People still read the newspaper? I'll be damned. As for Jay, I take it ESPN will be seeing alot more of him. Can't imagine what else he could be "pursuing".

 

I truly LOATHE him on Around Da Horn.

 

ESPN has been snatching up all of those writers from their shows. Michael Smith, Woody Paige, J.A. Adande and others have spurned the newspapers to write for ESPN.com, The Magazine and appear almost daily on various sports talk related shows.

Marriotti will be no different.

And yes, the newspaper is a dieing business. I was talking about this the other day and I think most major papers will either be out of print, or severely scaled back by the time my generation hits its 40's ( I am 25 currently). Everyone gets their news online and through the TV now, its rendered the need for a newspaper useless.

 

I don't know that I can fully express how much I dislike hearing him, and his idiot twin. Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dumb.

 

That show and the one during the day with ESPN's #1 idiot. Skip Brainless.

 

There all idiots.

 

Newspaper Are still good for packing your glasses and china when your moving.. tbh

 

and for a bird cage.....or training a puppy

 

and fish... I think...


see it had multiple uses!

 

Note to sportswriters (and ESPN): the newspaper business is dying because of the content, not the format. Absorbing anti-talent from the newspaper industry does not improve your own offerings, ESPN.

 

Can't stand this guy on Around the Horn. He's the only reason I stopped watching it. As for Bayless, I think they pay him to stay stupid remarks. I don't think one can be that dumb or can he?

 

But what will we read in the morning? Newspapers pass the time.

 

Yet I'm insulted every time either opens their trap.

 

Dan leBatard had some details...

he said that Jason Whitlock called him and told him that Mariotti threw a fit because their department had a story to do on Obama and they gave it to Rick Tellender. Mariotti threw a hissy fit and resigned on the spot.

Chicago Sun-Times Editor in Chief Michael Cooke has made a statement:

 

The consumate mariotti site:

I do believe he is a Jets fan?:tongue2:

 

Jason Whitlock is a grade A douchebag as well

 

Charles Barkley called Bayless the worst person in the world.

:lol:

 

around the horn is easily my favorite show on tv...i wish they could only have woody, cowlishaw, gutiriezz and adande every show.

 

I dont mind Whitlock. He pulls the race card quite a bit too much though. His radio show is much better than are his tv appearances.
