Sun times = owned. Mariotti, aside from being the premier sports writer of our time, is absolutely right when he says the future of his industry isnt in newspapers. Look for a SI or ESPN contract immedately.

If you watched Around the Horn today (8-28-08) you would have seen the woman that came on get cut 1st (I forget her name). She said that was fine, she had to get to an interview with the Sun Times.

Everyone else laughed at Mariotti while he sat there like a putz.

Jay will do fine.

There are a lot of websites looking to pay six-figure salaries to chubby, aging guidos writing sports columns consisting of "Make a trade! There's no accountability! Make a trade! Unload him! Fire the coach! Make a trade! Make a trade!"
Really, I'd LOVE to see some of the 800 gigs of child porn they blackmailed him with to make "quit".

Jay signed a 3 year/$6 million dollar extension he signed a couple of months ago. With his resignation, he won't see a cent of that contract extension. No fucking way ESPN.com or SI or whatever comes even close to that. Yahoo/SI/ESPN/Fox Sports already has a stable of writers that can write better than Jay at a cheaper price. If you were ESPN, who would you rather pay, Bill Simmons, or Jay Marorrti? And Simmons is younger and is cheaper.

Skip is able to admit when he's wrong. He'll even apologize for it. Jay is a fucking jackass.

Jay is right about the direction of media, but he's still an ass. At least he's still entertaining; weather he's the butt of the joke or not.

Woody and Jackie McCullen don't currently work with newspapers, and they still show up on the show, especially Woody.

Woody writes for the Denver Post.

Man, I've missed the last couple days, Jay quit the CST? wow. And who the fuck would pay him 2 million to write for their paper? god damn.

I hope this guido fuck doesn't get hired by anyone and is stuck blowing Skip Bayless for money.

''I'm a competitor, and I get the sense this marketplace doesn't compete,'' said Mariotti, who will remain a regular contestant on an ESPN game show."

Guess he's still gonna be on ATH. He does a good job on ATH...he's just an epic failure at every other part of his (former) job. Woody Paige for president!

Honestly, who reads newspaper columns anyway... especially if you don't live in their cities. Coming from someone who loathes on air personalities such as jim rome, skip bayless and the rest of the shortman syndrome losers on ESPN like lupica... well I never really minded jay for some reason. Just got to take some of the bullshit he says with a grain of salt, but I can laugh at / with him far easier than tools like Plaschke. Guys like Woody, Jay & even Cowlishaw say stupid things but make it light and funny, Plaschke is just a west coast homer faggot who actually seems to believe the garbage coming out of his mouth.

I wish LeBatard would be on ATH moar when he's not on PTI too... BAM!

This is now a thread where we post our preferred ATH lineup. Assume Reali as host.

Mine:

Michael Smith
Dan LeBatard
Woody Paige
Tim Cowlishaw

Bonus: Mark Cuban (according to Wikipedia, he was on the show before, kinda pissed I didn't catch that episode)

What an ugly way to leave the Sun-Times. It does not speak well for you. Your timing was exquisite. You signed a new contract, waited until days after the newspaper had paid for your trip to Beijing at great cost, and then resigned with only an e-mail. You saved your explanation for a local television station.

As someone who was working here for 24 years before you arrived, I think you owed us more than that. You owed us decency. The fact that you saved your attack for TV only completes our portrait of you as a rat.

Love him or hate him, he and Paige are the heartbeat of the show. When you have only one of them, it seems off.
