A blog dedicated to venting frustration about dumb members of the sports media via angry commentary. No, we're not the first guys to do this kind of thing. Still, Jay Mariotti and several other prominent members of the national sports media need to lose their jobs. We want to facilitate that process any way we can. Feel free to direct any pressing questions or comments to any or all of us at firejaymariotti@gmail.com.
Murray Chass
nb: Jeff Pearlman is mentioned in this review of Roberts's A-Rod book...as someone who actually uses quoted sources rather than anonymous innuendo.

The funniest part of Chass' post is when he criticizes Roberts for her use of anonymous sources to support allegations of steroid use in high school, then provides the names of three of the sources.
Just a tip, Murray: If a person names a source, that source isn't anonymous!
That aside, it looks like Roberts is going to take a beating over this one. Well deserved, from my perspective.
When's the Manny book coming out?
Actually, if you remove the quotes and other information that Roberts attributes to anonymous sources in the 246-page book, it might be left with 46 pages. Reminds me of what someone once wrote about Lenny Dykstra's autobiography, Nails.
"It's a ten page book if you take out all the 'fucks'"
Or a Rick Rielly column.
"Had she told how she secured the information - I suspect it came from a Federal agent of some sort - that part of the story would have been the most significant part of her book with an identified source. Who would that be? Roberts, of course."
It infuriates me how these things get leaked and no one cares about how it happens. Kind of like when the Bonds/Giambi grand jury testimony got leaked. Am I mistaken in that was a federal crime to leak them?
