A Friday Hypothetical: You wake up in a hospital. You have been kidnapped and connected to another person through tubes and machines. You are indifferent to the person, so it’s not Jay Mariotti. If you stay connected, this person will be cured in nine months, most likely you will be unharmed. If you disconnect yourself, [...]

Tell us how you really feel, Ralph Vacchiano: “As for Jay Marriotti, allow me to get down in the mud and muck for a second and say he is a loudmouth moron who is very lucky that ESPN has built a platform for know-nothing, say-anything buffoons over the years, so he and guys like Woody [...]

Last week, unemployed sports writer Jay Mariotti penned a lengthy email to the Chicago Reader in which he rambled about many topics, and also took a swing at his former colleague, columnist Rick Telander. We asked Telander for a response, and it is the kind of retort that might inspire the Chicago alt-weeklies to do some [...]

We’d say the guy has insecurity issues, but that wouldn’t begin to tell the story. Unemployed journalist Jay Mariotti to the Chicago Reader: I could spot Rick Telander 890 words of Rick Reilly, and he still wouldn’t write a relevant 900-word column. He’s a bitter old man stuck in 1973. Telander, a one-time TBL interview subject, couldn’t [...]

I have to say, I've had it. Bad sport journalism has reigned over this city for some time. We've had the journalist with a personal vendetta (Jay Mariotti). Then, we had the closet racist who said inappropriate things at inappropriate times (Mike North). However, we now get to see one journalist who has been lurking in the negative shadows: Rick Morrissey. Morrissey has been the king of negative for...

Turns out, many of his colleagues at the Chicago Sun-Times, where he worked for 17 years, might have hated him as much. Maybe more. They have lined up to get their licks in since Mariotti announced his resignation from Chicago's second-largest daily last week. "We wish Jay...
