Whereas boy bands see the cash that piles up that allows them to pay for rehab and lawsuits to "make the kind of music they want to" and recoup money they lost due to Lou Pearlman, Jay Mariotti just thinks about how he is on television and how he gets attention and thinks he must be doing something right. <BR/><BR/>I think everyone, including the Sun-Times, is aware of how horrible Mariotti truly is but they can only see the color green. His columns generate interest and make them money so no one cares. I would love to watch someone go at Mariotti really well in the press one day and then offer to fight him. I also can't wait for when Ozzie Guillen does get fired and he will be standing outside Mariotti's door like Russell Crowe did Denzel Washington in "American Gangster." I am way too excited by this.Bengoodfellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09401971573776672570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6300012139741038635.post-91177496276069922352008-06-23T09:22:00.000-07:002008-06-23T09:22:00.000-07:00jim - The Sun-Times must have the best e-mail filt...jim - The Sun-Times must have the best e-mail filters known to man to find the positive stuff thrown Mariotti's way.Derpsaucehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08881690667013390019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6300012139741038635.post-58408659598720916272008-06-23T05:26:00.000-07:002008-06-23T05:26:00.000-07:00If not for his appearances on ESPN, you'd think Ma...If not for his appearances on ESPN, you'd think Mariotti was just another cranky old sports writer wearing a worn out fedora and chomping on a cigar. Which would be an improvement over the goofy Phyllis Dyller look-alike that we get instead. And this is the guy that's going to unify sports writers by ripping their work?

Which seems weird, because Mariotti seems older and (duh) more bitter than Telander. Did anyone ever see the Sports Reporters, a show from back in the 80s with the old guys smoking cigars and talking about Chicago sports? The young guy on there is Telander. He's on Jim Rome's show every once in awhile. Also, Joe Cowley is the Sox beat writer, (who does go into the clubhouse, and the ballpark, unlike Jay) and both he and Telander work for the same paper as Mariotti. I'm only saying this because the blogger said he doesn't know him.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6300012139741038635.post-72341100007550853242008-06-23T02:55:00.000-07:002008-06-23T02:55:00.000-07:00On the Sun-Times sports page today is a link to em...On the Sun-Times sports page today is a link to email sent to columnists.

Does ...I always wonder how self-aware Mariotti is. Does he know how bad he is? I mean, what he does obviously generates controversy and thereby interest. So he'll probably have a job as a columnist as long as he wants. But I mean, does... does he know how objectively horrible his writing is? A good comparison is boy bands. Do they know that they're just around to sell albums, or do they actually think they're doing something musically important? I think these questions are right up there with "How is Derek Jeter so calm-eyed?" in terms of how much I ponder them.larry bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13646537145612677810noreply@blogger.com
