ripped the White Sox all the way through the 2005 regular season.

    He couldn't function without his stiletto.

    Jay is THE MOST HATED reporter in Chicago. Everybody HATES him - including those at the Suntimes.

    Ozzie Gullen was right. The would be a better place without this Evil demon.

    That's a good point. How will be able to get on his high horse and right about spoiled athletes when he comes back?
